Student & Alumni Impact
Alumni with Impact “I honestly think more people should go to grad school with the idea of using it as an incubation period. You are getting applicable knowledge that you can test in a real environment every day.”
Alumni with Impact Just in time for #DryJanuary, Emree (Chapman) Woods‘ non-alcoholic beer line entered the niche craft brew scene. “I’m extremely excited about the potential of the industry. It’s part of a ‘better-for-you’ trend. Part of living a healthy lifestyle is cutting back on alcohol."
Alumna Profile "I hope that my girls will learn from me and be better, stronger women. I want them to value personal growth and development and, above all, understand that anything is possible for a woman, even in a male-dominated world.”
Alumni with Impact Voris Roberts Vigee (MNA ’20) became the first Black and female president and chief executive officer for Volunteers of America Southeast Louisiana in January 2021.
Alumni with Impact “Business school is my foundation of knowledge. I came to Notre Dame to build a network of people who share my values, and I’m so proud and honored to have found that.”
Alumna Testimonial "The Notre Dame family is a community I am proud to be a part of. The network has incredible presence to leverage across industries and I have found individuals are always willing to connect."
Alumnus Profile “I feel like I compete so much every day as an entrepreneur, that I needed something I knew would be competitive, yet inclusive. I needed a family, something to surround myself with.”
Alumni with Impact "The headlines around startups are romanticized. You have to have a passion for the problem you’re trying to solve. Passion is more important than expertise. It has to be core to the founding DNA of an idea or company."
Student Success Story The Observer writes about three Mendoza business students who generated a marketing and distribution plan for the latest fundraising efforts of a local nonprofit.
Alumna Feature "During my career, I always knew I'd be able to achieve what I want and Big Four accounting was what I wanted. Notre Dame helped me shorten the process of getting there."
Alumnus Testimonial "I chose to come to Notre Dame for a high-quality education, but I’ll be forever impacted by the sense of community and family that I built along the way."
Student Perspective "My peers’ willingness to share their lived experiences in the classroom has created a rich learning opportunity. It is this exposure to diversity that I am incredibly grateful for."
Alumnus Testimonial "I had the opportunity to lead the Black Graduates in Management Club in my first year. In addition to working closely with Mendoza personnel to work on the college’s diversity, inclusion and collaboration goals, I was able to hone the management and leadership skills that come with running a student organization."
