To provide a more reliable wireless service, the Office of Information Technologies (OIT) has updated eduroam to be the primary secure wireless network on the main Notre Dame campus. This will not affect any of the `Global Gateway locations.

On Sunday, June 4, 2017, the ND-secure wireless network will be removed from the main Notre Dame campus. To improve your WiFi performance on campus and avoid an interruption to the service when ND-secure is shut down, we recommend you switch to eduroam today.

You will need to run the new utility on each of your WiFi-enabled devices at: http://eduroam.nd.edu. You can do this anywhere you can access WiFi, including at home.

For additional information about eduroam, please visit: https://oithelp.nd.edu/networking/.

If you have any questions, please contact your departmental IT support staff, or the OIT Help Desk at 574-631-8111, oithelp@nd.edu or chat online at: https://help.nd.edu.

Dear Colleagues,

Imagine hundreds of local Catholic school children walking together with their families on the final day of the Notre Dame Trail celebration. Now imagine your family on the Trail walking with your school or parish community.

We need your help inviting all Catholic schools in Michiana to participate in the Notre Dame Trail finale on August 26, 2017. This final day of the trail is complimentary to all registrants, and it will include amazing events to celebrate our 175 anniversary.

Last month, our team met with the principals of all Fort Wayne-South Bend diocese schools. Each principal received a packet of information and flyers to give out to all school children. Perhaps you even received a flyer from your school. The schools are excited about the Notre Dame Trail, and as the school year closes and we prepare for the next, we need help networking with parents and influencers at each school. We want to encourage each school to share this invitation at the beginning of the school year next August.

If you have children at a local Catholic school and/or are a member of a parish and would like to help get the word out, please contact Matt Klawitter on the ND Trail team. He will work with you to provide all the important details, marketing materials, and registration instructions.

We want our local schools to take advantage of the Notre Dame Trail, and we are hoping that our network of UR staff who are active in school and parish communities will champion this great opportunity to celebrate with us. We are counting on you!

Last week on May 11, 2017, The Catholic Theological Union (CTU) awarded Tom a Doctorate in Ministry (D.MIn.) for his work on narrative identity and Catholic schools.  After his undergraduate years at Notre Dame, Tom was commissioned an officer in the United States Marine Corps (USMC); among various assignments Tom served in Operation Sharp Edge in Liberia and Desert Shield/Storm in southwest Asia.

He is married to Kathleen Cummings, who is an Associate Professor in Notre Dame’s American Studies Department and also the William W. and Anna Jean Cushwa Director of the Cushwa Center for the Study of American Catholicism. Tom and Kathy have three children:  Margaret, a sophomore at St. Joseph High School; Thomas (TC), a seventh grader at St. Joseph Grammar School; and Anne, a third grader at St. Joseph Grammar School.  The family lives in South Bend and enjoys bike riding, watching movies, hanging out with friends and neighbors and spending their annual vacation at the Jersey Shore.
