🌻Welcome to ProfouND!

ProfouND is an employee resource group at Notre Dame dedicated to supporting faculty and staff with visible and invisible disabilities—as well as those who care for or advocate alongside them.

Our name reflects our purpose: to foster profound understanding, cultivate connection, and drive meaningful impact.

Whether you’re navigating a disability, supporting a loved one, or simply want to learn and advocate, ProfouND offers a space where you can be seen, heard, and understood.

Together, we are creating a more inclusive and accessible Notre Dame—one conversation, connection, and collective action at a time.

What We Do

  • Build community through shared experience and support.
  • Promote awareness and education around disability and neurodivergence.
  • Advocate for an inclusive and accessible campus culture.
  • Celebrate the unique talents and contributions of all members of the ND family.

"Raising awareness and building strong advocacy for people who learn and work differently helps us all work (and exist) better."

Join the ProfouND community! Membership is open to all faculty, staff, and administrators employed by the University of Notre Dame. You will also be subscribed to our mailing list to stay in-the-know on ProfouND events, updates, and resources.
