University of Notre Dame - Notre Dame Jerusalem

Palm Sunday is the moment when the global Church turns its attention to the small Christian community in the Holy Land.🌿

There is no need to romanticize or instrumentalize this community. Nor is there any reason for the global Church to feel hesitant about caring for it as for brothers and sisters in faith, especially these days. People here need you.

At the same time, there is no contradiction between caring for one’s own community and caring for one’s neighbors and fellow global citizens. Both belong together.

🎓 University of Notre Dame at the La Salle Jerusalem Open Day

This week, the University of Notre Dame - Notre Dame Jerusalem participated in the La Salle Jerusalem Open Day, meeting students from Catholic schools and other leading institutions from Jerusalem.

Our team highlighted Notre Dame’s need-blind admissions for international students and our pre-college offerings, including our newly introduced Jerusalem-based pre-college gap year program, ADAM. It was especially unique, because ND alumn, Adam Salek, joined forces and shared his perspectives and experiences.

It was a great day of connecting with future leaders. Thank you to all the participating schools!

“I believe that those with the capability to create economic value must also be catalysts for pervasive societal change. But bridging the gap between ambition and implementation, particularly in dynamic geopolitical landscapes, is no small feat. That’s why the RBE program was such a fantastic inclusion to my educational endeavors at the University of Notre Dame.” - Mark Giesey, MBA ’25 student at the Mendoza College of Business
Mark participated in the Reimagining Business Excellence (RBE) program in summer 2024 and shared his reflections.
