About this blog…

The Office of Community Standards endeavors to educate the Notre Dame community about our standards.  In addition to managing du Lac: A Guide to Student Life, we are pleased to offer a thought-provoking series of reflections to develop “a sense of community and of responsibility that prepares students for subsequent leadership in building a society that is at once more human and more divine” (Notre Dame Mission Statement).

Throughout the year we will be posting reflections alongside the best photographic work you will find on Notre Dame’s campus.  Among our blog posts you will find reflections on:

  • Quotes from influential Notre Dame leaders 
  • Passages from historical Notre Dame documents
  • Articulation of our University Standards of Conduct
  • Evolution of our Standards of Conduct over the years
