Academy of Notre Dame de Namur

To wrap up our Notre Dame Student Spotlight for the 25-26 school year, we are excited to highlight Linh T!

Linh is a student whose involvement, leadership, and compassion have made a meaningful impact within the Notre Dame community. During her time at ND, Linh was involved with Cross Country, Basketball, and Track. She has also dedicated herself to a wide range of clubs and service opportunities, including the Hope Walks Club, Honor Corps, Student Ambassadors, and Campus Ministry. Her commitment to both athletics and service reflects a deep dedication to leadership both in and out of the classroom.

Reflecting on her time here, Linh shared that her greatest impact came from the support of the Notre Dame sisterhood: "The ability to be challenged while still feeling encouraged and empowered has helped me grow in confidence and ambition."

This fall, Linh will be attending the University of Michigan to study Psychology. Congratulations, Linh, and best wishes as you continue your journey BeyoND the Gates!

☀️What a summer it's been so far at Notre Dame! So many activities are happening on campus, and our students have been busy making a difference as volunteers right here at home. ☀️

ND hosted the iCan​ Bike camp in June! This wonderful program is run by iCan Shine, a national nonprofit dedicated to providing recreational opportunities that empower individuals and help everyone 𝓈𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑒. Our ND students had a​n impactful week working alongside the camp counselors and connecting with each and every camper!

Wishing a beautiful Father’s Day to all of our incredible Notre Dame dads, grandfathers, and father-figures! Your steadfast guidance, strength, and love shape our community and inspire our students every day.

💙 Thank you for everything you do! 💙

Today, we honor Juneteenth. A powerful reminder of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing fight for justice. Inspired by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, we commit to standing with those on the margins and working for equity and peace.

A special thank you to our commencement speaker, Martie Gillian Bernicker '85, for her inspiring words that captured the essence of the Green Class and their sisterhood.

We can't wait to see what our ND students will achieve BeyoND the Gates!
