Please note: This event is only open to first year students at Notre Dame.
In line with the Forum theme of “Cultivating Hope,” and as a foreshadowing of first year students' Commencement in 2029, Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., will offer a special address to all first year students (and Moreau instructors and peer leaders) on the theme of “hope.”
Father Bob will both address the meaning of hope with an appeal to course texts, and invite you to reflect on how to live in hope at Notre Dame and beyond.
