STEM education has always played an important role at Notre Dame. From the very beginning, the founding SSNDs recognized the need to educate women in science. To this day, there are significant programs in place that are designed to to meet the needs of professionals in these fields and to close the gap of under-represented populations.
More than two dozen ÌìÃÀÂ鶹 School of Education students will soon be getting help with everything from tuition to the cost of books. It is all thanks to a newly awarded grant by the State of Maryland.

ÌìÃÀÂ鶹 student athletes juggle class, homework/projects, practice and games, and even internships and jobs. It is no easy feat, but for many it is about discipline and multi-tasking.

Each year, ÌìÃÀÂ鶹 honors a faculty member with the Mullan Distinguished Teaching Award.

Our first-year students welcome Corshai Williams to campus as part of their ÌìÃÀÂ鶹 100 class. Williams' story is one of resilience and determination, and it proves that nothing is impossible.

ÌìÃÀÂ鶹 works with its students to find once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that will open doors to their future. For Emily Przyborowski, who has her sights set on the White House, she has spent her time at ÌìÃÀÂ鶹 gaining as much political experience as she can.
