ND Vets August 2025 Newsletter

Welcome to the Notre Dame Veterans (ND Vets) Employee Resource Group (ERG) community. Our primary mission is to connect and support all military veterans within the Notre Dame community to build a stronger sense of belonging amongst all ND veterans, regardless of department, faculty or staff, location, or shift. To this end, over the coming year we will be holding a variety of activities and events with the aim of bringing veterans together.

Examples of last year’s events included tours of the football stadium and the top floor of the library, a Veterans Day breakfast, our annual Army-Navy game watch, and a fireside chat with Coach Marcus Freeman.

New ND Vets Leadership: Please welcome our newest leadership team members – Jonathan Anderstrom (Vice President) and Vonita Murray-Lawson (Secretary).

Upcoming events: We have another year of events to bring our ND
Vets campus community together, including our ND Vets Meet & Greet Coffee Social Hour – a great opportunity to meet your fellow ND Vets – and a special tour of the Basilica Bell Tower (see sidebar for more details.) Much more to follow! Of course, if you have suggestions on tours or events, please let us know.

How can I help support ND Vets?
It’s easy. Help us recruit new ND Vet members by bringing them to an event or having them contact us so we can add them to our distribution list. Of course, we are also always looking for volunteers to help with planned events. If you are interested, let anyone on the leadership team know.

Once again, welcome to the ND Vets community and another exciting year ahead.
