Interest Groups

Interest groups are for Notre Dame faculty and staff members who would like to connect through common interests with other young leaders within the ND community. If a group is open to the broader community, it will be noted in the group details. In order to join an Interest Group, just click the links below. You'll automatically be added to that group's Google group which will be the primary means of communication to all about upcoming dates to meet up!

Goals for YLND Interest Groups: 

  • Connect members with others who share common interests
  • Provide an online resource for ND faculty or staff members to easily connect with the campus community

YLND Interest Groups are NOT:

  • NOT for promotion of your personal business (see Conflict of Interest policy)
  • NOT for marketing merchandise or services
  • This is NOT a fully managed forum. We provide an opportunity for members of the ND community to connect with one another, but we do not manage the resulting interactions in any way. Please use appropriate discretion in all interactions and remember the YLND Groups Policy at the bottom of this page.
