The alliance will serve as a hub for connecting, amplifying and spearheading research, curriculum and action initiatives for supporting a sustainable future, as inspired by the principles articulated by Pope Francis in his encyclical Laudato si’ (On Care for Our Common Home) and embraced and amplified by Pope Leo XIV as he begins his papacy.

That’s why we need new metrics to monitor and assess Safe Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene or WASH interventions, says Pulte Institute Evidence and Learning Associate Director Danice Brown Guzmán.
The Pulte Institute takes a lead role in expanding Notre Dame’s research portfolio with federal agencies. Executive Director Michael Sweikar drew on his expertise in developing well-crafted proposals and offered this webinar hosted by LASER PULSE, with information on processes and procedures, policies and guidelines, and tips and tools to facilitate and support Grant Proposal Development.
As the University kicks off Walk the Walk Week with events designed to help us consider how we can take an active role in making Notre Dame more inclusive, we’re heeding the words of William J. Pulte Director Tracy Kijewski-Correa, who says, “The root of all that’s wrong in the world is that we value some lives less than others.” She explains that everyone, no matter their stature or status, brings something to the table.
On Earth Day 2023, Program Manager and Research Associate Lizzie Dolan says with climate change and historically irresponsible stewardship of water, we are increasingly facing barriers to having accessible, adequate, and acceptable water. One project the Pulte Institute is working on to supply safe water is the Sustainability and Human Rights Initiative, or SHRI, which offers states and corporations a research-based approach to fulfill this fundamental right.
