    Fr. Bob Dowd: Education, Bridged.

    A funny thing happened on the way to creating this podcast with Fr. Bob…  When we first went to record this episode, he was vice president and associate provost for interdisciplinary initiatives. In that role, he oversaw the Institute for Educational Initiatives, among other wonderful institutes and centers on campus.  Then, in December 2023, the University’s Board of Trustees elected Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., as Notre Dame’s 18th president. Fr. Bob graciously re-joined us in-studio so we could get everyone up to speed, so to speak, and hear from Fr. Bob himself about when he first got the news and how humbled he is to serve in his new role as priest-president. https://president.nd.edu/
