February 2026

In a month that emphasizes connections, we’re reminded that leadership is grounded in care for people, organizations, and communities. It’s also a good time to reflect on how strong relationships grow - through integrity, accountability, and genuine concern for others.

In this spirit, we invite you to explore one of the newest Notre Dame research labs, an endeavor that examines the intersection of people with technology, including ways you and your organization can get involved. We also share videos from a recent series on the ethics and economics of tariffs, along with other news. 

Here's to spring around the corner, and a season of connections - to our work and to the people who make it worth doing!
