The University began 2021 with the historic spring semester, which included an on-campus COVID-19 vaccine clinic and culminated in an in-person Commencement. The determination and steadfastness of the Notre Dame community was on full display not only in the way in which it rallied to meet the challenges of the past year, but also in the breakthroughs achieved in research and academics, and the progress made in service to the Church and the common good.
