I urge you to please walk the campus! The basilica and administration building are deliberately located next to each other. If you have the chance, please check out the grotto, it’s gorgeous especially this close to graduation. ” Touchdown Jesus” artwork on the library is actually a mosaic. A lot of our artwork is deliberately named with football themes. There’s a $400 million investment underway around the stadium, including a digital media studio for video and mobile production work.

Slide showing difference between 2005 and 2013: Catholic papal events – first shot from 2005 has one person holding up a phone to take a photo, the second shot from 2013 shows EVERYONE holding up a phone to take a photo. Pretty dramatic. Our partnership with Modo Labs has allowed Notre Dame to deliver value to our campus. In higher ed, our ability to collaborate and share with other institutions has been a huge benefit. We’re in this game because we want to help our students positively change the world.
