Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians of the Class of 2016,

Welcome to the University of Notre Dame! The JPW Committee and I are delighted to have you join us in celebrating Junior Parents Weekend 2015. It has been our honor and pleasure to plan events we hope will allow you to experience the academic, spiritual, and social life of our special University.

As one of the three touch-points for students and parents to gather at Notre Dame, JPW is a weekend for students to give their parents a glimpse of their home under the dome, the place that will be in our hearts forever. I hope that JPW will be filled with love and happiness as all of you connect and share special Notre Dame moments, merging individual families and the Notre Dame family.

The tradition of our school and this weekend inspired the designs. This schedule and the other programs and tickets you will receive this weekend reflect the timeless beauty of our university.

My goal is to welcome you with spirit and tradition in classic Notre Dame fashion. Enjoy the weekend!

Go Irish! Donna VuJPW 2015 Chairperson
