Connect with fellow ND alumni, parents and friends through your local ND club.
Today there are 267 local Notre Dame clubs around the world, connecting ND alumni and friends with each other and the University. The clubs offer a variety of programs and events, with a particular focus on scholarships for current students, community service, camaraderie, spirituality, continuing education, career networking, lectures featuring ND faculty and administrators, and much more.
The rich tradition of ND clubs goes back more than 110 years. The first Notre Dame club was founded in 1887, 18 years after the founding of the Alumni Association. The club was formed by alumni and friends in Chicago in response to the University's urgent need for funds to rebuild the Main Building after it was destroyed by fire.
Connect with ND alumni and friends in your area by becoming involved with you local ND Club. To locate an ND club, visit the U.S. Club Locator or the International Club Locator.
ND clubs host events ranging from community service projects to game watches to programs featuring ND faculty and administrators. Two very popular club events are Universal Notre Dame (UND) Celebrations and Hesburgh Lectures. For more information about these events, visit our Club Events page.

Each spring, the Alumni Association invites club, class and alumni group leaders back to campus for Alumni Senate, a three day conference to train our alumni volunteers. Attendees are updated on campus issues by University administrators, attend workshops and participate in regional, club size and class officer meetings.
