Shadow Program - Fall 2026

Eighth graders are paired with a Notre Dame student host for a firsthand look at life at ND. Each shadow visit includes a welcome and application overview from the Admissions Team, two to three college-prep classes, and lunch with the ND community. Visits are offered August through December, and space fills quickly.
