HistoryThe University of Notre Dame du Lac •was founded in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin. Adjacent to South Bend, Ind., and nestled next to Saint Mary’s and Saint Joseph’s Lakes, the University was started with $310 in cash and three log buildings in disrepair.

Notre Dame would establish many •firsts for Catholic institutions of higher learning, including the first Catholic law school, the first Catholic engineering school and the first student residence with private rooms, Sorin Hall.

AcademicsThe University is organized into four •colleges - Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering and the Mendoza College of Business - the School of Architecture, the Law School, the Graduate School, six major research institutes, more than 40 centers and special programs and the University library system.

Notre Dame is rated among the nation’s •top 25 institutions of higher learning in surveys conducted by U.S. News and World Report, Princeton Review, Time, Kiplinger’s, and Kaplan/Newsweek.

Notre Dame ranks fifth in a listing of •“dream schools” in a survey of parents by the Princeton Review. The top five are Princeton, Stanford, Harvard, New York University and Notre Dame.

Notre Dame is among a select group of •schools that ranks in the top 25 on the U.S. News & World Report survey of the nation’s top colleges and in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Directors’ Cup for overall success in athletics.

StudentsGraduate and undergraduate students •at the University come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries worldwide.

Notre Dame’s graduation rate of 95 •percent is exceeded by only Harvard and Princeton.

Notre Dame’s 98 percent retention rate •between the freshman and sophomore years is among the highest in the country, thanks in large part to the University’s unique First Year of Studies Program.

Notre Dame has one of the highest •undergraduate residential concentrations of any national university, with 80 percent of its students living in 27 residence halls.

The medical school acceptance rate of •the University’s preprofessional studies graduates is 80 percent, almost twice the national average.

Notre Dame ranks first among Catholic •universities in the number of doctorates earned by its undergraduate alumni - a record compiled over some 85 years.

ServiceCommunity service is a hallmark of •Notre Dame. About 80 percent of Notre Dame students engage in some form of voluntary community service during their years at the University, and at least 10 percent devote a year or more after graduation to service in the United States and around the world.

The University’s • Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) annually sends 180 recent graduates to teach in some 100 understaffed Catholic schools in the southern, southeastern and southwestern United States and in South Bend. A national model, ACE has received the Higher Education Award from the Corporation for National Service for leadership in using national service resources through AmeriCorps.

AlumniThe University’s network of 270 alumni •clubs -- including 60 international clubs -- is the most extensive in higher education.

With graduates renowned for their •loyalty and generosity, Notre Dame annually ranks among the top five in percentage of alumni who contribute to the University.

In recent years, Notre Dame alumni have •won a Nobel Prize in medicine, a Pulitzer Prize in journalism, and an Emmy Award for contributions to television technology.

Exceptional EducationSince its founding, Notre Dame has stressed mixing academics with

faith and has done so while becoming one of the top institutions of higher learning in the nation. Featuring five undergraduate colleges (Arts and Letters, Science, Architecture, Engineering and Business), the First Year of Studies, the Graduate School and the Law School, the University finds itself attracting some of the top students and faculty in the country. Students also participate in cutting edge research and diverse study abroad opportunities, enabling Notre Dame to offer one of the top academic experiences in the world.

First Year of StudiesThe First Year of Studies program provides all first-year students with

the opportunity to gain a wide-ranging liberal arts background before choosing a specific major within Notre Dame’s five undergraduate col-leges. A progressive advising program for all student-athletes enables the University to follow the academic progress of all student-athletes on a regular basis. Key to the program is the fact that it is not run by the athletics department but by the University administration.

Student-Athlete SuccessNotre Dame expects the best out of its student-athletes just as it

does of every other student on campus. Notre Dame has had unprec-edented academic success among its athletes, consistently ranking among the top NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision schools in graduation rates and academic progress. With more Academic All-Americans than any other school since 2000, Irish athletes have shown themselves ca-pable of performing in the classroom while competing on the field at an elite level.

14Programs honored by the NCAA for Academic Progress Rate scores in 2009, more than any other of the 119 Football Bowl Subdivision uni-versities. The APR measures multi-year academic success by team members.

9Irish teams which recorded a perfect score of 1,000 in the NCAA’s 2009 Academic Progress Rate report, more than any other Football Bowl Subdivision institution. Notre Dame also had 11 additional programs with scores of 990 or bet-ter and all 26 varsity teams placed above NCAA standards.

19Programs which achieved a perfect 100 percent graduation rate according to the NCAA’s Gradu-ation Success Rate, second most among Football Bowl Subdivision institutions.

100Federal graduation rate percent achieved by nine Irish teams, according to the latest NCAA figures. Notre Dame had 11 teams ranked first in their respective sport.

While no athlete plans on an injury, Notre Dame is prepared with one of the top sports medicine teams in the country to help keep its athletes fit and ready to compete. With training facilities in the Joyce Center, Notre Dame Stadium and the Guglielmino Athletics Complex, the training staff is always there to care for athletes. With approximate-ly 200 years combined experience on the full-time staff, Notre Dame also boasts a partnership with the renowned South Bend Orthopae-dics to provide first-class care.

The task of keeping athletes in top physical condition is up to the strength & conditioning staff. The strength and conditioning staff knows the demands of competing on an elite level and is committed to ensuring Irish athletes are always in the best possible condition. From weight lifting to wind sprints and from warming up to cooling down, the strength and conditioning staff has every aspect covered.

10Full-time employees working with Irish varsity athletes. The strength and conditioning staff in-cludes director Ruben Mendoza, eight coaches, one nutritionist and one intern.

When Father Edward F. Sorin started his school in the northern In-diana wilderness, he had only $300, three log buildings badly in need of repair and a far-sighted vision of establishing a liberal arts school to meet the growing educational needs of the frontier. He dreamed of building a great university, and in 1842, he founded the University of Notre Dame du Lac.

Over the years, the University of Notre Dame du Lac would evolve into a preeminent place for Catholic thought. While becoming one of the top undergraduate institutions in the country, Notre Dame has also been at the cutting edge of research, including such innovations as the transmission of wireless messages and the development of syn-thetic rubber. The University also has stressed residential life, with four of five students living on campus. Students come to Notre Dame not only to learn how to think, but to learn how to live, keeping faith with the vision of Father Sorin.

1842The University of Notre Dame was founded by Rev. Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C., as an independent, national Catholic university adjacent to South Bend, Ind., on St. Mary’s and St. Joseph’s Lakes.

Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C, took office as the 17th president of the University of Notre Dame on July 1, 2005. He was elected by the Uni-versity’s Board of Trustees to a five-year term April 30, 2004.

An associate professor of philosophy and member of Notre Dame’s faculty since 1990, Father Jenkins had served as a vice president and associate provost at the University from July 2000 until becoming president.

Prior to his service in the provost’s office, Father Jenkins had been religious superior of the Holy Cross priests and brothers at Notre Dame for three years. As religious superior, he was a Fellow and Trustee of the University.

Father Jenkins specializes in the areas of ancient philosophy, medieval phi-losophy and the philosophy of religion. He is the author of Knowledge and Faith in Thomas Aquinas, published by Cam-bridge University Press in 1997.

Father Jenkins earned degrees in phi-losophy from Oxford University in 1987 and 1989. He earned his master of divin-ity degree and licentiate in sacred theol-ogy from the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, Calif., in 1988. Prior to entering the Congregation of Holy Cross, he earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in philoso-phy from Notre Dame in 1976 and 1978, re-spectively.

Father Jenkins was ordained a priest in Notre Dame’s Basilica of the Sacred Heart in 1983. He served as director of the Old College program for Notre Dame undergraduate candidates for the Congregation of Holy Cross from 1991 to 1993.

Jack SwarbrickDirector of Athletics

John B. “Jack” Swarbrick Jr., a University of Notre Dame graduate who has risen to national prominence as a lawyer, consultant, and ex-ecutive in the collegiate and Olympic sports industries, is in his second year as director of athletics at his alma mater.

His first year on campus in 2008-09 featured the announcement of plans for a new, free-standing ice hockey arena; creation of an athletic administrative division to enhance athletic performance — plus 35 All-Americans, eight Academic All-Americans and four NCAA post-graduate Scholarship winners.

Notre Dame teams in 2008-09 finished as the NCAA runner-up in both women’s soccer (26-1, led by Hermann Trophy winner Kerri Hanks) and fencing (men 33-0, women 32-2), while the women’s tennis squad advanced to the NCAA semifinals. The Irish men’s soccer squad was seeded 14th in the NCAA bracket, while the hockey team ranked fourth in the final poll after winning CCHA regular-season and postseason crowns. Men’s lacrosse finished unbeaten in the regular season (and second in the final poll) -- and women’s lacrosse won its first BIG EAST title.

Notre Dame also ranked number one in the country (among Football Bowl Subdivision schools) in the most recent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) numbers with a 98 for all student-athletes. The 2009 Academic Progress Rate (APR) statistics included more perfect 1,000 scores by Irish teams (nine) than by any other FBS institution.

Raised in Yonkers, N.Y., and Bloomington, Ind., Swarbrick is a 1976 magna cum laude graduate of Notre Dame with a bachelor’s degree in economics. Upon graduating from Stanford University Law School in 1980, he returned to Indiana to accept a position as an associate in the Indianapolis law firm Baker & Daniels. He was made partner in 1987 and spent 28 years overall with the firm.

As a member of the Indiana Sports Corporation, including the chairmanship from 1992 to 2001, Swarbrick’s leadership efforts resulted in the city earning the bid to host the 2012 Su-per Bowl; becoming the home of the NCAA headquarters; and hosting the 1987 Pan American Games, the 1991 World Gym-nastics Championships, NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours, and other college championship competitions plus a wide array of national and world championships in the Olympic sports.

He served as sports commissioner of the 1982 U.S. Olympic Festival in Indianapolis, competition director of the ’87 Pan American Games, and chairman of the ’91 World Gymnastics Championships. Swarbrick has served as general counsel for nu-merous national governing bodies of Olympic sports, including USA Gymnastics and USRowing.

Born March 19, 1954, Swarbrick and his wife Kimberly are the parents of four children: Kate, a senior at Saint Louis University; Connor, a junior at Wake Forest University; Cal, a senior in high school; and Christopher, a high school junior.

In the midst of a master plan that will touch nearly every varsity team, Notre Dame has shown its commitment to providing athletes with the best possible facilities to help them compete on a national level. From new facilities to the extensive renovation of existing ones, Notre Dame is committed to giving Irish athletes every edge imagin-able. The plan will result in a drastically altered footprint on the south-east corner of campus, creating an athletics quad that will give every Irish athlete a place they will be proud to call home.

3New athletics facilities which will open on cam-pus during the 2009-10 year. Alumni Stadium will be the new home for men’s and women’s soccer; Purcell Pavilion renovation and expansion of the Joyce Center arena will be completed; and Arlot-ta Family Stadium will open as the new home for the men’s and women’s lacrosse teams.

New facilities which have opened their doors in the past five years, including the Guglielmino Athletics Complex (housing football offices and locker room, a new weight room and new sports medicine facilities), the LaBar Practice Complex (featuring two Field Turf fields and one natural grass field) and Melissa Cook Stadium (home of the Irish softball team).

26.3Million dollars being spent on Purcell Pavilion for additions and renovations to the Joyce Center arena. Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center will feature a three-story addition with club seating, a hospitality area, additional area for restrooms and concessions, as well as new space for the Varsity Shop and the Notre Dame ticket office.

4Facilities which are still on the master plan to create a comprehensive athletic quad. The track and field teams, the hockey program, the tennis squads and the rowing team all will receive new facilities in the near future.

In addition to academic success, Notre Dame emphasizes giving back to the community as well. Notre Dame athletes have participated in countless service projects through the years, benefiting the Notre Dame and South Bend communities and beyond. Team and individual projects have allowed Irish athletes to see the positive impact they have in the lives of others and learn how to use their talents to benefit those in their communities.

5,500Hours of community service completed by Notre Dame student-athletes during the 2008-09 school year.

686Community service hours completed by the women’s swimming team, tops among Irish pro-grams in 2008-09. The team assisted with pro-grams including the Domer Run, Irish Aquatics, Relay for Life and Fit for Fun, among others.

Located adjacent to South Bend, Ind., the University of Notre Dame has always acknowledged its place in a greater community. Sitting be-tween South Bend and Mishawaka in northern Indiana, Notre Dame has benefited the area in ways unimaginable, especially when it comes to Notre Dame football weekends. It is estimated that the average football weekend brings approximately $6.2 million dollars to the sur-rounding community. In addition to the financial aspect, Notre Dame feels truly invested in the surrounding community, with students par-ticipating in countless service projects to benefit the greater South Bend area.

make it a three-peat,

seeking a third

consecutive BIG EAST

title in 2010. This

season the Irish boast

one of the fastest and

deepest rosters in

program history.

