He also spent several years teaching the course “Border Issues,” which focused on immigration and participation in humanitarian service efforts for migrants. Jim models selfless behavior daily.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD In recognition of breakthrough initiatives, extraordinary innovations, and significant contributions to the University’s long-term success.

Ian Lightcap Senior Scientist, Sustainable Energy Initiative

Ian Lightcap, senior scientist at the Sustainable Energy Initiative, manages the Materials Characterization Facility (MCF) of the Center for Sustainable Energy at Notre Dame (ND Energy). In 2010 the University funded the Sustainable Energy Initiative, which included a substantial investment ($2.5 million) in equipment and renovations to create the Core MCF. The facility was created in 2011 with a variety of equipment purchased and installed. During the initial two years of operation, considerable user dissatisfaction developed, and despite efforts of the leadership team, the MCF floundered with a small, dissatisfied user base. Simply stated, the MCF was nowhere near achieving a sufficient user base for sustainability and growth, putting the University’s investment at significant risk. Since Ian began managing the MCF in 2013, two major pieces of equipment have been added. The equipment, along with the fact that faculty seek to place major equipment in the facility under Ian’s management, attests to their trust and respect of his management abilities. The list of equipment within the facility continues to grow, and the user base expands. This success has not only increased the capacity for high-quality research at Notre Dame, but it has created a cost- recovery center through user fees. Ian’s work is commensurate with the values of the University in all respects.

2016–PHOTOS BY MATT CASHORE AND BARBARA JOHNSTON–

At the University’s 171st Commencement Ceremony May 15 (an unseasonably chilly spring morning), degrees were conferred on 2,163 Notre Dame undergraduates.

The Class of 2016, Dempsey said, leaves “Our Lady’s University with everything you need to be leaders of consequence wherever life takes you … I challenge you to make each other proud in the future as you have in the past.”

NOTRE DAME / VATICAN LIBRARY COLLABORATION MATT CASHORE MATT In a ceremony held Monday, May 9, President Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., met with Archbishop Jean-Louis Bruguès, O.P., archivist and librarian of the Holy Roman Church, to sign a memorandum of understanding, formalizing a unique agreement of collaboration and exchange between the University and the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, or Vatican Library. In remarks preceding the signing, Father Jenkins spoke of his delight in beginning to work with his longstanding friend, Archbishop Bruguès, who had been the secretary of the Congregation for Catholic Education when the two first met. At left, Father Jenkins presented to Archbishop Bruguès an engraving of Notre Dame’s Main Building above a replica of the letter by which Notre Dame’s founder, Rev. Edward Sorin, C.S.C., established the Notre Dame Archives. Archbishop Bruguès presented Father Jenkins with the latest publication of the Vatican Library, a collection of drawings by the baroque artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini. “The collaboration will obviously provide a wonderful resource for our scholars and our students,” Father Jenkins said, “but at a deeper level, it joins our mission to foster learning and faith with a place that is such an icon of the Church’s commitment to see the harmony between the two.”
