Prospective families participated in a student-led tour and many hands-on activities. Special thanks to those Notre Dame community members - faculty, staff, students and parents - who helped to make the day so successful.

On Tuesday, May 3 the Girls' Tennis Team and Father Cip enjoyed some bonding time with a night out for dinner followed by the 3D viewing experience of the movie "Rio".
