The Most Important Jobs
This year’s Notre Dame Forum on “Women in Leadership” has me a bit uneasy. What really got me was how Father John Jenkins, CSC, explained in his message to the student body that this Forum is meant to introduce students to different fields “from the personal accounts of women who have risen to the top of their professions.”
Believe There is Good in Detroit
Notre Dame prides itself on the “education of both the mind and the heart.” A Notre Dame education at its best leads students to think beyond themselves and use their gifts for the common good.
Letter to the Editor: “What is Notre Dame Really Like?”
In his column “What is Notre Dame Really Like?”, Michael Bradley asserts that Notre Dame has two “incommensurable” goals: “to educate the minds and hearts of its students,” and “to actually outdo secular schools at what they do best.” If Bradley meant drinking and hooking up when he said “what secular schools do best,” then beating those schools at their own game is incompatible with educating students’ minds and hearts. However, he compares Notre Dame to “the Ivies, Duke, Stanford, and Northwestern” and not to certain other schools. This leads me to believe that “what secular schools do best” is academic and professional excellence, and that this is incompatible with authentic Catholicism. If Bradley believes that, he is wrong.
