Do Hard Things: Learn from your Peers Why this Matters

Want to Experience the World? ND Undergrads on the Value of Doing Hard Things
Thinking about a summer experience abroad but it sounds intimidating or you're not sure where to start? Come for the stories, stay for the inspiration - and start imagining your own journey. Hear Notre Dame students talk honestly about what it was like to take on something big and unfamiliar, how they grew through the challenges, and why it's all been worth it.

Join us for an inspiring evening as students from the International Development Studies Minor and the Pre-Experiencing the World Fellowship Program (Pre-ETW) share their stories of conducting research and immersing themselves in communities across Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

These are Notre Dame students who took the leap - and found it transformative. Bring your questions - we'll have time for Q&A and a reception to connect afterward.

Student presenters:
