Together building a more just future

Keona Lewis first remembers asking questions about racism and society when she participated in a ballet portraying the Soweto Riots in high school. It was the start of a journey that most recently led to her stepping into the roles of associate provost for academic diversity and inclusion at Notre Dame and faculty member at the center.

The center is launching a new 3-year initiative to study and pilot best practices for cultivating a lifelong commitment to the common good among college-aged students. The centerpiece of this new initiative is the establishment and assessment of a 3-year fellowship for undergraduates from across campus who will explore what it means to lead an ethical life. The application for the inaugural cohort is open through April 13.

Showcasing works both contemporary and traditional, this collection is symbolic of Potawatomi culture and a sign of the center's commitment to learn from and partner with the Pokagon community.
