Help Us Help Students!
With your support, we will continue to offer programming at no cost to students, make enhancements to NDignite Connection and create additional opportunities for students beyond seventh and eighth-grades. In fact, we are currently piloting a virtual community that will be available for ninth and tenth-graders in September 2017. It is our goal to create an opportunity for select eleventh-graders that includes an all-expenses-paid visit to campus for the students and a parent. Please vote for us!
NDignite Connection
Through NDignite Connection, the Office of Outreach and Engagement Recruitment has helped over 700 high-achieving students in seventh and eighth-grade explore their interests, ignite their passions, and understand what life is like at a highly-selective university. NDignite Connection is an online enrichment opportunity provided to participants at no cost. Students participate in six online sessions per semester during the academic year. During each session, participants watch a 30-minute broadcast produced by current Notre Dame students and complete activities following the broadcast. The activities are based on each broadcast topic and include leadership, service, college prep, spirituality, critical thinking, and respect for diversity. We are now expanding our efforts and need your support. Be sure to vote for NDignite Connection and encourage your friends to do so as well! Visit us at oer.nd.edu for more details on our office and programming.
