This year, the Kellogg Institute for International Studies is celebrating 40 years of excellence as an international research institute at the University of Notre Dame, promoting research on democracy and human development and providing enriching educational opportunities. And, we also celebrate 20 years of our International Scholars Program, offering highly talented undergraduate students the opportunity to learn to do research through one-to-one mentorship with Kellogg faculty in a supportive community of peers and alumni. Both anniversaries illuminate a history of excellence that provides a solid foundation for future research and educational endeavors.
We will commemorate these anniversaries with both academic and social events, as well as written and electronic reflections, inviting familiar and new faces to share in remembering our history as we look toward an even brighter future. Check this page often, as more content will posted about the anniversary as it becomes available.
On April 21-22, 2023 the Kellogg Institute will commemorate its anniversary with a special event that will include panels, social opportunities, special keynotes, and more. All are invited and we especially are looking forward to welcoming back former visiting fellows and alumni of both our graduate and undergraduate programs, in addition to meeting new friends.

Call for Kellogg 40th Anniversary Proposals
Commemorating Our Anniversary
The Kellogg Institute is excited to commemorate our 40th anniversary throughout the calendar year of 2023. A celebration event will be held April 21-22, 2023, and a host of other special events and speakers take place throughout all of 2023. Our purpose is to look back on our past with an eye to the future and to engage existing Kellogg community members as well as new friends and partners of the Institute.
April 2023 Celebration Event
We invite Notre Dame and Kellogg faculty, students, alumni, current and former visiting fellows, staff, and advisory board members to join the celebratory event on April 21-22, 2023. It will feature multiple sessions of both academic and non-academic panels addressing central themes in the history and future of the Institute, including a celebration of two decades of our International Scholars Program.
Confirmed panel organizers include Ellis Adams, Jaimie Bleck, Abby Córdova, Josh Eisenman, Lakshmi Iyer, Scott Mainwaring, Erin McDonnell, Ann Mische, Paul Ocobock, Holly Rivers, Maurice Sikenyi, and Guillermo Trejo, with topics ranging from building a career trajectory to global economic development, political regimes, and violent democracies.
You are invited to propose other sessions. Think about panels – academic or otherwise – that will convene 3-5 presenters for an hour and a half in the morning or afternoon of April 22. Up to 5 proposals will be accepted for the April event, but additional panels may be considered for other occasions. Proposals are due by January 3, however we will begin reviewing submissions on Monday, December 12.
