Beauty surrounds us. We see it. We hear it. But we also find it every time we learn something new about our world. There is a beauty to understanding itself, which brings connection, meaning, and purpose. Seeking this sense of wonder through academic research can contribute to our flourishing as scholars.
The University of Notre Dame invites you to embrace the beauty of understanding at the heart of the intellectual journey. ![]() Featured Event: The Beauty of Understanding Showcase![]() For a moment, let’s take a step back from emails, schedules and meetings to reflect on why we do research.
