Sacred Heart of , Photo by student intern Mary McGraw

IN 1850,

the first international student arrived on Notre Dame’s campus from Mexico. In the decades that followed, an influx of more than 100 students from Canada, Cuba, , Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Panama and Poland would enrich and diversify the campus. During this time, a significant majority of international students came from Mexico, largely due to the efforts of Rev. John Zahm, C.S.C., and the “Zahm Special” rail car. Leased by the University in the 1880s, the train car would take Zahm as far south as Chihuahua, Mexico, to pick up students and provide them transportation to campus. MISSION Advance Notre Dame through international education, research, and engagement worldwide.

VISION Called by Notre Dame’s mission, ensure that we flourish as a global university.

NOTRE DAME INTERNATIONAL

“The struggle to be a great Catholic university in a world that has become both increasingly secu- lar and more radically religious has placed Notre Dame in a unique position at the heart of the most complex issues facing our society. We have not just an opportunity, but a duty to think and speak and act in ways that will guide, inspire, and heal— not just for followers of the Catholic faith, but for all our neighbors in the nation and the world... The world needs a university that graduates men and women who are not only capable and knowl- edgeable, but who accept their responsibility to serve others—especially those in greatest need.”
