Carolyn Donohue ’86, M’89

I just had such a pleasant experience at the college. The instructors cared about us. They would coach you along with your assignments if you were having problems. I realized that this is possible: you can have a full-time job and a family and still do this, so it just motivated me to stay on. Thirty-five years after her graduation with a bachelor’s degree, Carolyn’s Notre Dame story is still being written. She continues to thrive at the place that gave her the confidence and motivation to realize her dreams in education.
