         This University was founded on the values and core beliefs that the Sisters of Notre Dame live by. A strong emphasis is placed on social justice and equality. It is very evident that the sisters live a life dedicated to serving the people. As a political science major, these values are good to have. Politics focuses on the governance of citizens, but often times, it would seem as though officials, legislators, and policy makers lose sight of what is important ans what the people really need. Sometimes it even seems like politics favors one group over another, seeding a deep root for injustices that the "forgotten" group may be facing. If more politicians were to live their life based on the hallmarks that the Sisters of Notre Dame established, more efforts would be made to make sure that no one is overlooked or left behind.These values that the Sisters live by could potentially influence graduates to choose a career based on its principle and not the paycheck. While a career dedicated to service may be challenging, the Sisters make it clear that it will be nothing less than fulfilling.
