- 9:30 AM7hSpotlight Exhibit — "Football and Community at Historically Black Colleges and Universities"From its origins on campus in the late nineteenth century, football at Historically Black Colleges and Universities has held a central place in the African American sporting experience, in the landscape of Black higher education, and in the broader African American community. During the era of Jim Crow segregation, the vast majority of African American college students and student athletes attended HBCUs. Over the first half of the twentieth century, many of the yearly gridiron contests between rival HBCUs developed into highly anticipated annual events that combined football with larger celebrations of African American achievement and excellence. The yearly games brought together members of the African American community and came to include a wide range of associated events including dances, parades, musical shows, fundraising drives, and other festivities. We are pleased to exhibit a selection of sources from the Joyce Sports Research Collection that preserve the history of HBCU football. The programs, media guides, ephemera, guidebooks, and other printed material on display document the athletic accomplishments, the celebrations, the spectacle, and the community-building that accompany football at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. This exhibit is curated by Greg Bond, curator of the Joyce Sports Research Collection and the Sports Subject Specialist for Hesburgh Libraries. This and other exhibits within the Hesburgh Libraries are generously supported by the McBrien Special Collections Endowment. All exhibits are free and open to the public during business hours. Open to undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, faculty, staff, the public, alumni and friends.

- 9:30 AM7hSpotlight Exhibit — "Path to Sainthood: Brother Columba O’Neill"The Congregation of Holy Cross, Midwest Province Archives, holds a large collection relating to Brother Columba O’Neill, C.S.C. (1848-1923), dating from 1895 to 1997. This includes thousands of letters written to Brother Columba, who was known as the Miracle Man of Notre Dame and the Divine Healer. John O’Neill was born in Mackeysburg, Pennsylvania in 1848 and entered the Congregation of Holy Cross in 1874. For the next 42 years, he labored in the humble capacity of a cobbler, repairing shoes and fabricating special shoes for people with foot and ankle problems. Brother Columba had a remarkable devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and a greater love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Around 1900, he began making Sacred Heart badges (30,000 of them). Many were given to students when they came to pick up their shoes. He told them to pray a novena, say five times a day, for nine days (or more, if not cured), “Sacred Heart of Jesus cure me!” As early as 1907, reports of many “miracles” wrought through the prayers of Br. Columba began arriving at Notre Dame. For years after his death in 1923, letters from South Bend and all over the world continued to arrive at Notre Dame. Of more than 10,000 letters in the collection, hundreds thank Brother Columba for cures, from chronic headaches to blindness. For 30 years after his death, people came daily to visit his grave on the Notre Dame campus. Brother Columba died on November 20, 1923, in the Community House — now Columba Hall — from complications related to the Spanish flu. Br. Isidore Alderton wrote, “News of his death soon spread to the people of South Bend, and dozens of members of the community, sisters and strangers were lining up to pass before his casket. For the past two days and nights the parlor in the Community House has become a veritable shrine.” Items on display in the spotlight exhibit are on loan from the Archives of the Congregation of the Holy Cross. This exhibit is co-curated by Brother Philip Smith, C.S.C., Archivist, Midwest Province, Congregation of Holy Cross, and Aedín Clements, Irish Studies Librarian. This and other exhibits within the Hesburgh Libraries are generously supported by the McBrien Special Collections Endowment. All exhibits are free and open to the public during business hours.

- 5:30 PM1hKeeley Vatican Lecture: "Integral Human Development through a Leadership of Care" with Sister Raffaella Petrini, Secretary General of the Vatican City StateAt the heart of the Church’s social teaching lies the so-called "social question," which has evolved over time under the effects of cultural, social, political, and economic transformations. As Pope Benedict XVI clearly stated, today the social question has become "a radically anthropological question," touching upon the way human life is manipulated and transformed by technology. This renewed emphasis on the anthropological nature of the social question, strongly reaffirmed by Pope Francis, brings back to one’s attention the deeper meaning of human development, its evolution, and its ultimate end as a social value. Within ecclesial and non-ecclesial organizations, leadership that intends to contribute to integral human development must preserve both the socio-relational and spiritual dimensions of human existence. This leadership style must be combined with management models that are essentially human-centered, oriented to fostering the development of both the organizational structure and the people who work in it. Here some basic principles are identified as necessary conditions for exercising a leadership of care, overcoming a traditionally rigid separation between the personal and the professional domain, driven by a primary concern for the well-being of the people within the organization. About the Speaker Sister Raffaella Petrini, a member of the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist, was appointed as Secretary-General of the Governorate of Vatican City State by Pope Francis in November 2021. She is the first woman to hold this position making her the highest-ranking woman in the world's smallest state. A native of Rome, Italy, Sr. Petrini holds a degree in political science from the Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali Guido Carli (LUISS), a Master of Organizational Behavior degree from the University of Hartford, and a doctorate from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (the Angelicum), where she taught Welfare Economics and Sociology of Economic Processes at the Faculty of Social Sciences. She has served as an official at the Vatican Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples since 2005 and as a member of the Dicastery for Bishops and the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See (APSA) since 2022.

- 5:30 PM1hKeeley Vatican Lecture: "Integral Human Development through a Leadership of Care" with Sister Raffaella Petrini, Secretary General of the Vatican City StateAt the heart of the Church’s social teaching lies the so-called "social question," which has evolved over time under the effects of cultural, social, political, and economic transformations. As Pope Benedict XVI clearly stated, today the social question has become "a radically anthropological question," touching upon the way human life is manipulated and transformed by technology. This renewed emphasis on the anthropological nature of the social question, strongly reaffirmed by Pope Francis, brings back to one’s attention the deeper meaning of human development, its evolution, and its ultimate end as a social value. Within ecclesial and non-ecclesial organizations, leadership that intends to contribute to integral human development must preserve both the socio-relational and spiritual dimensions of human existence. This leadership style must be combined with management models that are essentially human-centered, oriented to fostering the development of both the organizational structure and the people who work in it. Here some basic principles are identified as necessary conditions for exercising a leadership of care, overcoming a traditionally rigid separation between the personal and the professional domain, driven by a primary concern for the well-being of the people within the organization. About the Speaker Sister Raffaella Petrini, a member of the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist, was appointed as Secretary-General of the Governorate of Vatican City State by Pope Francis in November 2021. She is the first woman to hold this position making her the highest-ranking woman in the world's smallest state. A native of Rome, Italy, Sr. Petrini holds a degree in political science from the Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali Guido Carli (LUISS), a Master of Organizational Behavior degree from the University of Hartford, and a doctorate from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (the Angelicum), where she taught Welfare Economics and Sociology of Economic Processes at the Faculty of Social Sciences. She has served as an official at the Vatican Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples since 2005 and as a member of the Dicastery for Bishops and the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See (APSA) since 2022.