SeasonPreview

20 U N I V E R S I T Y O F N O T R E D A M E ®

Already an established force in the BIGEAST Conference by virtue of four team titlesand a pair of runner-up finishes over the last sixseasons, the Notre Dame men’s swimming anddiving program looks ahead to the 2009-10campaign with an even loftier goal – the NCAAChampionships.Entering his 25th season at the helm of the

Irish program, head coach Tim Welsh and hisveteran staff have constructed a program lacedwith exceptional talent across the board thatshould put Notre Dame on the doorstep – andlikely into – the national meet hosted by OhioState this spring.“This is an exciting year ahead. We are big,

we’re young, we’re looking at a very excitingschedule and we hope to be fast,” Welsh said.“We love the energy that a large freshmen classbrings to the program, and we have our fingerscrossed that we learn all the right things at theright time.“This is certainly the deepest team we have

ever had and we need this group to take a giantstep. If the group takes a giant step, then theseason we anticipate having gets a little closerto actually happening. Last year we started witha couple of big holes due to injuries. But at thispoint we are healthy, excited and ready to go.”Senior captain John Lytle, who has a hand in

seven school records, is one of seven seniorswithout an appearance in the NCAAChampionships. The Irish return a combined 14BIG EAST title holders, with Lytle’s program-best 16 all-league accolades leading the wayinto a repeat effort in 2010.“As far as defending the BIG EAST title

goes, we don’t think in terms of defending itbut we do think in terms of winning it,” Welshsaid. “We definitely want to be in a positionwhere we are not swimming to prevent a loss,but swimming to create a victory. The way wefocus on it this goal is swimming fast enoughfor the points to take care of themselves. So inthe simplest of terms, it is all about improving,and I am sure that every team at the meetwould say that. But if we improve the way wewant to improve, and if we go fast at the righttime, we will be pleased with the results.”Lytle’s efforts on the freestyle end will be

flanked by seniors Andrew Hoffman, PatrickLloyd, David Anderson and Andrew Deters,with each having extensive championship expe-rience.

On the distance side it will be Deters, the2009 BIG EAST 1,650 Free champion, leadingthe charge. Deters will be joined in distanceevents by Ryan Belecanech, who placed third inthe 1,650 Free at last year’s league meet. StevenBrus, the 500 Free champion at the BIG EASTmeet, also returns to swim in a number ofevents.Fellow captain MacKenzie LeBlanc will

bring his versatility and five all-BIG EASTaccolades to the table along with diver CalebDunnichay’s know-how after earning a nationalchampionship with Auburn in 2007.

“If you look at some of our returning stu-dent-athletes, we return quite a few universityrecord holders,” said Welsh. “John Lytle is back,MacKenzie LeBlanc is back, Steven Brus isback, Andrew Deters is back, Andrew Hoffmanis back, Michael Sullivan is back. Three of fourmembers of last year’s 200, 400 and 800 FreeRelay teams return.”Add an incoming freshmen class tabbed as

the nation’s 14th best byCollegeSwimming.com to an already champi-onship program, and the Irish may have justthe right recipe for success in 2009-10.

The Next BIG StepDefending BIG EAST champions not only look to repeat, but advance to NCAAs

Senior John Lytle is locked in on an invitation to the 2010 NCAA Championships.

“It is a big, fast, exciting freshmen class,”Welsh said. “They are all USA Junior Nationallevel or above and they cover some of the gapswe had last year, particularly in the 200 IM andthe 100 Breast. Many of them have alreadynotched times that were competitive witheverything that we did last year. We think theyare a class that will make a big contribution toour program. On paper they are as fast of a classas we have ever had enter Notre Dame. Paperdoesn’t make you one second faster in the pool,so it all counts on what happens when we getin the water.”Kevin Overholt, the nation’s 24th-ranked

recruit, was one of the country’s top sprinterslast year and should add speed to the Irishrelays. Chris Johnson and Mason Weber havealready recorded times faster than any currentIrish breastroker. Tack on the likes of JohnMcGinley, Bill Bass, Jordan Berry and NewOrleans transfer Petar Petrovic, Serbia’s nationalchampion in the 50 Back in 2006, and NotreDame has the speed and depth to make a late-season run to the NCAAs.“We were thin in the 100 Breast last year, but

Joseph Raycroft had a phenomenal summer andraced faster long-course than he has before,which should help us this year. Chris Johnsonand Mason Weber both bring breaststrokespeed. When you add Kevin Overholt, JohnMcGinley and Bill Bass to our 200 Free mix, wecan go six or seven deep in that event at timesthat were faster than eighth place at last year’sBIG EAST meet. Swimmers in the 200 Free arelike baseball pitchers, you just can’t have toomany good ones.”Petrovic certainly adds speed to the back-

stroke events with Marshall Sherman, ThomasVan Volkenburg and Michael Sullivan also car-rying the load in those races.“Michael Sullivan has been swimming lights

out for us,” Welsh said. “We’ll also count onhim in the individual medleys, and those eventsare plugged with depth for us.”LeBlanc will try to better his 200 Fly record

along with Berry, Bass, Wesley Mullins andStefan Prendergast.Notre Dame dominated the diving portion of

last year’s league meet and returns everyone offthe board except for All-American MichaelBulfin who graduated last spring. Eric Lex,Wesley Villaflor and Dunnichay have eachearned all-league accolades throughout theircareers.“Everything we talked about since the end of

last year is in terms of giant steps,” Welsh said.“We have taken baby steps. We need a giantstep. We think we have underclassmen andupperclassmen with giant step capability. Notjust in the pool, but out of the pool. Our springgrade-point average ranked fifth in the nation,and we want to improve on that. We’ve won thelast two BIG EAST titles, and we’re shooting fora third.

