Answering Notre Dame’s Call

Lily Joy Santos ’28 and Giovanni Nasello ’27 are much more than just voices in your voicemail. As student callers at ND Listens, they embody the spirit of gratitude, curiosity, and care that makes the Notre Dame family so special. 

In this episode of For Good, Lily Joy and Giovanni reflect on how ND Listens, Notre Dame’s student engagement center, builds authentic connections, fosters community across generations of Domers, and offers students the unique opportunity to share their love for Notre Dame with alumni, parents, and friends.

Whether they’re expressing thanks, celebrating milestones, or simply taking time to listen, the students at ND Listens are a true force for good—on the phone and in the lives they touch through each heartfelt conversation.

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.
