About the Institute
Advancing Notre Dame's Commitment to the Future of Children and Schools
Founded in 1996 under the direction of Prof. Maureen Hallinan, the Institute for Educational Initiatives has grown dramatically in its 20-year history. It now provides an intellectual home at Notre Dame for more than 80 Faculty Fellows from a range of academic disciplines who are united by a shared interest in K-12 education. Through teaching, research, and outreach, Institute Fellows and affiliates strive to improve the education of all young people, particularly the disadvantaged, with a special--though not exclusive--call to sustain, strengthen, and transform elementary and secondary Catholic schools.