“We’ve also been much more active in com-munity service. I think those types of things –like academics and service – help characterizethis program. What we are trying to do this yearis redefine what we consider normal for thisprogram and to do it in a giant step forwardway.”Notre Dame begins the season Oct. 9 by

hosting the Dennis Stark Relays. The Irish willhost seven meets throughout the year, includingfour in a three-week stretch in January, beforezeroing in on the program's fifth conferencecrown in six years."The 2009-10 schedule looks good for the

team this season. It's very challenging and thereare a lot of home meets, which we like," Welshsaid. "It is a very powerful schedule with someof the top finishers from last year's BIG EASTConference Championships as well as Purdue,Northwestern and Michigan State on the slate,all of which are much improved."Notre Dame plays host to Oakland (Oct. 23)

two weeks into the season and concludes thehome portion of the fall schedule with visitsfrom Cleveland State and Miami (Ohio) onOct. 31.Notre Dame then travels to West Lafayette

for a showdown with Big Ten powerhousePurdue (Nov. 6), before taking on BIG EASTfoe Pittsburgh on the road. The Irish havedefeated Pittsburgh in five straight dual meets,including a win over the 17th-ranked Panthersin 2004.The Irish conclude the fall portion of the

schedule with a trip to Columbus for the Ohio

State Invitational for the fourth consecutive sea-son. Notre Dame finished fourth in last year's12-team field.Northwestern (Jan. 9), Michigan State (Jan.

15) and Louisville (Jan. 16) come to town tobegin the second half of the season with theShamrock Invitational to follow on Jan. 29-30."The last two weeks of the schedule are

extremely important because we want to finishour season strong, and it will be challengingwith the strength of the schedule at that time ofthe year," Welsh said. "From the middle ofJanuary to the middle of February we better befast."The 2010 BIG EAST Conference Diving

Championships will take place Feb. 12-14 inPittsburgh, Pa., followed by the swimmingevents on Feb. 17-20.The Irish will take part in the Austin Grand

Prix (March 4-6), hosted by the University ofTexas, and the Boiler-Make-It Invitational inWest Lafayette (March 7) before the NCAAChampionships. Purdue will host the NCAAZone Diving Championships (March 12-13),and the NCAA Swimming and DivingChampionships will take place in Columbusfrom March 25-27.Notre Dame finished with a 7-6 dual meet

record last season before notching a thrillingwin in the final race of the 2009 BIG EASTChampionships to edge Louisville, 782.5-773,for the title. The Irish 400 Free Relay team ofLytle, Nosal, Hoffman and Danny Lutkusknocked off the Louisville squad - a seven-sec-ond favorite - to capture the team crown.

Junior captain Michael Sullivan will be a versatile force for the Irish throughout the 2009-10 season.

Coaching Staff

Head coach Tim Welsh and his staff have put

together one of the deepest rosters in

program history for the 2009-10 season.

Head Coach


Head Coach25th season

Providence ’66

Already one of the most respected coaches in thenation, Tim Welsh has taken the Notre Dame men’sswimming and diving program to unprecedented levelsand on the verge of becoming a national force. Under hisguidance, the Fighting Irish captured the program’s firstBIG EAST title in 2005 and repeated the feat in 2006,2008 and 2009. Notre Dame has sent competitors to theNCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in three ofthe past five seasons with diver Michael Bulfin earningthe program’s first All-America honor in 2008.Welsh is not unaccustomed to success, as student-ath-

letes and teams under his care have exceeded expecta-tions and broken barriers throughout his 31-year career asa head coach.Welsh’s squads have experienced great team success

over the years. In 1978 and 1979, he helped JohnsHopkins to back-to-back Division III national champi-onships, being named National Coach of the Year on thelatter occasion. In all, Welsh has coached 28 teams thathave claimed conference championships and 20 that havewon nine or more dual meets in a season.Since arriving at Notre Dame in 1985, Welsh has seen

his teams post a 294-160 (.648) dual-meet record, whilewinning 20 league titles (Midwestern Collegiate - 15,BIG EAST - 4, North Star - 1) and taking second placeon five occasions (MCC - 2, BIG EAST - 3). His student-athletes also have been accomplished, earning 14 invita-tions to the NCAA Championships, gaining All-Americahonors on four occasions and winning 22 BIG EASTevents. With a victory over St. Bonaventure on Jan. 29, 2005,

Welsh surpassed Dennis Stark’s mark of 167 career dual-meet victories at Notre Dame. Stark, the only other headcoach in Fighting Irish swimming and diving history, was

In the fall of 2004, Notre Dame appeared in theCSCAA dual meet rankings for the first time ever as theIrish debuted at No. 21. In 2005-06, the Irish climbed toNo. 18 in the rankings, which was a program-best markuntil the 2007-08 squad earned a No. 17 ranking.The 2004-05 season also witnessed Notre Dame’s first

NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships participantin the Welsh era, and just the second in the history of theprogram. Kegelman swam in the 100 Fly, 200 Fly and the200 IM at the NCAA Swimming and DivingChampionships in Minneapolis, Minn. The sophomorewas also one of six Notre Dame swimmers to take homeBIG EAST titles in 2004-05. For his team’s accomplish-ments, Welsh was named the BIG EAST Coach of theYear for the third time in six years.A key factor behind the success of the Fighting Irish

program during the 2004-05 season was senior FrankKrakowski. He left Notre Dame holding five Universityrecords, along with being a six-time all-BIG EAST per-former. Krakowski was also tabbed as a CSCAA All-Academic swimmer.The 2003-04 campaign provided a glimpse of the

bright future of Notre Dame men’s swimming and div-ing. The Irish faced their toughest schedule in school his-tory and responded by setting eight school records. NotreDame posted 584 points at the BIG EAST Championshipto finish as conference runner-up. Among the highlightsof that meet was the first-ever Irish 1-2 finish in the meet,as Jamie Lutkus and David Moisan topped the field in the400-yard individual medley. Notre Dame also posted runner-up finishes in the

1999 and 2000 BIG EAST Championships. The Irishdelivered a school-record time in 1999 to win the finalevent of the meet, the 400 Free Relay, to edge Syracuseby one point for second place. Notre Dame won its firstthree conference titles that year en route to its best-everfinish. Welsh was named the BIG EAST Coach of theYear, capping a season in which the Irish broke 16 of 19University records. Notre Dame reset eight varsity records in 1999-2000

in finishing second in the BIG EAST Championships onceagain.Other highlights of Welsh’s tenure as men’s coach at

Notre Dame are 10 seasons with 10 or more dual-meetvictories, including a 12-1 mark in 1989-90, the bestrecord in school history. The Irish also were 11-1 in 1997-98 and set the school record for wins in a season in both1987-88 and 1990-91 with identical 13-3 marks.

