Only four years earlier, The Abraham Accords were signed, heralding a new era in relations between Israel and its Arab neighbors. While the Accords were seen by supporters as only a first step in regional normalization, they ignored the Palestinian question.
In addition to offering historical insight, the conversation also addressed where the rapidly unfolding events in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran might be heading in the future.

Goodwill saw this gap and launched the Excel Center, an adult, tuition-free adult charter school that also offers services like childcare and life coaching, to ensure the success of their students.
They saw what they believed was great success at their flagship, Indianapolis location, but they lacked data to help it grow, so they invited Notre Dame’s Wilson-Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities (LEO) to assess their program.
Its study showed graduates from the Excel Center saw a 40 percent increase in earnings in five years. Graduates were also more likely to move into jobs that became careers, and to support their families long-term.
Based on this data, states like Arizona have changed their legislation and pledged money to build Excel Centers.

We're identifying environmental impacts, developing new ways to measure and manage contaminated water supplies, and exploring new methods of treatment.
Working in collaboration with NOAA and Indiana's Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Miranda and her team of researchers found that underserved communities are exposed to PFAS levels up to ten times higher than the EPA regulations for drinking water—posing serious health risks.
This video reveals how PFAS contamination can lead to immunosuppression, various cancers, and decreased vaccine responses while showcasing the University of Notre Dame's research and environmental justice efforts to inform policymakers about this critical environmental issue.
This is the third video from the series "PFAS: The Forever Problem." Learn more at nd.edu/stories/pfas.
Doudrick and his team are working on innovative approaches to mitigate the impact of PFAS contamination. In this video, discover the ongoing efforts to regulate these substances and the promising technologies being developed at the University of Notre Dame aimed at reducing PFAS contamination.
This is the second of three videos from the series "PFAS: The Forever Problem." Learn more at nd.edu/stories/pfas.
In the first of a three-part video series titled "PFAS: The Forever Problem," we discuss how PFAS is quickly becoming one of the largest environmental problems the U.S. has ever faced and the cutting-edge techniques the University of Notre Dame is developing to measure and mitigate their impact on our environment and health.
At the University of Notre Dame, Lieberman and her team are working to develop a quick, low-cost test for fentanyl and other deadly drugs. While it won't end the opioid epidemic, it could have an immediate impact, preventing overdoses and giving people second chances they otherwise would not have.

Andrew had 15 broken teeth, and a traumatic brain injury. He broke his neck in three places, along with his top two ribs and his sternum. There was an open fracture on his arm. He broke his pelvis and his hip, fractured his tibia, and lost his right leg.
The doctors said he may not be able to stand up and crutch around for a year. Some thought he might have to go away to a full-time rehabilitation facility.
His actual progress shocked everyone but those close to him. He told his family that he wanted to return to Notre Dame in the fall, and that he planned to graduate with his classmates ... and on May 19, 2024, he did just that.
