“Men for Others.” That’s what you commonly hear when you think about Jesuit and what you hear during prayer services. But what you probably don’t know is the full extent of the maxim, and what it means exactly. Jesuit’s motto is actually, “Men and Women for and with Others,” but what does it mean to be men for and...
Shining lights, good food, better dance moves all come together in one room. Pausing momentarily to laugh with joy at the sight of the room of dancing students, one young person then quickly resumes his rendition of the macarena, rejoining the festivities. On December 9th, Jesuit and Ursuline students helped to host the 9th annual Notre Dame Christmas dance. About 50...

Shortly after arriving, they eat a nutritious breakfast to start off their wonderful day, packed with new and enlightening experiences. After finishing their meal, they all put their plates up, clean their table, and proceed to meet in Hughes...
Four days a week, Jesuit maintains a pretty strict "no pets" policy on campus. You will be hard pressed to find a dog or any animal around campus for that matter. Every Wednesday, however, if you walk by the senior courtyard, you will see and probably hear numerous pups as they arrive with their senior handlers to serve the...
The Jesuit Special Games is a place for people of all ages and abilities to compete and have fun.
