How Notre Dame is Shaping Catholic Education

For Matt Kloser, the Hackett Family Director of Notre Dame’s Institute for Educational Initiatives (IEI), Catholic education is a vocation—shaped by faith and inspired by the call to serve. His own journey to teaching began at home in a family of educators committed to making an impact through the transformative power of education.

In this episode of For Good, Matt reflects on his path from Notre Dame pre-med student to Catholic school educator, shares his vision for the Institute and its flagship program, the Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE), and expresses his optimism about the future of Catholic schools.

Join us as Matt explains how Notre Dame is working to strengthen Catholic education by building bridges—between research and practice, public and private, science and faith—and, in the process, bringing hope to students and school communities across the country and around the world.
