“As you go out into the world, remember what you’ve learned here at Notre Dame. Be confident in yourself. Remain open to the ideas of those around you. We’ve been given the tools inside the gates to go out and change the world.”

Dr. Rachel Criner '08

“You must dig deep for that resilience that is in all of you as Notre Dame women and challenge yourselves to find ways to continue your independent thought.”

Joan Sammartino Turner '77

"There is no choice but to be a leader here. And students thrive with it - they take it and run. Nobody is going to tell a Notre Dame girl to not speak up for what she belives in, and I think we give them that strength." 

Arianna Scavetti '07

"It is impossible to be a woman of Notre Dame and not fight for equality. It is impossible to be a woman of Notre Dame and not make a difference - just by being you."

Caroline DeLucca '24

"Notre Dame is a place that has allowed us to find comfort in discomfort. A place where we can make mistakes and not be ashamed. A place where failure isn't a bad thing."
