I am honored to be able to pen my first note to you as the Vice President for Research at the University of Notre Dame. You may be wondering why this note comes more than two months after my start date. The motivation is simple: I believe strongly in listening before acting.
Over the past 60+ days, I have had the opportunity to visit virtually every Center, Institute, and Core Facility under the Notre Dame Research (NDR) umbrella and meet with faculty, staff, and students alike to hear about their dynamic research efforts as well as their associated successes and challenges. I have visited with core NDR staff to absorb our policies and practices, learning of not only their amazing dedication to the University's success but where we may have opportunities for growth. I have engaged with other University stakeholders—including faculty, staff, students, alumni, parents, and friends, as well as industry partners and federal, state, and local government collaborators—to learn not only of their passion for and belief in the University of Notre Dame but also their properly lofty expectations for the University as we move forward.

Black families growing up on either side of the tracks have same economic outcomes |
University of Notre Dame assistant professor of sociology Steven Alvarado and Alexandra Cooperstock, a doctoral candidate in sociology at Cornell University, used 35 years of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth from 1979 to 2014 to study what happened when multiple generations of Black, white and Latino families lived on one side of the tracks versus the other. In the journal City and Community, they have concluded that race was the chief factor in contributing to one’s economic success in the U.S. over multiple generations.
