The Character to Lead

Notre Dame students are 21st-century learners: they strive for academic excellence; they embrace and stand up for diversity in people and ideas; they understand their strengths and limitations; and they regard fellow students as brothers, not competition. In turn, they become the ideal leaders for our rapidly-changing world.
