- 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.

- 12:30 PM1hRace as a Social ConstructBuilding an Anti-Racist Vocabulary Join the Klau Institute for Civil and Human Rights as Jennifer Guglielmo explores what we mean when we say that race is a social construct, with particular attention to the shifting racial identity of Italian Americans throughout American history.

- 12:30 PM1hWorkshop 1: Sustainability Course DevelopmentCalling all faculty interested in exploring how they might modify existing courses or create new courses to have a focus on sustainability. This session will introduce Dr. Grace Wang, a consultant from AASHE (the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education) who is a specialist in training faculty in the art of developing sustainability-focused courses in any and all academic disciplines. She will explain her methods and initiate conversations leading to how you might conceive of sustainability issues to include within your own discipline-specific courses. Following this session, you will be invited to join a series of three one-hour workshops led by Dr. Wang during academic 2023-24, and a culminating day-and-a-half workshop during the “dead week” after spring finals. In these workshops, Dr. Wang will guide you through developing your own new course, or revising an existing course, to have a sustainability focus while still fulfilling your regular disciplinary teaching obligations. The workshops will include ample time for brainstorming and sharing ideas with your colleagues who are also participating. Course development grants of up to $6,000 will be available for salary and/or materials as you work through the final details of your new or revised course over Summer 2024, in anticipation of offering the course in academic 2024-25. Every discipline has something important to offer as we face issues in sustainability and, especially, climate change.

- 7:30 PM2hTheater: "A Doll's House 1954"Notre Dame Film, Television, and Theatre Presents A Doll’s House 1954 Adapted and Directed by Carys Kresny Based on the original play by Henrik Ibsen Long before the brewskis and galloping steeds of patriarchy invaded Ken and Barbie's pink and perky world, Henrik Ibsen shattered expectations and shocked Europe with a sold-out premiere of his revolutionary classic, A Doll's House. Audiences were blown away by how real the characters and setting felt, as well as by the play's challenge to the world they took for granted. A Doll's House 1954 moves the action to the post-war USA, where Nora and her husband rejoice in his promotion and, finally, their shot at the American Suburban Dream. It's Christmas, they're in love, and life is beautiful — until a long-held secret is forced to the surface and everything they've believed about themselves, their friends, and their world explodes. In the play, as in life, relationships are messy, no matter that social scripts pretend they're not — and it's hard to be honest, even with the people you love. The play features 20th century idiomatic speech and American 1950's culture as it confronts desire, gender and social roles, and the struggle to live truthfully in a prescriptive society. Performance Schedule November 9-12 Thursday - Saturday at 7:30 pm | Sunday at 2:30 pm Patricia George Decio Theatre | DeBartolo Performing Arts Center Tickets Originally published at ftt.nd.edu.