at the helm of the program from1958 until Welsh took over in1985. The most apparent reality of

the Welsh era at Notre Dame isthe almost every-day occurrencethat breaking University recordshas become. In his tenure, Welshhas seen his student-athletesbreak the Notre Dame record inevery event -- on both the men’sand women’s sides -- on multipleoccasions. In all, more than 200University records have been setunder Welsh’s tutelage, with thebar continuing to be raised eachseason. The Irish established 12marks during the 2004-05 and2008-09 seasons alone and sevenmore in 2005-06, adding eightmore in 2007-08. In the lists ofthe top 10 performers in eachswimming event in Notre Damemen’s history, no names remainfrom the pre-Welsh era.The Irish swimming and div-

ing program entered a new eraunder Welsh, as well. In his first17 years at Notre Dame, themen’s swimming and diving team had little access toscholarship aide. The Notre Dame Athletic Departmentdecided in December 2002 to fully fund all of its varsitysports, giving the Irish a tool with which to compete withthe best schools in the nation. Working now with a fullyfunded program, Welsh has welcomed some of the pro-gram’s top freshman classes in recent years.CollegeSwimming.com tabbed the incoming class for the2009-10 season the nation’s 14th best.Notre Dame has finished in the top four at the BIG

EAST Championships for 12 consecutive seasons, includ-ing three runner-up results (1999, 2000, 2004 and 2007).The Fighting Irish finally broke through and captured theprogram’s first BIG EAST title in 2005 by defeatingPittsburgh, the eight-time defending conference cham-pion, by 275 points. Increased expectations were placedon the Irish in 2005-06 and the squad delivered withanother BIG EAST title in dominating fashion, alsoaccomplishing the feat in 2007-08 and 2008-09.Rewriting of the record books has been a common

theme for Notre Dame under Welsh. All but two currentUniversity records have been set since 2004, and the Irishhave combined to reset 14 records over the past two sea-sons. After falling 4.5 points short of the BIG EAST title in

2006-07, Welsh revved up the engines and guided theIrish to championship runs in 2007-08 and 2008-09. Oneof the greatest races in Notre Dame history capped offthe 2009 league meet behind the efforts of that season’s400 Free Relay quartet: Danny Lutkus, Joshua Nosal, JohnLytle and Andrew Hoffman. A seven-second underdog tothe Louisville relay team heading into the final race of themeet, the foursome pulled off the upset in dramatic fash-ion to secure the program’s second consecutive leaguetitle. Twelve school records fell during that 2009 event.Coming off a BIG EAST title in 2005, a lot of expec-

tations were placed upon the 2005-06 team and theydelivered with a second straight league championship. TheFighting Irish claimed three event titles at the conferencemeet and produced 13 all-BIG EAST performers en routeto the 224.5-point victory over Pittsburgh and the rest ofthe 11-team field. A total of seven school records were setduring the season. Bulfin became just the third student-athlete in program history to qualify for the NCAASwimming and Diving Championships and the second inas many seasons, following swimmer Tim Kegelman, whodid so in 2005. Bulfin returned to the NCAAs in 2008and scored Notre Dame’s first points ever at the nationalmeet.

Theaward, given annually to a swimming or diving coach inthe high school, club or university ranks who, in the opin-ion of the International Swimming Hall of Fame, Inc.,and the College Swim Coaches Association, has done themost to spread joy and happiness in swimming. Welsh continued a career of world travel, as he took

his team to Ireland during the winter of the 2004-05 sea-son. Previously, he traveled to Bogota, Colombia, in thespring of 1985 as a clinician and instructor for SportsAmerica Program of the U.S. State Department and tookhis Irish squad to Portugal in the summer of 1991. Welshand the 1996-97 Irish ventured to Brazil over Christmasbreak for a nationally-televised meet featuring interna-tional Olympic swimmers. In 2008, the Irish trekked toPuerto Rico for the program’s annual winter training ses-sion.Welsh’s student-athletes have been traditionally strong

teams according to grade-point average), the Irishclaimed the top spot in the 1999 season and have been inthe top 10 eight times since 1990.

Championships by claiming stake in four of the top six posi-tions in both the 1- and 3-meter events.The 2005-06 season was one of the finest for men's diving

at Notre Dame. Bulfin became just the second diver in pro-

gram history to qualify for the NCAA Championships. Bulfinalso earned all-BIG EAST honors off the 1-meter board,while his teammate Stoner garnered all-conference honors inthe 3-meter competition. Both Bulfin and Stoner competedat the NCAA Zone C Diving Championships. Bulfin quali-fied for the NCAAs with his fourth-place showing off the 3-meter board at the Zone competition. He would also finishninth off the 1-meter board, while Stoner was 10th, after reg-istering a 17th-place showing in the 3-meter. The success ofhis diver's helped Caiming garner the BIG EAST ConferenceMen's Diving Coach of the Year Award for the fourth time.He also collected the honor in 1999, 2004 and 2005.In 2005, Stoner placed fifth at the BIG EAST

Championships off both boards and would go on to finish17th out of the 32-diver field at the NCAA Zone C DivingChampionships. That marked the top finish for an Irishrookie in 1-meter action in the meet since Andy Maggio was14th in 2000. Caiming, the first full-time diving coach in Notre Dame

history, recruited and developed three divers in the class of2003. The group, which went undefeated in 2001-02, was akey to Notre Dame’s dual-meet fortunes over a four-yearspan, and all three left among the best eight divers in schoolhistory on the 1-meter board.Maggio was the most dominant Irish men’s diver ever,

holding three of the five University diving records. In 2002,he finished fourth at the NCAA Zone Diving Meet, missingby just six points Notre Dame’s first berth to the NCAAMen’s Championships in 27 years.Joe Miller and Tong Xie, Caiming’s son, each delivered

career-best performances in their final seasons, a sign ofCaiming’s ability to help divers improve dramatically duringtheir time with him.Caiming also tutored 2001 graduate Herb Huesman

throughout his career, which ended with him as theholder of three varsity records.On the women's side, Caiming was responsible for

the development of Heather Mattingly and MeghanPerry-Eaton, the first two diving All-Americans inNotre Dame history.The last several seasons have been the most suc-

cessful in Irish women’s diving history, featuring sixBIG EAST titles, four All-America honors and fourBIG EAST Championships Most Outstanding Diverawards. Most recently, Natalie Stitt swept the 1- and 3-

meter events at the 2009 BIG EAST Championshipswhile earning the nod at the league’s top diver.Caiming, who was the league’s diving coach of the yearin 2009, led Stitt to her first NCAA Championshipsappearance later that season.In 2003-04, Perry-Eaton turned in the most impres-

