Arising from the McGrath Institute for Church Life, the Sullivan Undergraduate Saints Fellowship forms Notre Dame students as leaders in the study and spirituality of the saints. We launched this fellowship in 2025 with an inaugural cohort of 12 students selected from a pool of many, many applicants. As part of their fellowship, our saints fellows completed a course this past semester (with yours truly) on praying with the saints. Next year they will become leaders of other undergraduate students, as they form groups of students who pray together and serve together in a manner common to a saint each fellow selects. But in between the course they complete and the year of leadership they undertake, the whole cohort of 12 fellows, along with me and a chaplain, make a pilgrimage to immerse ourselves in the cultures that gave rise to particular saints––cultures which, in turn, these saints renewed and enriched. This year's pilgrimage was to France, specifically: Paris, Chartres, Lisieux, LeMans, Tours, and Lourdes. Today, two of our Sullivan Undergraduate Saints Fellows join me to talk about the meaning and significance of this pilgrimage with the saints. Macy Vance is a rising junior and Kate Apelian is a rising senior at Notre Dame, but really I should let them introduce themselves.Follow-up Resources:Learn more about the Sullivan Undergraduate Saints FellowshipCheck out the wildly popular “Saturdays with the Saints” lecture series“Pilgrimage and the Urgent Question of Faith,” by Leonard J.

My abridged version: Harvard graduate and Jewish student leader, Shabbos Kestenbaum, discussed today's war against campus antisemitism at America's leading universities, citing Columbia and Harvard as being ground zero for Palestinianist-inspired antisemitism. The battle goes beyond Hamas students threatening and harassing Jewish students as the faculties themselves are filled with antisemitic professors and instructors. Now, with the Trump Administration taking tough measures against these institutions, including withholding hundreds of millions of dollars, as they recently did to Columbia, and the arresting for deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, a Hamas "student" agitator from Columbia, Kestenbaum believes that the universities will only take token measures to try to slip by Trump's new policy. Even now, by willing to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism, there will still be wiggle room for these universities to get around expelling students who violate the civil rights of Jewish students. Shabbos discussed his own suit against Harvard, choosing to pursue legal action in court rather than settle out of court as some of his peers did. During the interview we talked about the challenges that Jewish students face as they are vastly outnumbered and out-funded by the pro-Hamas student and faculty activists.

As we neared the one-year anniversary of October 7 earlier this month, the Harvard Institute of Politics — the largest student organization on Harvard's campus and its flagship platform for political discourse — saw a high-profile shakeup in its student leadership. Citing the Palestinian exception to free speech, a vocal pro-Palestine activist resigned as the chair of one of the IOP's popular programs on campaigns and advocacy. The reason? Closed-door infighting over how to handle the 2024 elections and Israel-Palestine conflict in its programming. As concerns about free speech and censorship ramp up, the IOP shakeup marked a fundamental disagreement between the IOP's top student leadership on how to handle political campus discourse on Israel and Palestine.Today on Newstalk, we join our reporters to break down the dispute — and we join the student who resigned to hear his version of the story.
