Visclosky Joins Donnelly, Indiana Delegation to Celebrate 170th Anniversary of Notre Dame

Washington, D.C. – In celebration of the 170th Anniversary of the founding of the University of Notre Dame, Congressman Visclosky signed his name in the Congressional Record alongside a speech submitted on behalf of the Indiana delegation by Congressman Joe Donnelly.

The University of Notre Dame was founded in South Bend, Indiana, on November 26, 1842. Congressman Visclosky, a graduate of the University, released the following statement in commemoration of the anniversary:

“When Father Edward Sorin founded the University of Notre Dame, he declared that it ‘will be one of the most powerful means for doing good in this country.’ The fulfillment of his vision can be seen today in the efforts of a student body from all 50 states and over 100 countries. Their educational, cultural, philanthropic, and athletic contributions to our country cannot be overstated. I remain proud to be a graduate of a university so dedicated to the principles of service and justice.”