sive campaign ever by an Irish diver, as she was beatenjust one time during the regular season before sweep-

ing the springboard events at the BIG EAST Championshipsby more than 40 points each en route to being tabbed themeet’s top diver. Perry-Eaton then became the first NotreDame diver ever to win a title at the NCAA Zone CChampionships, taking first off the 1-meter board. At theNCAA Championships, she delivered the highest-ever finishfor a Notre Dame swimmer or diver, taking third in thatevent, ending up just 3.30 points behind the national cham-pion and securing All-America honors. She followed that upwith two more conference titles (for a BIG EAST record fivein her career), her third conference diver-of-the-year award,and two more All-American honors. In 2002-03, Perry-Eaton became the first Notre Dame

diver -- and first non-University of Miami diver since 1996 -- to win a conference championship, placing first in the 1-meter competition. She also was second on the 3-meter boardand was named the BIG EAST’s top diver. Perry-Eaton thenqualified for the NCAA Championships, where she placedninth in the 1-meter event and 20th on the 3-meter board toearn honorable mention All-America honors.In 2001-02, Heather Mattingly became the first Irish diver

to earn All-America honors, finishing eighth in the 3-metercompetition at the NCAA Championships. Mattingly alsoearned honorable mention All-America honors on the 1-meter board, taking 12th. She was the first Notre Dame diverto qualify for the NCAAs in four consecutive years -- alsoearning honorable mention All-America in 2001 (13th in 3-meter) and 2000 (12th in 1-meter, 12th in 3-meter). Before coming to Notre Dame, Caiming was the head div-

ing coach for three years at the University of Toledo, earningMid-American Conference diving coach-of-the-year laurelsin each of his last two seasons. Prior to his stint with theRockets, Caiming served as an assistant coach for the 1991-92 season at Pittsburgh.Boasting a wealth of international experience on his

AssociateHead Coach


Matt Tallman is entering his ninth season at NotreDame and his fourth as associate head coach. Tallmanspent his first five campaigns serving as assistantcoach for the Fighting Irish before assuming his asso-ciate position in July 2006. His recruiting efforts haveproduced some of the top classes in the history of theprogram – including the 14th-best incoming class in2009-10 – which in turn has made Notre Dame afactor on the national scene. Tallman joined the Irish staff in 2001, shortly after

the Notre Dame Athletic Department announcedthat each of the University’s 26 varsity sports wouldreceive full funding. With increased scholarship aide,he has made the Irish competitive with the top pro-grams in the nation on the recruiting front by attract-ing some of the country’s top prep prospects.The efforts of Tallman have paid dividends in the

pool, as the Irish have broken over 40 Universityrecords over the last seven years. Tallman helped guide the Irish to their first BIG

EAST championship in 2005 and the Irish repeatedas champions in 2006, 2008 and 2009. Those threecampaigns were the most successful in the history ofNotre Dame swimming and diving, as the 2008 edi-tion of the Irish program set eight school records andpeaked at No. 17 in the CSCAA rankings.In the fall of 2004, Notre Dame appeared in the

CSCAA dual meet rankings for the firsttime ever by debuting at No. 21. In 2005-06,the Irish climbed to No. 18 in the rankings,which was then a program-best mark. Tallman has been a key in the growth of

the Irish program, and his first eight seasonshave seen a number of superlatives. In hisinaugural campaign, Notre Dame matchedthe third-highest win total in the history ofthe program, ending up 11-3 in dual meets.After failing to win their own Notre DameInvitational for the first time in four yearsthe season prior to Tallman’s arrival, thatmeet has seen five Irish victories, includingan impressive 2003 performance that fea-tured Notre Dame setting a (then) meetrecord for points scored and claiming a 710-point triumph over a talented second-place

Harvard team. The Irish have similarly been dominantin the Notre Dame/Dennis Stark Relays, setting all 11meet records since Tallman’s arrival. The 2003-04 sea-son also featured the Irish posting their highest-everpoint total in the BIG EAST Championships to thatpoint, en route to their first runner-up result in fouryears. Among the high points of that meet was NotreDame’s first-ever 1-2 finish in the meet, which tookplace in the 400 IM.Tallman has had a hand in mentoring 18 BIG

EAST champions and 14 individual Irish record hold-ers, including 2005 NCAA Championships participantTim Kegelman. In fact, Kegelman was the first NotreDame swimmer ever to make an appearance at thenational meet, swimming the 100 Fly, 200 Fly and 200IM. He was also a part of the 2004-05 team thateclipsed 12 school records, claimed four individual

BIG EAST titles and entered thenational rankings for the first time. In addition to recruiting, Tallman

assists head coach Tim Welsh in all facetsof the Irish swimming and diving pro-gram, including on-deck coaching andteaching, training, supervising drylandworkouts, and day-to-day operations.Prior to his stint at Notre Dame,

Tallman served as an assistant at theUniversity of Maryland in 2000-01. Hehelped the Terrapins send a school-record number of women’s qualifiers tothe NCAA Championships. Marylandpeaked at 16th in the national rankingsthat season, its highest listing in schoolhistory.Before his stop at Maryland, Tallman

spent two years as the head swimmingcoach at Indiana University ofPennsylvania. While at IUP, he wasselected as the Pennsylvania StateAthletic Conference Coach of the Yearin 1999 after helping the women’s teamto the PSAC title, ending ClarionUniversity’s 23-year stranglehold on thechampionship. He also helped the IUPwomen’s team to sixth- and seventh-place finishes at the NCAA Division IIchampionships. In his two seasons atIUP, the women’s squad was 18-0 in dualmeets.Fifteen IUP swimmers achieved All-

America honors under Tallman’s tutelagewhile 18 swimmers earned all-PSACaccolades and five student-athletes werenamed Academic All-Americans.

A 1997 graduate of The Catholic University ofAmerica, Tallman swam for four seasons and captured11 titles at the Capital Athletic ConferenceChampionships. He set school and conference recordsin the 100 and 200 Breast, along with the 200 and400 Medley Relays.Born Sept. 24, 1973, in Camden, N.J., Tallman,

who is also an accomplished cyclist, has a number ofNotre Dame connections. His father Dennis is a ’73graduate and his grandfather, Edgar F. Bailey, playedfootball for the Irish in the 1940s.Tallman married the former Heather Grzeskowiak

in the summer of 2006. The couple, along with herdaughter Hannah, and their son, Martin, resides inMishawaka, Ind.

