To officially kick off its 40th anniversary year, the Kellogg Institute presented a panel on November 10, 2022 showcasing scholars who had formative experiences as students affiliated with Kellogg.
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.
