Notre Dame International invites all members of the Notre Dame community and friends of the University to the second event in a series of virtual events dedicated to internationalizing conversations on issues of vital importance. Race and Building Communities of Belonging: Perspectives from the U.S., the U.K., & Brazil will be held July 16, 2020, from 9:00am – 10:30am (EDT) via Zoom. Pre-registration for the session is requested and the Zoom link will be made available once registration is received.
The July 16 roundtable will focus on ‘race and social inclusion’ and will feature perspectives from three countries with long-standing and significant race issues: the U.S., the U.K., and Brazil. Among the questions to be addressed: What are the challenges to building communities of belonging in these three national settings? In particular, what are the special obstacles that Black citizens face? In what ways are these obstacles similar and different in each of the three countries? What can we learn from efforts to promote racial equity and justice in each? What are the opportunities at this moment in history and how can we ensure that efforts to promote greater equity, justice, and social inclusion are sustained? How might faith communities contribute? What role might universities play, particularly a Catholic university like Notre Dame?

In the post COVID-10 workplace, the conference rooms at ESC and Grace Hall will be locked down to the Development Department team members only in order to minimize traffic and limit potential exposure. This will be effective Thursday, July 2. With this change in the ability to schedule, you will receive an automatic email notification for each conference room that we have locked down. The email states “Devhelp has shared a calendar with you”. Please ignore these emails, as no action is required from you.

Join THRIVE! on Friday, June 26th, 2020, from 12:00pm – 1:00pm (EST) for a Zoom session, Navigate Your New Normal, headed by Joe Holt, Professor of Management at Mendoza College of Business, expert in business ethics, and active supporter of gender equity. Drawing on his Jesuit training, Prof. Holt recently volunteered to serve as a “naplain” – part nurse, part chaplain – in Chicago during the height of the pandemic. In our session, he will help us reflect on the COVID-19 crisis and chart a path forward.
We’ll learn from his experiences serving others, insights into workplace empathy, lessons on flexibility, recommendations on our return to campus, and reflections on how the pandemic impacts women in particular. Topics will include: What invisible loads have we been carrying? How could institutions and people chart a path forward in empathy, recognition, and inclusive support? Prof. Holt is a dynamic, engaging speaker and a strong ally of women in the workplace. Don’t miss this special opportunity!