Notre Dame joined the BIG EAST Conference prior to the 1995-96season and has been a member since then. The Irish have registered 12 consecutive top-four finishes in the BIG EAST Championships,

The BIG EASTConferenceWith 30 years under its belt, The BIG EAST

Conference continues on a path of success in and out ofthe athletic arena. The goals have always been the same.The league wants and expects to compete at the high-est level and does so with integrity and sportsmanship.The commendable performances of the student-athletesat BIG EAST schools are the indicators of the league’sproud tradition of success.The BIG EAST has gone through membership

changes since its birth, but the 2009-10 academic yearwill mark the conference’s fifth straight with the same16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-A con-ference.In 2008-09, BIG EAST student-athletes again suc-

ceeded on the national stage. The Connecticut women’sbasketball team won its sixth national championship bydefeating conference-foe Louisville in an all-BIG EASTNCAA title game. The Notre Dame women’s soccerteam reached the NCAA championship game and theSyracuse field hockey squad advanced to the NCAAFinal Four. Three BIG EAST women’s cross countryteams finished in the top 10 at the NCAAChampionships. West Virginia was fourth followed byVillanova in sixth place and Georgetown in ninth.Individually in women’s sports, Providence’s Dannette

Doetzel won the 10,000 meters at the NCAA OutdoorTrack & Field Championships. Connecticut’s MayaMoore was the conference’s sixth winner of the WadeTrophy as the top player in women’s basketball. NotreDame’s Kerri Hanks won the Hermann Trophy, the topaward in women’s soccer. On the men’s side, Connecticut and Villanova

advanced to the Final Four in basketball. The 2008-09campaign was arguably the best men’s basketball seasonin the history of the BIG EAST with the league settingNCAA standards with three No. 1 tournament seeds,four teams in the round of the Elite Eight and five in theSweet 16. The St. John’s men’s soccer team reached the NCAA

College Cup before losing in the national semifinals.BIG EAST football has maintained its high profile

and its reputation as a balanced group. Seven of theleague’s eight squads were nationally ranked or receivedvotes in the national polls in 2008. Cincinnati was theleague champion. The BIG EAST, a charter member ofthe Bowl Championship Series, has won three of its lastfour BCS bowl games. West Virginia, Louisville andConnecticut also have won or shared league crownsover the past four seasons.The BIG EAST has continued to produce student-

athletes who were at the forefront of athletic and aca-demic achievement. In 2008-09, 19 BIG EAST playerswere chosen to their respective ESPN The MagazineAcademic All-America Teams, including eight first-teamselections. Nearly 400 student-athletes have earned aca-demic all-America honors. The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division

I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new membersbegan competing. The new schools were: University ofCincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville,Marquette University and the University of SouthFlorida. BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s

top-34 largest media markets, including New York,Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa,Pittsburgh, Hartford, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. Withits newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almostone-fourth of all television households in the U.S.

Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won26 national championships in six different sports and126 student-athletes have won individual national titles.The BIG EAST has enjoyed tremendous basketball

success, especially in this decade. In 2008-09, the BIGEAST produced four of the eight Final Four teams inmen’s and women’s basketball. It was only the secondtime in NCAA history that one conference placed thatmany Final Four teams in the same season.In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in

NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAAbasketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIGEAST became the first conference in NCAA history towin the men’s and women’s titles in the same year whenthe Syracuse men and the Connecticut women capturedtheir respective national championships. In men’s bas-ketball, BIG EAST squads have won three of the last 11NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams havetaken six of the last 10 NCAA titles.Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for

the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EASTcontinually turns challenges into opportunities tobecome stronger.In 2009-10, the BIG EAST will add men’s lacrosse to

its growing list of sports, which will increase its total to24 sport championships. The first women’s golf cham-pionship was held in the spring of 2003. Women’slacrosse and rowing were added in 2001. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979,

following a meeting of athletic directors fromProvidence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuseuniversities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and BostonCollege completed the original seven school alliance. While the membership has both increased and

changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered.The conference reflects a tradition of broad based pro-grams, led by administrators and coaches who place aconstant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student

athletes own significantly high graduation rates and theirrecord of scholastic achievement notably shows a bal-ance between intercollegiate athletics and academics.Any successful organization has been fortunate to

have outstanding leadership. Michael Tranghese, theleague’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years theassociate to Dave Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990.In his first year, he administered the formation of TheBIG EAST Football Conference.For 2009-10, the BIG EAST will undergo one signif-

icant change. Tranghese stepped down from his positionon June 30, 2009. John Marinatto, who has served assenior associate commissioner, has moved into theCommissioner’s chair. The league has long been considered a leader in

innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particu-larly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted inunparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student-athletes.The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationshipswith CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC.BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sell-

outs at campus and major public arenas, including theannual men’s BIG EAST Championship in MadisonSquare Garden. The women’s basketball championshiphas led all conferences in attendance for the past sixyears. Attendance figures also are significant in soccerand baseball.More than 550 BIG EAST student-athletes have

earned All-America recognition and dozens have wonindividual NCAA national championships. The BIGEAST has been well represented in U.S. or foreignnational and Olympic teams. Several athletes earnedgold medals in each of the last six summer Olympiads.The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence

where the conference administers to more than 5,500athletes.

diving event as a sophomore in 1975. He qualifiedwith a record-breaking performance in a dual meetagainst Illinois State on Feb. 22 in the RockneMemorial Pool. Ebel's score of 302.65 stood as theschool record for nearly 15 years.Kegelman competed at the 2005 NCAA

Championships after earning his berth with a season-best time of 47.66 in the 100 Fly. He also swam inthe 200 Individual Medley and the 100 Fly at thenational meet.A variety of other Irish swimmers and divers have

been close to qualifying, including a very near missby diver Andy Maggio in 2002.Notre Dame swimmers have taken part in other

major national and international meets over theseveral years. MacKenzie LeBlanc took the gold inthe 200-meter butterfly at the Tri Nations Cup meetin Quebec City. The Vernon, B.C., native topped thepodium after checking in with a time of 2:00.13.LeBlanc won one of Canada's six gold medals to

In the400-meter event, it took him just 0.59 seconds to getoff the starting blocks at the commencement of therace, and that reaction time was the fastest of anynon-backstroker (male or female) during the entireAthens Olympics. He moved up from his seeding inboth races to finish 33rd in the 400 IM and 41st inthe 200-meter version.MacKay also competed in the 2004 World

The Irish swimming and diving teams com-pete in the state-of-the-art Rolfs AquaticCenter. After 27 years of intercollegiate swim-ming competition in the Rockne MemorialPool, the Notre Dame swimming and divingprograms entered a new era in 1985, as theymoved to the $4.5-million natatorium locatedin the Joyce Center.Donated by brothers Thomas and Robert

Rolf of West Bend, Wis., the Rolfs AquaticCenter provides Notre Dame with a modern,innovative facility on par with any other in thecountry. Ellerbe Architects and Engineers ofBloomington, Minn., the architects used in theplanning of the Joyce Center, also were com-missioned to design the 45,000-square-foot

letic character to the building. The lighting sys-tem is designed to be adjusted from maximumbrightness for television to nearly dark for dra-matic synchronized swimming presentations.The center was officially dedicated on

November 13, 1985.

