KEOUGH HALL WELCOME WEEKEND PACKET CLASS OF 2022 (AVAILABLE ONLINE: ROOS.ND.EDU) 2 WELCOME TO KEOUGH HALL A MESSAGE FROM THE WELCOME WEEKEND CAPTAINS To our newest brothers of Keough Hall, First and foremost, allow me to congratulate you for your acceptance to the greatest university on earth and extend you a warm welcome to your new home. I can’t fathom how excited I am to be able to meet each and every one of you in the fall. We here as a residential community here at Keough are beyond honored to have you join our ranks come August. For now, enjoy your summer and get ready for the greatest four years of your life. Before I get any further, my name is Zack Htun, and I am a senior Finance major with a minor in Actuarial Science and Theology. Like my fellow Captain, Nick, my passion for this community has brought me back for a fourth year in a row in the same section, 4A. I’m originally from Akron, OH, hometown of Lebron James, Goodyear Tires, and a river that caught on fire back in the 60s (charming, isn’t it?). At my time here at ND, I’ve been involved as a member of the Leprechaun Legion Board, a student-run athletic marketing association that aims to generate unforgettable in-game experiences as well as produce some pretty sweet merch. Last summer, I worked on campus as a Mentor-in-Faith for Notre Dame Vision, a summer youth conference that welcomes over 1000 high school students each year to spend a week at ND and explore their faith. Other fun facts about me: I’ve studied abroad in Japan, play the guitar, hate watermelon flavored candy, and still have never learned how to ride a bike. When you finally make the trek over during August, you’ll come to find a unique aspect about our dorms. Each and every one of them carries with them honored traditions that drive the spirit of each of their residents; it’s that which what makes Keough Hall more than just a dorm, but rather a place many can truly call home. Granted, being randomly placed into a dorm with someone you’ve never met before may warrant some concern. Rest assured, it’s our responsibility to make sure your transition from high school to college goes without a hitch. You’ll come to realize in the coming days just how special Notre Dame is and even more so how Keough Hall serves as a fundamental piece in the puzzle. Whether it’s the joy shared from racing chariots (that we build ourselves of course), the warm aroma of Keough Kitch pizza, or the constant stream of laughter you’ll hear down the halls at any point in the day, many different elements go into making the men of Keough Hall embody its everlasting motto: brothers, scholars, and champions. You’ll soon come to understand just how important those three words go into defining what we here at Keough Hall strive to achieve. In the spirit of that motto, we’ve planned an equally incredible Welcome Weekend experience to help you become acclimated to campus life here at the University of Notre Dame. Get ready to stuff your face at the West Quad Cookout, brush ​ ​ up on your ice skating skills, and bust a move under the lights of Domerfest. There’s so much more waiting in store! ​ ​ ​ ​ Needless to say, Nick and I are more than ecstatic to get the chance to meet you and the rest of your fellow first-year class in the fall! If you flip through the following pages of this booklet, you’ll find useful information regarding the Welcome Weekend process as well as bios from the rest of our team (take the chance to learn more about them!). They’re a fantastic group of guys who’ve been individually selected to lead the charge with every step you need. To close it off, here’s a quick list of tips for some Welcome Weekend success: 1. Be open. Don’t be hesitant to ever reach out to any members of the Welcome Weekend staff or especially your fellow ​ classmates during this time. After all, this is the time you’ll make some of the greatest friends you’ll have for life. 2. Be ready. This will be a busy weekend! Your schedule will be jam packed with tons of fun activities. At the same ​ time... 3. Be still. Don’t be too much in a rush that you’ll miss out on what’s in front of you currently. Take the time to enjoy ​ yourself! It’s an absolute pleasure for all of us here in Marilyn M. Keough Hall to be able to welcome some fresh new faces into our midsts and kick off another fantastic year here at the University of Notre Dame. If you or your family have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to shoot me a text or call at (330) 618-3133. Be sure to join the both the affiliated Notre Dame Class ​ of 2022 and Keough Hall Class of 2022 on Facebook, follow us on Instagram @keough_hall, or visit our website: roos.nd.edu. