Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., expressed his appreciation to the provost. The full letter can be read

"Anyone who knows Marie Lynn knows how deeply she is committed to building a more just world and caring for the most vulnerable. Such concerns have guided her not only at Notre Dame, but throughout her career. In recent months, the pandemic has led her to reflect on how she can best serve society and the causes about which she is passionate." — Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., president, in a letter to faculty and academic staff
