Since 1986, the Hesburgh Lecture Series has brought a taste of Notre Dame’s academic excellence to alumni and their local communities. The lectures, hosted by Notre Dame clubs, have perpetuated the example of President Emeritus Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., as a lifelong learner.
The Notre Dame Club of Chicago offers 3-4 Hesburgh Lectures a year.
Planning starts in the summer and volunteers are needed to serve on the planning committee to brainstorm ideas for potential speakers and to promote attendance for the events. People on the committee also make phone calls to other ND alums, friends, and family to encourage them to attend the lectures. If you are interested in volunteering please email Michele Cahill, ’07 at director@ndchicago.org.
