The Moreau First-Year Seminar provides you an opportunity to study and practice living well. Your inquiry will be informed by diverse texts, contemporary authors from our community, the perspectives of instructors and peers, and co-curricular experiences. You will address perennial questions about worth, purpose, and relationships with others, the world, and God. Animated by Notre Dame’s Catholic mission and a sacramental vision of God working through persons, you will engage such questions in community. You will join peers in stepping back from the routines and tasks of life, considering your life at Notre Dame as a whole, and participating in the life-long endeavor of living well. You will conclude your Moreau experience in your final year when you reflect on your efforts to live well and anticipate how to flourish after graduation.
