STUDENT PROFILES
I chose Notre Dame because of its unparalleled academics and solid sense of community. I visited Notre Dame for a summer program before I applied, and I fell in love with the campus as well as the student body – which is dynamic, helpful, and driven.

I am currently the publicity director of FlipSide, a social group that organizes fun events on campus such as murder-mystery role plays and trips to Niles, one of USA’s premiere haunted houses. I am also involved with the KiND club, where we plan random acts of kindness around campus – from distributing free flowers to chalking the pathways with supportive quotes – to cheer up our fellow students. As part of the Undergraduate Women in Business club, we got to meet one of Cosmopolitan’s top executives, Donna Kalajian-Lagani. It was a discussion-based interaction where we learned more about her life, her work, and the factors behind her success. It was fascinating to hear about how she started off at Wall Street and eventually moved into the publishing world, working with magazines such as Cosmo. Notre Dame has a wide variety great networking opportunities like this one, where you are inspired by truly amazing people.
