  • Governor Chris Christie, the 55th and current Governor of New Jersey, will serve as the keynote speaker at this symposium hosted by the Notre Dame Law Review.

  • Notre Dame welcomed four of the most prominent voices in K–12 education reform for an honest conversation on the extraordinary challenges and opportunities facing our nation’s schools and schoolchildren.

  • The 2011–12 Notre Dame Forum began with an interactive address led by Jeb Bush, Florida’s former governor and founder of the Foundation for Excellence in Education.

At a time when discouraging stories dominate media coverage of K–12 education, there are inner-city schools that are graduating each of their students and seeing an overwhelming percentage of them go on to college. “Reimagining School” challenges us to reflect on ways to bring positive change to the nation’s youth through the betterment of the U.S. school system.
