About the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures The Department of Romance Languages and Literatures bears witness through its scholarship and teaching to the importance of knowing languages and knowing the world through languages. It therefore promotes and supports language learning through its three programs–French and Fracophone Studies, Iberian and Latin-American Studies, and Italian Studies–as an important aspect of “educated citizenship,” taking advanced competence as a key educational goal, which is to say, the ability to conduct mature human relationships in the “other’s” language, whether these relationships are social, professional, or strategic ( Mary Louise Pratt, “Building a New Public Idea about Language,” ADFL Bulletin , 34.3 (2003): 5-9) . The Department fosters relations between Notre Dame and the Romance world(s) of Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia through its ties to research institutes and universities throughout the world, and through its support of Notre Dame’s International Studies Programs in France, Italy, Spain, and Latin America. Through its interactions with hosting scholars and students from these parts of the world, the Department faculty makes a vital contribution to Notre Dame’s international standing as a Catholic institution of higher learning.

About the Physics Department Cutting edge research is carried out in astrophysics, nuclear physics, elementary particle physics, condensed matter and biophysics, and atomic physics. Graduate and undergraduate students work with the faculty using local facilities as well as research facilities located in places such as Arizona (the Large Binocular Telescope on Mt. Graham), Illinois ( Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory ), and Europe ( CERN and Grenoble, France). Some of the facilities available on campus include the Nuclear Structure Laboratory with its three Van de Graaff accelerators, the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Laboratory, and the Molecular Beam Epitaxy facility. Undergraduate physics majors are trained to use the most modern equipment, learn about the most current and exciting topics for research, and, most of all, learn to be problem solvers. As the “liberal arts” of the sciences, physics is a training ground for the mind which opens many avenues.
