The travel and tourism industry—including but not limited to transportation, lodging, recreation and entertainment, food and beverage, meetings, conferences and business events, travel advisors, destination marketers—is comprised of businesses of all sizes, but the vast majority, 83%, are small businesses. Together we are grappling with the immediate and devastating impact of the current health crisis. Furloughs of American travel workers are happening right now. Travel to and within the United States has essentially ground to a stop due to the actions needed to halt the spread of coronavirus. Aggressive financial relief is needed immediately. Taking care of our employees will always be our top priority, but the hard fact is we cannot continue supporting them through this disaster without relief. To that end, we greatly appreciate and strongly support provisions in the ‘‘Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act’’ that provide: • $300 billion for enhanced Small Business Administration (SBA) loans distributed through an expedited process and can be partially forgiven for employee retention; and • Tax relief to mitigate economic losses, including deferral of tax liability, extension of the Net Operating Loss deduction, and delay of estimated tax payments.

The very first line of this statement reminds us that our primary commitment is to educate our young women "for responsible living in a global society." It is increasingly critical that Notre Dame young women learn how the larger world works, and that their education and faith will provide guidance for their understanding of the crucial and complicated issues of the day. Just as Saint Julie Billiart educated her students for their futures in post-revolutionary France, we need to ensure that our students are prepared to become citizens of this world. Our goals are the same: to teach our young women to become discerning, thoughtful, compassionate and courageous. In this issue of Visions you will learn about the inauguration of a foreign exchange program with a school in Spain and the Notre Dame community's compassionate response to the tragedy in Haiti, two examples of our girls’ reach well beyond the gates in Villanova. You will be proud of these young women! Finally, I invite you to read the Academy’s new Strategic Plan: Vision, Values & Promise .

  • 1 the Best of Philadelphia
    1 The Best of Philadelphia Cliché-sounding statement number one: Philadelphia is a lovely city. I live here, in a tiny fifth-floor walk-up studio on 8th Street, between Pine and Lombard. When I look out my back window, I can see the steeple of the old Pine Street church George Washington attended. Beyond the steeple are shiny-windowed high-rise apart- ments. Beyond them are blipping lights of planes coasting over the Delaware River into Philadelphia International Airport. The view from the front of my apartment is of 19th- century rooftops, rising skyscrapers—and a single roof deck with a pair of sunbathing poodles. The nation’s oldest hospital is a half a block from my home: I pass it every time I head out to shop in Old City, or to work in my office near Rittenhouse Square. Both are about a 15-minute walk, provided I don’t stop in any of the dozen or so amazing little cafes along the way. About once a week, folks passing my apartment ask for directions to Pat’s and Geno’s, South Philly’s famous cheesesteak stands. These tiny details of my daily life make me hometown proud (cliché number two). To me, a reformed suburbanite, Philadelphia is the perfect American city. I love that it sur- rounds me with some of our country’s most important historic monuments. I love that its buildings are a blend of the extremely old and the supernew. I love the mistakenly planted gingko trees, the Rocky footprints at the top of the art museum steps (although I’m not sure about the statue), the fresh mozzarella cheese at Claudio’s in the Italian Market, New Year’s Day’s debauched Two Street party after the annual Mummer’s Parade (which I also love).

    Chad Rosenthal Chad Rosenthal, a self-taught chef, got his first taste of cooking at just 5 years old, and he soon became passionate about all things food. As a child, he put on weekly cooking shows for his family and is now looking to make that childhood dream a reality. A father of two, Chad has won several barbecue competitions and eats, breathes, sleeps all things barbecue. Chad competed in the ninth season of Food Network Star in 2013. He previously ran, Rosey’s BBQ, and opened his first restaurant, The Lucky Well, a barbecue/comfort food and whiskey bar in the Philadelphia area in 2013. With comparisons to Guy Fieri, Chad stresses that he’s a cook, not a chef. In his free time, Chad serves on the local advisory committee for The Culinary Arts Institute. Chip Roman Chef Roman is one of Philadelphia’s most talented chefs. Schooled at Drexel University before working in some of the city’s most prestigious kitchens including Le Bec Fin and Vetri, he first set out on his own with Charles Roman Catering, which he in 2004. In the years since, Chef Roman has made his mark on the Philadelphia culinary scene. Blackfish, opened in 2006, holds 3 Bells from the Philadelphia Inquirer and earned the number one spot in Philadelphia magazine’s 2011 “50 Best Restaurants” issue. Mica, opened in March of 2011, also holds 3 Bells from the Philadelphia Inquirer and was named by GQ magazine as one of the “10 Best Restaurants 2012”.
