Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame from 1952 to 1987, a priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross, and one of the nation's most influential figures in higher education, the Catholic Church, and national and international affairs, died at 11:30 p.m. Thursday (Feb. 26) at Holy Cross House adjacent to the University. He was 97.
In accord with Father Hesburgh's wishes, a customary Holy Cross funeral Mass will be celebrated in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at Notre Dame in coming days for his family, Holy Cross religious, University Trustees, administrators, and select advisory council members, faculty, staff and students.

Daniel Stein, Postdoc in Sacred Music Produces Elijah
This past Sunday, Notre Dame received Grammy Award winner and Metropolitan Opera Singer Nathan Gunn in the sold-out performance of F. Mendelssohn's oratorio Elijah. The performance, directed by Prof. Carmen-Helena Tellez was a collaboration between Notre Dame's DeBartolo Arts Center and the Sacred Music department with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
Daniel Stein, the Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow for the Mellon Sacred Music Dramas at Notre Dame was the managing producer of the event and put together the 40 piece orchestra. He also served as concertmaster of the Notre Dame Festival Orchestra. The concert is also the point of departure for the creation of the book 150 Impressions of Elijah which will feature materials from Notre Dame scholars, students and South Bend community members. If you are interested in being part of this project and share your unique perspective on the story of Elijah, please check how to participate on the following link: http://goo.gl/rKzN1S

The Conflict Management Toolkit
 Patricia L. Price and Scott Newman for Inside Higher Ed The desire to avoid conflict at all costs is a very human, reflexive one: conflict ranks up there with death, snakes and public speaking in the annals of the most feared. Yet conflict is an unavoidable facet of human relationships, therefore, no workplace -- including your department -- is immune. Once you become a department chair, part of your job is to address conflict so that interpersonal relationships are respectful and productive and the core business of the department -- teaching students, conducting research, engaging in shared governance -- can proceed.
