Dear Students and Parents of the Class of 2018,
The 2017 Junior Parents Weekend Committee and
I are delighted to welcome you to campus to join in
this wonderful tradition. It has been our honor to plan
events that we hope will allow you to experience the
extraordinary academic, spiritual, and social life at the
University of Notre Dame.
To the parents, we hope that Junior Parents Weekend
will allow you to get a glimpse of how special our
“Home Under the Dome” is for us students. I ask
you to take this time to fully embrace this welcoming
community and learn about all the wonderful things
your student is doing and learning on a daily basis. To
my fellow students, Lou Holtz, legendary Notre Dame
football coach once said, “Those who know Notre
Dame, no explanation is necessary. Those who don’t, no
explanation will suffice.” We ‘know’ Notre Dame and
how special it is. Notre Dame is a place that will be in
our hearts forever. We are proud of Notre Dame, and
we should want to share it with those we love most.
Invite your parents into this community, and show
them why it is unmatched.
I hope that each and every one of you has an incredible
experience this weekend. Junior Parents Weekend is
a time where each of our individual families can be
merged with the greater Notre Dame family. Please
enjoy the weekend, and enjoy knowing what it is to be
Irish!
