The 2013-14 Notre Dame Forum topic is Women in Leadership. Established by Father Jenkins in 2005, the Notre Dame Forum has featured talks by leading authorities on complex issues related to immigration, sustainability, global health, the global marketplace, K-12 education and the role of faith in a pluralistic society. Each year, the forum spotlights a major issue that can serve as a focus for reflection and discussion across the University community.
