The Kellogg Institute for International Studies, part of the University of Notre Dame’s new Keough School of Global Affairs, is an interdisciplinary community of scholars that promotes research, provides educational opportunities, and builds linkages related to democracy and human development.
Our welcoming intellectual community helps foster relationships among faculty, graduate students, undergraduate students, and visitors that promote scholarly conversation, further research ideas and insights, and build connections that are often sustained beyond Notre Dame.

OUTREACH
As part of its educational mission, the Kellogg Institute provides resources for K-12 teachers to share with their students. Teachers can utilize Kellogg’s Traveling Trunks to expose their students to the culture, music and artifacts from countries around the world.
Kellogg will accept reservations for the Traveling Trunks for the Fall of 2022 semester starting Wednesday, August 3rd. Fall Trunk pickup will begin on Monday, August 29.
All educators are required to submit a one-time lending agreement the first time they borrow a trunk. If a lending agreement is not on file, the Kellogg Institute will be unable to release the trunk to the educator.
There are no user fees for borrowing the trunks. However, if items are lost or damaged, the educator is responsible for the replacement cost. If the trunks are not returned after a 2-day grace period, the Kellogg Institute will charge a late fee of $5.00 per day. Late fees will be used for the acquisition of additional materials.
Reservations for first semester (August through December) will begin in August and for the second semester (January through May) in November. Please limit your requests to two trunks. After the first month of reservation, requests teachers may reserve any trunks still available for the semester. Please make reservations at least one week before your requested pick-up to allow us time to inventory and prepare the trunk.
It is our goal to have as many trunks in circulation as possible. Trunks may be borrowed for up to one month. Please borrow only for the amount of time you need the trunk so other educators have as much access to the trunk as possible. Any educator who gives less than a one-week notice for the cancelation of a confirmed trunk reservation may be prohibited from borrowing trunks for the remainder of the semester as well as the following semester.
Trunks are picked up and returned at 1130 Jenkins Nanovic Halls on the University of Notre Dame campus and may be kept for a maximum of one month. You may park on the sidewalk adjacent to the south side of the building if you use your emergency flashers.
K - 12 Resources
Featuring cultural items from all over the world, these trunks are packed with music, books, instruments, maps, culturally specific items and more. Reserve a trunk for your class and keep it for up to one month giving you and your students a chance to really dive in and appreciate a glimpse into what life is like for other cultures around the globe.
