Fr. Ted Said…Serving Others

Notre Dame has a long and strong tradition of service and being a force for good.

Fr. Hesburgh’s commitment to serving others was the seed that grew into impactful service initiatives – both in our community and on a global scale. His leadership and personal example offered thousands of students the opportunity to come away with “the experience and knowledge that young people, all people, can do good for others less fortunate, and in so doing reap the personal gratification and satisfaction of knowing they have helped their fellow men.” 

Be inspired by our speaker lineup of alumni and faculty who are shining examples of service – just like Fr. Ted.

Host: Suzanne Shanahan, Ph.D., Leo and Arlene Hawk Executive Director, Center for Social Concerns
