  • An unexpected dream

    "... While helping navigate through the real estate crash of 2008 and raising five young children, I awoke from a dream to write a book.  As I was not a writer nor a theologian, I asked God for a stronger sign."

  • The trip of a lifetime

    "... . I was the No. 1 junior tennis player in Ireland at the time and my Dad and I were looking at the best option for me to pursue my academic and athletic career. Ultimately, Notre Dame was the obvious choice for me, not because of the 'Fighting Irish' nickname, but because once I set foot on campus and experienced everything the campus had to offer over a 48-hour period, I knew it was the only fit for me."

    Barry King (BBA '07)
