Pursue Your TruthPursue Your Truth

Generations of students have grown into accomplished Notre Dame women while pursuing their truth at NDMU.Explore more at ndm.edu/truth

The dictionary defines truth as something that deals with facts and absolutes. Your truth is

more complicated than that—it's as complex, personal and unique as you are. Your truth is

your beliefs, goals and whatever you are passionate about. It's what you want your life to be.

Notre Dame of Maryland University was founded when a small group of fearless women resolved to

educate those neglected by society—women and girls. In 1847, six School Sisters of Notre Dame

(SSNDs) journeyed by ship to the United States from Germany, persevering through hardship

and adversity. In 1895, they established Notre Dame of Maryland as the first Catholic college for

women in the country to award the bachelor’s degree.

That spirited dedication still lives 120 years later. How do we know becoming a Notre Dame

woman will help you find and seek out your truth?

It’s in our motto: Veritatem prosequimur. We pursue truth.

So will you.

“I was interested in NDMU because

of the University's commitment

and Passion for service.”

Sarah Hasnain is part of the Bonner Leaders program, which pairs students with a community organization where they will provide 300 service hours each year for four years in exchange for work-study funds and free campus housing. Sarah mentors a robotics team at The Crossroads School in Batimore City. When in high school she participated in a similar techology program and the mentors she gained then still support her now. “To be able to mentor my students, as someone not too long ago did for me, is an honor,” she says.

As a new student, you’ll take part in traditions that

connect generations of Notre Dame women.

At the Pinning and Signing Ceremony, you’ll receive

your Notre Dame pin and sign the official register of

students. At Honors Convocation, you’ll take the Honor

Pledge of academic integrity—which Notre Dame

students have upheld since 1953. And at the New

Student Luncheon, the School Sisters of Notre Dame

will give their special blessing to your entire class.

You’ll hear that School Sisters Blessing again at the

Senior Luncheon, when the Notre Dame community

will come together right before Commencement to

celebrate your accomplishments. In between, you’ll be

part of many traditions, both time-honored and new.

You can even start your own!

And we don’t do all these things just for fun—

although we do have fun! Every Notre Dame tradition

is rooted in our individualized approach to education.

We pay attention, and we recognize our students’

achievements. To us, it’s second nature. The result? A

tight-knit, supportive community that is truly invested

in the success of every one of our students.

Past Notre Dame students travel to volunteer with the Red Cross. NDMU STANDS participated in day-long activities against sexual violence and domestic assault, empowering our community.

Service is an integral part of a Notre Dame education,

no matter your major. Entry-level nursing students

travelled to Haiti (1) to do school health physicals.

Business and Economics Society members served

dinner at St. Vincent's (2), an organization in Baltimore

which helps those impacted by poverty gain the skills

Geoff Delanoy

Associate Professor Geoff Delanoy’s work includes photography, digital imaging, and video installation. Recently, his photographs of Point Reyes National Seashore were featured in the exhibit The National Park Service—100 Years: California Dreaming.

He encourages his photography students to find their voice artistically, transform their vision, and make connections between photography and other ways of experiencing and knowing their world. They will “see their world with new eyes and see new details and relationships in their environments even without their cameras,” he says.

Beyond the lens

Research Out of this world

Y o u r t r u t hY o u r t r u t hE x p l o r eE x p l o r e

Maybe you are interested in healthcare, or education, or communications. Or international

affairs. Or social issues. Creative expression. Technology. Human nature. Maybe you don’t

know. Or it hasn’t been invented yet.

Whether you know what direction you want to take your studies or are still figuring it out, you owe

it to yourself to experience as much as possible while pursuing your education.

At Notre Dame, you will have that opportunity to explore. From research and practicum

opportunities within your major, to internship or study abroad experiences in our community or

across the world, to the chance for expression and service in clubs and activities on campus and

around Baltimore, you can investigate a variety of topics or delve deeply into an area of focus.

What is your truth? Here you can find it, explore it, pursue it.

Dr. Jennifer Kerr

Jennifer Kerr, Ph.D., assistant professor of biology, (pictured right, first on left) is working with a dentist and NASA to fix cavities in space. She wants to develop a hand-held device that delivers focused microwave energy (FME) able to kill the bacteria causing the problem. “Then with their body’s natural salivary mineral content, the tooth could actually fix itself,” she says.

