About Us
Our Mission
ProfouND exists to foster connection, understanding, and empowerment among Notre Dame employees with disabilities—both visible and invisible—and their allies. Our mission is to help each member feel seen, heard, and supported in every aspect of their journey.
Who We Are
We are faculty and staff. We are parents, caregivers, and allies. Some of us have long known our diagnosis. Others are newly navigating neurodivergence or disability in adulthood. What unites us is a shared desire to connect, learn, and create a better working world for all.
What We Do
- Build Belonging: Create a safe, supportive space to share experiences and celebrate wins.
- Raise Awareness: Promote understanding of disability and neurodivergence.
- Foster Growth: Share resources for self-understanding, career development, and advocacy.
- Drive Change: Help Notre Dame become more accessible, inclusive, and just.
