Founded in 2014, the Keough School plays a pivotally important role for Notre Dame. The University’s purpose is to be a force for good in the world. To that end, Keough School faculty, staff, and students pursue understanding of, and solutions to, some of the world’s most pressing challenges, including poverty, war, disease, political oppression, democratic erosion, environmental degradation, and other threats to human dignity. Keough’s eight institutes and one center are bound together by the School’s mission: to advance integral human development, a concept drawn from Catholic social thought which promotes the flourishing of every person and the whole person, so that all people can reach their full potential. This mission encompasses both fundamental research and policy applications.

In its founding decade, the School has established a strong record of success. It offers a Master of Global Affairs—a two-year professional degree—and a newly-established undergraduate major in global affairs, as well as doctoral programs jointly sponsored by the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies and relevant departments within Notre Dame’s College of Arts and Letters. Jenkins and Nanovic Halls, a pair of conjoined buildings, opened their doors in 2018 and house the Keough School.

The Keough School recently issued its Strategic Plan 2030.

Against this backdrop, Notre Dame seeks a Dean who will elevate the impact of the School and champion its distinctive identity; consolidate and expand its achievements; develop effective intellectual and programmatic connections across the University and beyond; ensure the organizational health of the School; and attract the social, political, and financial resources to advance the School’s work.
