Notre Dame Global in Photos: June 2024
Notre Dame's inaugural summer study abroad program in India wrapped up with a journey to the Taj Mahal while School of Architecture students interned at Rome's iconic Castel Sant'Angelo. Faculty and staff led expeditions to Saint Patrick’s fifth century mission on the Hill of Slane, and to volcanoes and markets in the Guatemalan Highlands. Notre Dame Santiago gathered students from its myriad programs to form connections over completos and sopaipillas while students enjoyed authentic Jamaican cuisine in Brixton, home to London’s largest British Jamaican population.
This photo gallery highlights some of the valuable interactions and experiences Notre Dame faculty, staff and students have taken part in over the past month.
The selection was curated by Notre Dame Global staff working in the University's 12 global locations.
