Thank You
Dear Friends,
Thank you to our members for your loyalty, your commitment, and
your generosity. By joining the Sorin Society, you became part of
a very special group of people who believe in the vision of Father
Sorin, and care deeply about the future of Our Lady's University.
We simply cannot thank you enough.
In a letter he wrote less than two weeks after his arrival in northern
Indiana in 1842, Notre Dame's founder boldly stated that the new
University of Notre Dame du Lac would become "one of the most
powerful means for good in this country." So, it is altogether fitting
that the University recognition society named in his honor, the
Sorin Society, is a force for good at Notre Dame!
Indeed, gifts made by members of the Sorin Society touch
nearly every facet of Our Lady's University. Sorin Society funds
provide financial aid for deserving students, contribute to student
life, support strategic research investments, strengthen academic
excellence, support new technology, enhance University
communications, and much more.
Today, we continue to fulfill Father Sorin's bold vision that a humble
log chapel would grow into a powerful force for good. Two hundred
years after his birth, a Notre Dame education is a magnificent gift
of knowledge, faith, and spirit our graduates take forward with
them—to share with their families, their communities, and the world.
In Notre Dame,
Kevin Madden '90, '94
Director, Recognition Societies
