| The Science Exploration Series Posted: 30 Sep 2014 10:38 AM PDT Join distinguished faculty of the College of Science in the Jordan Hall of Science as they discuss the universe from the stars to the oceans. "Fans from all over the country come to enjoy the unique Notre Dame Game Day experience. By attending a short academic talk during the weekend, fans enhance their Notre Dame experience and gain an appreciation for how our student athletes balance academics and athletics every day, and learn about our aspiration of being a top research university in the world, bringing a unique, mission-based perspective." says College of Science Dean, Gregory Crawford. Before every home football game, the Saturday Science Exploration Series is sure to inspire a fascination with our world as visitors learn about the University’s innovative approach to science. Dr. Crawford coordinates the series which takes place every home game weekend from 12:00 p.m.- 1:00 p.m. in room 101 of the Jordan Hall of Science. "Through the Science Exploration Series, football fans learn about the exciting research taking place across the University of Notre Dame. Our faculty, who are world renowned experts in their fields, explain relevant and globally important research such as solar power efficiency and early warning technologies that can help predict when and where violence will occur. It is our hope that visitors will take the knowledge that they've gained about Notre Dame research, and share it in their own communities." Be sure to stop by the Jordan Hall of Science to spend part of your Saturday exploring science. Saturday’s LectureKeith Davis, Ph.D. “DVT Presentation: From the Sun above to the Supercollider Underground: How studying the smallest things teaches us about the largest” The answers from machines such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva teach us about the basic building blocks of matter, but the realms of energies it studies don’t happen anywhere else on Earth. Dr. Davis will use the Digital Visualization Theater to show the audience how the LHC gathers answers about the nature of matter, and how that greater understanding applies to various targets within the universe and the big bang itself. This presentation will be held in the Digital Visualization Theater (DVT) in 100 Jordan Hall of Science.

| A Moment of Clarity: The Grotto Posted: 30 Sep 2014 06:50 AM PDT The Grotto at Notre Dame is one of the most breathtaking places in America. This replica of the Grotto of Our Lady in Lourdes, France, has become a very popular devotional location on campus. With more than 225,000 candles lit per year, people of all faiths travel to find peace in this place of quiet reflection. When asked how many visitors the grotto has each year Basilica Sacristan John Zack replied, “We have never kept a count of how many visitors come to the Grotto each year. It’s really impossible. I do know that I've been through there at all hours of the day and night, in all kinds of weather and, more than likely, there is someone down there praying.” On home football weekends, fans come from all across the country to light a candle and say a quick prayer at this holy site. “We use approximately 7200 of the glass candles, but due to the limited space for those, we have started this year putting out smaller candles so more people have a chance to light a candle” says, Zack. It is difficult, in fact, to find a Notre Dame faithful who does not possess at least one memory of the Grotto’s silent beauty. “For a sports fan, visiting Notre Dame for a football weekend is like a pilgrimage. You go there to be a part of something bigger. To be a part of the tradition. To be a part of history. But there’s something more, something higher involved. Hard to explain, but when you’re here, whether you’re religious or not, I think you can feel it. No football weekend would be complete without a visit to this peaceful shrine that sits in the shadow of the Golden Dome.” Be sure to complete your weekend on campus by spending a few quiet moments at one one of the beautiful wonders of the University of Notre Dame, The Grotto  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
