    Senior Recognition Reception

    Before our seniors walk across the stage to graduate, we host a final reception for them and their families. During this event they give them their certificate for completing the program and give congratulations and thanks for their hard work.

Other Experiences

    Mass & Dinner

    Every Wednesday we provide an opportunity for our students to join us for mass in the Stayer Chapel at 5 pm, followed by dinner. This is an optional event, but is a great way to get to know your peers.

    JPW Reception

    Every year we host a reception on the Friday of JPW for our Junior Cohort to join us with their family. This allows us to thank their family and give them insight into the Business Honors Program.

    Study Break

    Each semester during finals week, we host a study break with food and coffee. This provides or students an opportunity to step away from the studying grind and breath.

    Senior Happy Hours

    In the fall semester, to engage with our seniors, because they no longer have colloquium, we provide a happy hour once a month. This allows our senior cohort to continue to foster there community while they wrap up their last year at Notre Dame.
