Gifts to the Sorin Society and Notre Dame Fund make the dream of a Notre Dame education a reality for deserving students, influencing nearly every aspect of University life.
One such way is through study abroad programs, in which Notre Dame ranked second nationwide for student participation among doctorate-granting universities.
This new designation recognizes the University’s commitment to global education, with 77% of students studying abroad.
While abroad, students are encouraged to take internships, integrate their academics with community service, and conduct research with leading academics.
“In the fall, I was able to study abroad in London. During the four months I was there, I was able to take courses for my pre-medical curriculum, volunteer at a soup kitchen, interact with local Londoners, and travel to seven countries in my free time. These once-in-a-lifetime experiences are ones I will never forget and are opportunities that support my dreams of becoming the first physician in my family. I would like to thank you for making these opportunities possible for me. Go Irish!”

“I am grateful every day I get to go to school at Notre Dame, and it would not be possible without your help. This past semester, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Rome and travel around Europe. I was able to live in a very different culture and immerse myself in an exciting and different way of life. My time here is allowing me to grow so much as a student, but even more beyond the classroom as a person. Thank you for helping me gain invaluable experiences and make memories that I will cherish.”
