Emeritus President Monk Malloy And Bill Jordan '85, Founder & CEO of Jordan Energy
Our first Sustainability & Stewardship Summit brought together 20 alumni and 20 current students for a weekend of building connections and creating a vision for the future of our Network.
The Summit formally launched the Notre Dame Stewardship & Sustainability Network. Participants discussed ways to deepen connectivity and collaboration among faculty, students, alumni and friends with a passion for stewardship and sustainability, and to strengthen Notre Dame’s impact as a global platform for these values. The Summit also provided an opportunity for leaders and students re-engage with their shared commitment to stewardship, cultivate mentoring relationships to foster future leaders, and chart a bold vision for Notre Dame leadership in stewardship and sustainability.
The Summit Agenda is outlined below. If you would like to join the Network, please email us and we will gladly send you detailed notes on the Summit proceedings. Be sure to let us know if you would like to be on the planning committee for the next Summit!
Kim Frankovich LAW '97, Global Sustainability Director at Wrigley
