Continuing Education

Lifelong learning is a key aspect of a lifelong relationship with the University. Local clubs can provide exceptional learning opportunities for alumni and their communities through continuing education programs such as a Hesburgh Lecture, a financial workshop, or sponsoring a teacher for the Excellence in Teaching weekend seminar.

Hesburgh Lecture - The club conducted our 2010 Hesburgh Lecture on May 1st at Mara Auditorium on the campus of Gettysburg College. Our guest speaker was Kathy Sullivan, Director of Spirituality at Notre Dame. She gave a presentation entitled "The Search for Fulfillment: Applying the Beatitudes in Tough Times". Her presentation was fabulous and we received many great comments about it. For a review of the great weekend we had with Kathy just click on the following links.  Lecture Report    Gettysburg Hospitality 101    Welcoming Committee
