Welcome to the impact.nd.edu website, where you may access an executive summary of “The Economic Impact of the University of Notre Dame: South Bend, St. Joseph County, and Indiana”. This study, commissioned every five years, provides an overview of the University’s volunteer contribution to local organizations, jobs created for area residents, and overall fiscal impact on our economy. The enclosed study was conducted by Appleseed Economic Consultants, a firm that provides economic and social research and analysis, economic development planning, and strategic program development services.

The University of Notre Dame remains a committed partner to the many governmental agencies, corporations, small businesses, and citizens of St. Joseph County. Even through such difficult and challenging financial times, we are encouraged by the collaboration and innovative new ideas generated by community leaders. These efforts and partnerships can ensure that the University of Notre Dame and community in which we reside continue to grow and prosper.

Yours in Notre Dame,
