New 'For Good' Episode: Joe Becherer

Author: Gasser Abousaif

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it’s easy to become distracted and lose track of our contemplative nature. The arts help us recenter and focus on the things that matter most—the things that make us human.

In the tenth episode of For Good, Joe Becherer, the Director and Curator of the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art, explains why he commissioned well-known artists to create works specifically for the new museum, how art plays a role in various disciplines, and what impact the new museum will have on communities near and far.

New episodes of For Good: Stories from Notre Dame drop on select weekdays at giving.nd.edu/stories and the ND Loyal YouTube channel. You can also listen to the podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

A sincere thank you to the Notre Dame Family for making stories like these possible! It's because of you that Notre Dame is such a powerful force for good in the world.
