The Delirium of the Brave: Sacrifice for the Soul of the Irish Nation explores how failed rebellions against British rule inspired a powerful legacy of Irish patriotism, cultural revival, and the pursuit of independence. Drawn from Hesburgh Libraries' world-class Irish Studies collection in Rare Books and Special Collections and the University Archives, the exhibit features items that document the heroes, martyrs, and idealistic men and women who helped forge modern Ireland.

Check out the newest StoryWalk® in Michiana! We’ve partnered with the St. Joseph County Public Library to bring this exciting national project to the Charles B. Hayes Family Sculpture Park from July 1 to August 31. StoryWalk® combines experiencing nature with reading together as a family. Our StoryWalk® will explore the book Wonder Walkers by Micha Archer. Read together, do fun activities, and enjoy the art and nature of the Sculpture Park! The StoryWalk® begins near the Hiler Family Terrace behind the Museum near Clement Meadmore’s sculpture UPBEAT (look for a black sculpture that looks like it’s dancing at the start of a path into the Sculpture Park) and continues east on a paved, gently sloping path. Parking is available in the Visitor Lot immediately north of the Sculpture Park for a fee during the week (before 4:30 p.m.). Free two-hour parking is available in the Eddy Street Commons Parking Garage or along Angela Blvd. After 4:30 p.m. and on weekends, parking is free and available in any non-gated campus lot. If traveling via South Bend Transpo, take the No.7 bus and use the Eddy St. Commons stop. The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT, and was developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier, VT. StoryWalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson. Originally published at raclinmurphymuseum.nd.edu.

"Life springs from death, and from the graves of patriot men and women spring living nations." — P.H. Pearse, August 1915 In 1803, Robert Emmet led a failed rebellion to overthrow British rule in Ireland. In 1848, a group called Young Ireland staged a brief revolt that was hastily crushed. The Fenian Brotherhood invaded British North America in 1866, and the IRB organized a series of unsuccessful raids in Ireland the following year. On Easter Monday, 1916, a small group of Irish insurgents launched a rebellion in Dublin that was quashed in under a week. While these four attempts to create an independent Ireland may have failed, they each gave rise to a powerful romantic narrative that captivated the spirits of the Irish at home and abroad. Out of sacrifice and tragedy sprang patriotic verse, defiant journalism, cultural revival, and eventually, Irish freedom from British rule. This exhibit features items from Rare Books and Special Collections and the University Archives that document the heroes, martyrs, and idealistic men and women who forged modern Ireland.

Got 20 minutes? Then you can learn how to make meaningful accessibility enhancements to your courses. Facilitated by campus experts, this hyper-focused series covers rapid, actionable digital accessibility fixes, providing maximum impact in minimum time to help you enhance teaching effectiveness, eliminate digital barriers, and support student success. How It Works: The 20-Minute Blueprint Every session follows a What, Why, How format. This one will cover:What: Designing presentation decks that are structured, legible, and easy for all students to navigateWhy: Screen readers read slide elements in the chronological order they were created, not how they appear visually on the screen. If you copy-paste individual text boxes all over a blank slide, a screen reader will read them completely out of order, turning your presentation into a jumbled puzzle.How: How to stick to built-in layout templates (which automatically lock in the correct reading order), how to use the Selection and Reading Order panes to verify your slide sequence, and how to run PowerPoint’s one-click Accessibility Checker and a Google equivalentTo help you save even more time, we will also highlight smart strategies for leveraging generative AI to fast-track these accessibility fixes wherever possible. You’ll leave every session not just with awareness, but with a practical skill you can apply to your Canvas site or instructional materials before your next class begins. New to the conversation? Before you jump on the express sessions, jumpstart your foundational knowledge by reviewing one of our web resources: Introduction to Digital Accessibility.
