(2:01) At the St. Joseph County Cyber Crimes Unit, eight Notre Dame undergraduates raised their right hands to be sworn in as law enforcement officers. They’re the only students in the country with that designation, and with it comes a host of responsibilities.The students are key in researching online activity, creating suspect profiles, executing warrants, and gleaning digital forensics from all confiscated media. They’ve seen cases ranging from drug trafficking to homicides, and have helped local law enforcement lock up perpetrators and set innocent suspects free. While beat cops and detectives are experts on the streets, the students are experts in social media and the Internet. They’ve taken a months-long backlog and reduced it to a matter of hours.While the students have been immensely helpful to the police force in South Bend, they are getting beneficial experience as well. The skills they’re honing are attractive to law enforcement, the FBI, technology firms, and consulting groups, and the internship is helping them stand out to potential employers.Learn more: https://go.nd.edu/UncoverTheEvidence

(2:54) Rome has been a tourist destination since the fourth century and exploring the city through the lens of those that visited before can be beneficial to see how the city has changed over time."When you’re in Rome, you’re trying to take it all in as it is today,” Jenna Frantik ’20 said. “But it’s easy to forget what it was."The Historic Urban Environments Lab (HUE/ND) at Notre Dame, a collaborative mix of librarians, architects, computer scientists, programmers and students, is working to digitize travel guides from the Renaissance era to the present day to allow Notre Dame Architecture students studying abroad in Rome (and the general public) the opportunity to see Rome through the centuries."With the app and the website that we’ve created and the combination of the rare books that we have embedded in those, showing the evolution of these monuments, students get to see the planned views for a site like St. Peter’s (Basilica), what was intended and what actually got built," said Architecture professor Selena Anders. "It helps people, not just students or scholars, but the average traveler to actually understand the complex layers and evolution of the city of Rome.”

(2:03) While competing during the 40th U.S. Senior Open hosted at Warren Golf Course at the University of Notre Dame, second-place finisher David Toms remarked, “What struck me is how mature the golf course is for being a fairly new golf course. It looks like a historic golf course to me. I’ve always enjoyed playing historic venues and old-style golf courses.”The course, officially the William K. and Natalie O. Warren Golf Course, was opened in 1999 and is the result of the benefaction of William K. Warren Jr. ’56, a trustee emeritus who named the course after his parents and thus combined three of his enduring passions: his family, Notre Dame, and golf.But in a conversation with Mr. Warren and his son, John-Kelly, during the tournament, it became clear the golf course bearing his family name was about something else as well: giving back to the University he says “gave him more than he gave it” and set him up for success in business and in life.The family is a key partner in the research mission of Notre Dame as well: Benefaction from the William K. Warren Foundation makes possible the Warren Family Research Center for Drug Discovery and Development, a state-of-the-art resource that helps spur interdisciplinary work to develop new treatments for a range of diseases.