Her project is applicable on Earth too! “We would love to envision this technology in someplace like Africa, where many don’t have access to a dentist often, or in dental clinics that service rural areas in the U.S.”

Some people’s paths through life are relatively straightforward. Some people’s journeys include

more twists and turns as passions and priorities change, or job markets are transformed by

evolving technological, societal or economic concerns.

A liberal arts education will prepare you for wherever your path leads. The broad-based knowledge,

critical thinking and advanced communication skills you develop are a foundation for not only

what you choose to do now and after you graduate, but let you navigate future twists and turns

with confidence.

“I encourage every student to

study abroad. My summer in

Colombia goes down as one of

the best summers of my life.”

When she started at Notre Dame, Ruth Kibe knew she wanted to study abroad, she just wasn’t sure where. Studying at the Universidad del Norte in Baranquilla, Colombia turned out to be the perfect choice. Practicing her Spanish pushed her outside her comfort zone, and she loved visiting different cities and learning their history. “My study abroad experience helped me become more independent, gain confidence in my abilities when in a new environment and expanded on my global perspective and understanding of other countries and cultures.”

Through the clinical research she completed during her Sister Alma Science Year (a 12-month research fellowship at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine), Maggie Linz co-authored a paper in Ophthalmology, the journal of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Her experience at the Retinal Imaging Research and Reading Center of the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins helped her discover how exciting the field of ophthalmology can be.

Dr. Angelique Besold ’08 didn’t set out to become a research

scientist, but one of Angelique's professors knew her well enough

to encourage her to participate in the summer internship program

that changed her life, propelling her to where she is today: a

Postdoctoral Fellow with numerous first author publications and

awards. During graduate school—where she felt more prepared

and confident than many of her classmates—Angelique realized

how well her NDMU experiences had primed her for her future.

Now, she has a grant from the National Institute of Health to fund

her research on how our bodies fight infections caused by the

yeast Candida albicans. “I know I will continue to succeed thanks

in large part to the experiences I received at Notre Dame.”

Graduates of Notre Dame of Maryland University are leaders and change-makers in many

fields and in many parts of the globe. But they all started at Notre Dame, pursuing their

truth, making the School Sisters of Notre Dame’s mission to transform the world their own.

Join their legacy.

Born in Ghana, Queenstar Akrong ’14 is passionate about

education and empowering women and girls. In her current

position she advocates for low income and under-served students

at education hearings and seminars across the country. After she

graduated, Queenstar worked on Capitol Hill, where her training

at Notre Dame prepared her to ask the questions necessary for her

own professional growth, leading to the chance to meet President

Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Madeline Albright and many other people

she admires. She considers the opportunity to foster and nurture

her curiosity the greatest gift of her NDMU education. “Notre

Dame creates an atmosphere to gain new knowledge as you

attempt to answer some of life’s toughest questions,” she says.

“In a world where many may shy away from questions, Notre

Dame demands that you ask in order to gain knowledge.”

Queenstar Akrong '14

“All of my courses allowed me to look

at things from different perspectives

and gave me a better view of the world

as a whole. Notre Dame truly prepares

you for anything and everything you

want to do in your life.”

“Curiosity and confidence to ask the

questions is one of life’s greatest

gifts. Do not take life at face value.

Dare to ask the questions. Know

yourself and the world around you.”

“From the minute I stepped foot

on campus, NDMU felt like home. It

still feels that way. Some of my most

treasured memories from the past ten

years are connected to Notre Dame.”

Catherine Smith ’05 M’10 didn’t stop with an undergraduate

degree. After she graduated, she went on to get a MA in Teaching

from Notre Dame’s College of Graduate Studies. In her current

position, she needs to be flexible, showing students she is willing

to see their point of view and approach them from a place of

understanding instead of judgment. Notre Dame's liberal arts

based education helped her be more open-minded. The small class

sizes, welcoming professors and supportive atmosphere, allowed

her the freedom to take academic risks and be wrong. Without the

fear of being ostracized or criticized, her inclination to lead began

to shine. “Notre Dame made me brave.” It seems other alums

she meets also credit their alma mater for making a difference in

their lives: “[They] all beam with the same dynamic pride for an

institution that always made it clear that people come first.”
