Respect and Understanding
Presented by With Voices True

“And then I had this enormous amount of empathy for that world because she had not experienced what I had experienced.” – Indi Jackson ’17
With Voices True is an archive of personal narratives on race. In partnership with University of Notre Dame Archives, the Klau Institute seeks to give voice to the Notre Dame community on issues of race and racial identity. Through written, spoken, or visual stories, our community reflects on how we experience race, how it shapes our lives, and how we navigate relationships within it.

We Are ND Stories
Presented by Notre Dame Alumni Association
A week after his arrival at the land that now makes up our campus, Father Sorin predicted Notre Dame would become “one of the most powerful means of doing good,” and to this day, that sentiment resonates within the Notre Dame family. Its members—both alumni and friends—live out that aspirational mission in their day-to-day lives. This shines through in the good things they do for their friends and neighbors and for complete strangers; through their day jobs and volunteer efforts; and within their local communities and beyond.
We Are ND, a digital publication from the Notre Dame Alumni Association, tells these stories of Domers doing good in the world. Each Monday, we will publish a new piece highlighting a member of the Notre Dame family who is making a difference. We welcome you to read our stories, and to check back each week for a new one.
