The Monogram Club presented 156 Notre Dame student-athletes and student support staff members with their Monogram jackets Tuesday evening inside Downes Club at Corbett Family Hall. The fall Monogram Jacket Ceremony honors first-time Monogram recipients from Notre Dame’s winter and spring sports along with student managers from those teams and the football program.
Former Notre Dame men’s basketball standout, and current ACC Network analyst and studio anchor, Jordan Cornette (‘05) was the featured alumni speaker, while Hannah Dorney, a sophomore midfielder on the Notre Dame women’s lacrosse team, gave the student-athlete reflection.
“To get to where you are today is no simple pursuit,” Cornette told the honorees. “It’s quite an achievement. One achieved with unrelenting dedication, passion and work ethic.
“No matter the sport, embrace each other. Be each other’s biggest cheerleader. Lift one another up. Do your part for this special fraternity. You are family, the Notre Dame family. It’s a bond that will unite all of you in this room long after tonight.
“Embrace the time that you have here at Notre Dame. It doesn’t get any better. This is the easy part, if you can imagine that. Never forget the resource that this place is. It truly prepares you for greatness ahead in life.
“I’m here to help in any way I can for your futures because that’s what comes with being a Notre Dame student-athlete. That’s what the Monogram Club is all about. We are family.”
“Notre Dame is a special place full of special people,” said Dorney. “These special people are what make the experience here unlike anywhere else. No matter where you are on campus, whether it be your dorm, the library, the weight room, the field or the locker room, you’re surrounded by individuals who will do everything in their power to make sure you’re performing at the best of your ability.
“Earning this Monogram jacket means so many different things to so many different people. To me, it is a symbol of the lifelong connection to each other that we all have been granted. The Monogram Club keeps generations of athletes in touch through this historic ND symbol. This is so important to me because my special people won’t only be around to make my four years at Notre Dame special, but they will be with me to make the 40 years after that just as amazing because of this Monogram.”
Congratulations to the 1⃣5⃣6⃣ first-time Monogram winners who received their jackets last night! A big thank you to @jordancornette (‘05 @NDmbb) & @hannahdorneyy (‘22 @NDWomensLax) for their outstanding speeches!

So proud to stand alongside these two guys as they received their Monogram jackets last night.
