The ThinkND Podcast

Shakespeare and Possibility continues with our conversation with several recently-graduated Notre Dame seniors from the Not-So-Royal Shakespeare Company, Notre Dame’s student-run Shakespeare club, re-established in 1997. These students, the “NSR” class of 2024, had the unique experience of entering their freshman year at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Over their four years as undergraduates, “NSR” produced 8 mainstage Shakespearean productions and more than 10 auxiliary performances. 

The Not-So-Royal Shakespeare Company is home to some of the most dedicated and passionate students on campus. These students come from multiple colleges and communities across the University but have taken the stage united by the inspiration, camaraderie, and possibility they found in Shakespeare. Join us in a conversation celebrating their 2024 commencement and the joy they have cultivated, both by their artistic accomplishments and in their friendships within the Not-So-Royal Shakespeare Company.  

If you are interested in joining the club or auditioning for the shows, please email [email protected] to join the email list. You can also follow the Not-So-Royal Shakespeare Comany Instagram page, @nsr_shakespeare, for more information on past and future productions.

Uncover the foundations of the Opioid Settlement, how and why they were established, the challenges they have faced, and what success looks like as community leaders move forward with their individual missions.

The opioid epidemic has devastated communities across the United States. The National Opioids Settlement and other settlement agreements have created a sense of hope for families and communities affected by the opioid crisis and provided a profound opportunity for states across the nation to begin to repair the damage the epidemic has wrought.

This event was the opening discussion at the University of Notre Dame’s Summit on the Opioids Settlement: A Pathway to Hope which focused on how to most effectively distribute the nearly $50 billion in settlement dollars to maximize the impact on our communities and citizens.

Held in August 2024, this summit brought together attorneys general from across the country to discuss best practices to proactively evaluate the efficacy of opioid abatement programs and develop strategies to best distribute the funds. Led by the University of Notre Dame’s Poverty Initiative, the summit explores how evidence-based practices can inform decision making and ensure that the Opioids Settlement best helps those victims it is meant to serve.

Speakers:

• Jim Sullivan ’93, director of the Poverty Initiative, academic director and co-founder of the Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities at the University of Notre Dame
• Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame
• Rev. Edward “Monk” Malloy, C.S.C., president emeritus of the University of Notre Dame
• David Go ’01, vice president and associate provost for academic strategy and the Viola D. Hank Professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame
