The University of Notre Dame du Lac (or simply Notre Dame) is a private, non-profit Catholic research university located adjacent to South Bend, Indiana, in the United States.[7] The main campus covers 1,250 acres (510 ha) in a suburban setting and it contains a number of recognizable landmarks, such as the Golden Dome, the « Word of Life » mural (commonly known as Touchdown Jesus), the Notre Dame Stadium, and the Basilica. The school was founded on November 26, 1842, by Father Edward Sorin, CSC, who was also its first president.

Notre Dame is consistently recognized as one of the top universities in the world, in particular for its undergraduate education. Undergraduate students are organized into six colleges, Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering, Business, Architecture and Global Affairs.

The university counts approximately 134,000 alumni, considered among the strongest alumni networks among U.S. colleges.