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Now, take a deep breath. Yes this is all for real. Welcome home. Zack Htun 3 WELCOME TO KEOUGH HALL A MESSAGE FROM THE WELCOME WEEKEND CAPTAINS Newest Brothers of Keough Hall, Welcome to the University of Notre Dame and to the best four years of your life. First of all, congratulations on being accepted to the University and for choosing ND as your home for the coming years. We are honored to have you join our community and excited for the stories, talents, and blessings you will bring along with you from all across the country and the world. Getting accepted here is no small accomplishment, and I encourage you to celebrate your high school achievements and enjoy the summer. My name is Nick Gabriele and I am a senior studying Economics and Spanish. I’ll be living in 1A Keough Hall for the fourth year in a row, where I am a proud Beastchief to the end. I hail from Phoenixville, PA and am a proud older brother to five. I have participated in the ISSLP here at Notre Dame, where I spent a summer as a missionary and teacher in Honduras. Last year, I led over 1000 Notre Dame students in Washington, D.C. on the Right to Life Club’s annual March for Life trip. I am a manager at NDlistens, where I oversee sixty ambassadors who seek to bridge the gap between alumni, students, and development. I also founded a group called Consulting Connect which seeks to help more students prepare for careers in consulting. As you prepare this summer to make the transition to your new home, we hope that the information in this packet will broaden your understanding of your future home. Notre Dame is special because it invests in your residence community in a way no other top academic institution is able to. When you arrive here on campus, you’ll quickly notice that our residence halls are the center of student life here. Being placed randomly into a rooming situation may seem worrisome, but it is exactly this which allows wonderful friendships to blossom and diversity of backgrounds to be shared in a way which would never be possible. The residence hall is the fundamental unit of the Notre Dame experience: a place where students across all grade levels live, pray, learn, play, and grow together. Everyone coming to Notre Dame has the luxury of this incredible living system. Few are lucky enough to join the Keough Hall community. Congratulations on hitting the residence hall lottery. You’ll quickly learn that Marilyn M. Keough Hall is an extraordinary community of passionate, caring, driven, interesting, and loving men who will quickly become much more than friends. Within months or even weeks, you will call many of the seniors, juniors, sophomores, and first years in Keough your brothers. You’ll be entering a dorm rich with both tradition and air conditioning, a combination few can boast. We look forward to introducing you to everything which makes this community so special, including Chariot Week, Sunday Mass and Wednesday Root Beer Float Mass, and section football, among many others. It is an extraordinary privilege to be one of the first faces you’ll encounter when you step on campus for Welcome Weekend. Zack, myself, and our incredible team have planned four days of fun events to help you transition into your new home. I feel honored to be able to be one of the first to welcome you, hear your stories, and help to make this place feel like home. We hope this packet will help you as you prepare for your new life in Keough Hall. If you have Facebook, joining the groups Notre Dame Class of 2022 and Keough Hall Class of 2022 should also be of ​ ​ ​ ​ great value to you. If you or your family have any worries whatsoever as you prepare over the summer to transition to life at Notre Dame, please do not hesitate to call or text me at 610-331-1378. You can also shoot me an email at [email protected]. ​ ​ See you in August! In Marilyn, Nick Gabriele 4 WELCOME TO KEOUGH HALL A WELCOME FROM THE RECTOR 100 Keough Hall, Notre Dame, 46556 • [email protected] • 574-631-4945 ​ ​ To the Newest Members of Keough Hall, Congratulations on your acceptance to the University of Notre Dame and on being assigned to live in Keough Hall! We are thrilled to welcome you to our community and hope that it will soon feel like home.

    Notre Dame Athletics Department

    NOTRE DAME WELCOME TO NOTRE DAME The interior of the golden-domed Main Building on the Notre Dame campus was closed for the 1997-99 academic years as it underwent a renovation. The facility was rededicated in ceremonies in August of ’99. It also underwent a $5 million exterior renovation, which included the cleaning and repair of the 4.2 million bricks of the facility, in 1996. The University of Notre Dame decided, however, was precisely the type of institution Notre Dame would become. How could this small Midwestern school without endowment and without ranks of well-to-do alumni hope to compete with firmly established private universities and public-sup- ported state institutions? As in Sorin’s day, the fact that the University pursued this lofty and ambitious vision of its future was testimony to the faith of its leaders — leaders such as Father John Zahm, C.S.C. As Schlereth describes it: “Zahm… envisioned Notre Dame as potentially ‘the intellectual center of the American West’; an institu- tion with large undergraduate, graduate, and profes- sional schools equipped with laboratories, libraries, and research facilities; Notre Dame should strive to become the University that its charter claimed it was.” Zahm was not without evidence to support his faith in Notre Dame’s potential. On this campus in 1899, Jerome Green, a young Notre Dame scientist, became Notre Dame’s founding can perhaps best be charac- University’s academic offerings.
