• “I chose Notre Dame because of how highly it values both academic and athletic excellence. It is clear to me that Notre Dame is a place where those two go hand in hand, as they have through my high school career. In my college search, it became apparent that Notre Dame had the most supportive, spirited community of the colleges I was interested in. I also spoke with current athletes, and they told me all about how supported they felt in their pursuit of both academic and athletic success. What’s more, I have attended Catholic schools my whole life, and Notre Dame’s student life very much revolves around practicing Catholicism. I’m excited to further build my faith in God during my time there,” Thomas said.
