    I joined ND Loyal as a way to give back to Notre Dame using my talent as a connector to help increase alumni giving. My love for Notre Dame shines brightly when I reach out to Domers of all ages. I remind them of Notre Dame’s important mission to educate tomorrow’s leaders and be a global force for good. I love being an ND Loyal Ambassador to do my small part to expand engagement with alumni.

      I joined ND Loyal because of my deep love for Notre Dame and the profound impact it has had on shaping who I am today. Grateful for the experiences and values instilled in me during my time at ND, I felt compelled to give back to the University. Through ND Loyal, I have the opportunity to help raise crucial resources by reconnecting with my classmates and ensuring that Notre Dame continues its mission of being a force for good in the world. Being part of this community allows me to stay connected to ND while making a meaningful difference for current and future students.

        As a proud alumnus of the University of Notre Dame, joining ND Loyal was a natural extension of my commitment to a community that has profoundly shaped my life. Notre Dame provided me with an unparalleled education, lifelong friendships, and a sense of purpose that continues to guide me. By volunteering with ND Loyal, I have the opportunity to give back to the campus and community that gave me so much, ensuring that future generations of students can experience the same transformative journey. My Irish pride drives my passion for reconnecting with fellow alumni and supporting our beloved alma mater through philanthropy and outreach.

          After being a ND Loyal Student Volunteer, there was no doubt that I wanted to continue after graduating as a ND Loyal Ambassador! Throughout my time on campus, the Notre Dame family was something I grew to appreciate and this role allows me to continue to foster connections within this family. Whether connecting with classmates, alumni from my dorm, students in my major/minor, or people from my local area, I am able to remain in touch with the individuals who made Notre Dame so special to me. The ND Loyal program provides an opportunity for me to remain philanthropic, engage with the campus community and alumni, and ultimately give back to the university that strengthened the person I am today.

            I joined the ND Loyal program during its inaugural year. As an alum, I treasured my time at the University of Notre Dame and wanted to help ensure that present and future students enjoy their experience there as I did! Little did I know that the ND Loyal program would deepen my connection to the University. I feel so blessed to connect with the Notre Dame family regularly through ND Loyal whether it be with fellow like-minded ambassadors, alumni, current students, and great University staff. Every time I step foot on campus it is so rewarding to see how all the efforts of giving back make a positive impact on our University of Notre Dame family!

              As we all know, Notre Dame is like no other place in the world. I consider myself to be very fortunate to be part of the ND family. I have always looked for ways to give back to the institution that has given me so much and I have found no better way than being an ND Loyal ambassador. Through the summits, newsletters, emails, etc. we are informed of all things noteworthy on campus while also being kept grounded in all the beautiful things that have remained the same. I love engaging with friends and fellow alumni to share this knowledge while also raising important funds that will help our beloved alma mater and future Domers. It was my dream to come to Notre Dame and now I appreciate being able to give back and help students who share the same dream.