WHO IS A REPRESENTATIVE OF NOTRE DAME’S ATHLETICS INTERESTS?(The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!)You are, if:

you are an enrolled student or graduate of the University.•

you have ever participated in or are a member of any organization • promoting Notre Dame’s athletics program. (The former Quarterback Club, The 3-Pt. Club, The Fast-Break Club, etc.)

you have ever made financial contributions to the University of • Notre Dame athletics department.

you have ever helped to arrange employment of or provided any • benefits to prospective or enrolled student-athletes.

you have ever been a season ticket holder in any sport.•

you have ever promoted the athletics programs at the University of • Notre Dame.

According to NCAA rules, once an individual has been identified as an institutional “representative of athletics interests” the individual retains that title for life. The University of Notre Dame is ultimately responsible for the behavior of all its athletics representatives in relation to NCAA rules and regulations. Violations of NCAA regulations by an athletics representative could result in the loss of eligibility for involved student-athletes (e.g. no participation in competitions) and/or severe sanctions against the University (e.g. loss of scholarships, television and post-season bans).

CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETEA student-athlete is any Notre Dame student who is a member of a

varsity athletics team.NCAA regulations apply to all student-athletes, not just those student-

PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETEA prospective student-athlete is any student who has started classes

for the ninth grade. Any student younger than ninth grade who receives any benefits from an institution or athletics representative would also become a prospective student-athlete. In addition, student-athletes enrolled in preparatory school or two-year colleges are considered prospective student-athletes.

* Note: An individual is considered a prospect (whether or not they have signed a National Letter-of-Intent) until the first day of initial collegiate enrollment or the first day they report for practice, whichever is earliest. Therefore, all NCAA regulations concerning contact with a prospective student-athlete are applicable until that time.

Such a call may not be prearranged by an institutional staff member and you are not permitted to have a recruiting conversation, but may exhibit normal civility. You must refer any questions about our athletics programs to an athletics department staff member/coach. view a prospect’s athletic contest at your own initiative provided • you do not contact the prospect or his/her parents. In addition, you may not contact a prospect’s coach, principal, or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the prospect.

The support of our alumni and friends is welcomed and appreciated. We ask, however, that you also help to keep Notre Dame’s tradition of athletics integrity intact by following the NCAA regulations. Your assistance will help ensure that the eligibility of both prospective and currently enrolled student-athletes is protected and preserved. Your efforts to know and follow the NCAA legislation are greatly appreciated because violations could affect the eligibility of involved prospects or student-athletes and/or result in NCAA penalties being imposed on the University.

To that end, it should be our goal, as the best alumni and fans in the country, to preserve and protect each and every student-athlete’s eligibility. All NCAA legislation cannot be covered in a limited space such as this program. Therefore, any additional questions should be forwarded to the Compliance Office in the Department of Athletics. Please remember to ask before you act!

HistoryThe University of Notre Dame du Lac •was founded in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin. Adjacent to South Bend, Ind., and nestled next to Saint Mary’s and Saint Joseph’s Lakes, the University was started with $310 in cash and three log buildings in disrepair.

Notre Dame would establish many •firsts for Catholic institutions of higher learning, including the first Catholic law school, the first Catholic engineering school and the first student residence with private rooms, Sorin Hall.

AcademicsThe University is organized into four •colleges - Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering and the Mendoza College of Business - the School of Architecture, the Law School, the Graduate School, six major research institutes, more than 40 centers and special programs and the University library system.

Notre Dame is rated among the nation’s •top 25 institutions of higher learning in surveys conducted by U.S. News and World Report, Princeton Review, Time, Kiplinger’s, and Kaplan/Newsweek.

Notre Dame ranks fifth in a listing of •“dream schools” in a survey of parents by the Princeton Review. The top five are Princeton, Stanford, Harvard, New York University and Notre Dame.

Notre Dame is among a select group of •schools that ranks in the top 25 on the U.S. News & World Report survey of the nation’s top colleges and in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Directors’ Cup for overall success in athletics.

StudentsGraduate and undergraduate students •at the University come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries worldwide.

Notre Dame’s graduation rate of 95 •percent is exceeded by only Harvard and Princeton.

Notre Dame’s 98 percent retention rate •between the freshman and sophomore years is among the highest in the country, thanks in large part to the University’s unique First Year of Studies Program.

Notre Dame has one of the highest •undergraduate residential concentrations of any national university, with 80 percent of its students living in 27 residence halls.

The medical school acceptance rate of •the University’s preprofessional studies graduates is 80 percent, almost twice the national average.

Notre Dame ranks first among Catholic •universities in the number of doctorates earned by its undergraduate alumni - a record compiled over some 85 years.

ServiceCommunity service is a hallmark of •Notre Dame. About 80 percent of Notre Dame students engage in some form of voluntary community service during their years at the University, and at least 10 percent devote a year or more after graduation to service in the United States and around the world.

The University’s • Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) annually sends 180 recent graduates to teach in some 100 understaffed Catholic schools in the southern, southeastern and southwestern United States and in South Bend. A national model, ACE has received the Higher Education Award from the Corporation for National Service for leadership in using national service resources through AmeriCorps.

AlumniThe University’s network of 270 alumni •clubs -- including 60 international clubs -- is the most extensive in higher education.

With graduates renowned for their •loyalty and generosity, Notre Dame annually ranks among the top five in percentage of alumni who contribute to the University.

In recent years, Notre Dame alumni have •won a Nobel Prize in medicine, a Pulitzer Prize in journalism, and an Emmy Award for contributions to television technology.
