    2024 Notre Dame Forum: What Do We Owe Each Other?
    As part of the celebration of the Inauguration of Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., as the University of Notre Dame’s 18th President, join us for a series of “fireside chats” with global leaders in technology, philanthropy, corporate sustainability, and foreign affairs.
    Since its establishment in 2005, each year the Notre Dame Forum invites campus-wide dialogue about issues of importance to the University, the nation, and the larger world. This year’s theme, chosen by Father Dowd, invites reflection on our responsibilities to one another. In a world where ideological and cultural divisions seem to have deepened, the Forum aims to bring people together across differences to face the most pressing challenges of our time.
    Emcee: Meghan Sullivan, Wilsey Family College Professor of Philosophy and Founding Director of Notre Dame’s Institute for Ethics and the Common Good
