As I have processed the horrors of the violence in the region, I have recently found myself struggling to keep hope alive, but after witnessing the transformation of students as they learn with and about each other, it becomes impossible not to hope.” -@MirzaMahan

On an intercultural encounter in Rome, students from @NotreDame, @HebrewU and @TelAvivUni gathered to learn about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in an atmosphere of understanding and respectful dialogue: https://t.co/rw4iqqkei7

In honor of International Women's Day on Saturday, we're proud to recognize Abby Córdova's research to understand and address the causes and consequences of gender-based violence. This violence perpetuates poverty and curtails human rights: https://t.co/JsJVARA56v

@RobertEllsberg Beautiful. And profound.

@mattcashore @DiverDriverCom Ok. But how’d you get him to agree to stand still for so long?

[Keough School of Global Affairs @KeoughGlobalND]

@AnsariUND @MaryGao And plenty of additional insights on global partnerships, policy impact, study abroad, learning another language, core research themes that connect with Notre Dame's strategic plan, and much more. https://t.co/R3GTRwp2CY

The Ansari Institute mourns the loss of great scholar, priest, and father of liberation theology Gustavo Gutiérrez. A Dominican priest, he also served as Notre Dame’s John Cardinal O’Hara Endowed professor of theology. His wisdom will continue to shape the Church for generations.

Grateful for the work that @MirzaMahan and Tzvi Novick are doing to organize these important conversations.

A few pics of today’s multi-faith, multicultural, multi-lingual, multi-generational commemoration of 9/11. Pope Francis reminds us that “a culture of encounter and a culture of dialogue; this is the only way to peace.” Thanks to the RCLC for hosting! @KeoughGlobalND @NotreDame

Pope Francis on his trip to Indonesia: “walk in search of God and contribute to building open societies, founded on reciprocal respect and mutual love, capable of protecting against rigidity, fundamentalism and extremism, which are always dangerous”
