Global Citizen Scholar Program & CGL Speakers
Speaker Series and Panel Discussions that provide the school community access to speakers who offer expert opinions and information relevant to global issues and a Scholar Program that focuses on global themes and issues.
International Sisters in STEM Symposium
“The worst part was that the symposium ended! Each minute and second of every day was fresh and fun, and I could feel myself growing. I was attracted by the closeness of the teachers and the relationships between students from different grades. In Japan, there is a strong tendency to be afraid to express opinions to superiors, but the symposium completely destroyed that way of
thinking, in a good way.” - Inori, Notre Dame Seishin, JapanInori, Notre Dame Seishin, Japan
Inspiring Compassionate, Global Leaders
Notre Dame’s Center for Global Leadership realizes the Academy’s Strategic Vision 2015-2020 goal to educate, empower, and inspire women to be compassionate leaders in a global society. The Center is inspired by the legacy of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, who live and serve on five continents.

The Center is more than student travel. Over the past eight years, the CGL has gone from a concept to a multi-pronged department that impacts various aspects of the student experience at Notre Dame. Through thoughtful programming and global collaborations, our students and teachers are offered myriad opportunities to develop leadership skills, global competencies, and an informed and empathetic worldview.
