Health and Wellness Resources
UNIVERSITY COUNSELING CENTER (UCC)
The UCC is able to provide tele-mental health services in a growing number of states. If you are living internationally or in a state where the UCC is unable to provide tele-services, UCC staff are available for a phone consultation to help address immediate concerns and consider resources that could be available in your area. Learn more about finding a local community provider here.
The UCC also offers a new 24/7 HELPLINE, 574-631-TALK, that is available to all students regardless of your current location. While this line is not for ongoing counseling, counselors are available to talk with Notre Dame students about immediate concerns and can help with referral resources.
MCDONALD CENTER FOR STUDENT WELL-BEING (MCWELL)
As the semester ends, you may be faced with losses on multiple levels. Download the Building Resilience in Times of Lose: Making Meaning worksheet for tips on how to work through these feelings and find meaning as you cope.
Additionally, if you're looking to keep yourself occupied this summer, consider exploring new hobbies and learning new skills, and be on the lookout for a Summer Camp from McWell and GROW peer educators on our social media channels (@McWellND). Please also be sure to visit the McWell website for additional well-being resources.
RECSPORTS
RecSports has partnered with Wellbeats to gain access to the same on-demand fitness classes offered in the private fitness studios in the Smith Center for Recreational Sports.

Faith Resources
NEED TO TALK THIS SUMMER?
As the semester ends, there are likely a variety of things weighing on your mind and heart. Please know that even during the summer months, Campus Ministry is here for you. You may want to share how you are dealing with the unknown, the losses big and small, or wondering whether the pandemic is affecting your relationships and how to navigate this time spiritually. Whatever needs attention now and throughout the summer, please know a campus minister is available. Either set up a time to video chat or email Mike Urbaniak.
BIBLE STUDY SMALL GROUPS CONTINUE THIS SUMMER
Students are invited to join a Bible Study to connect with others and discuss God's message in Scripture. No previous experience with the Bible is needed - just an open heart. If interested, please email Brett Perkins.
GRIEF SUPPORT
During this unprecedented time, students may experience grief associated with the death of a loved one due to COVID-19. Please know members of Campus Ministry's pastoral care team are ready and available to provide support. If you would like to speak with a campus minister or learn more about grief resources, please email Tami Schmitz.
Career Development
SUPPORTING RECENT GRADUATES
Class of 2020, your career support doesn’t stop at graduation. Notre Dame is always here for you.
The Meruelo Family Center for Career Development continues to provide career counseling services for up to a year after graduation. The Career Support for Recent Graduates section of our website contains a wealth of information to help at any stage of your career development process.
One year after graduation, career services for all Notre Dame alumni are provided by the Notre Dame Alumni Association. For more specific information on career support from the Alumni Association, please click here.
ONGOING SUMMER SUPPORT AND SERVICES
Our staff recognizes this summer may be challenging for many students. Any experience is meaningful, and employers will acknowledge that internships were not as plentiful during this time. However, you will be asked about how you spent your summer. Consider the narrative you want to tell about what you did during this time.
Utilize the resources on our website to create a plan and continue searching for opportunities:
Throughout the summer, we will have a number of services and programs available on Handshake, including:
- One-on-One Career Counseling Appointments
- Skill building and informational workshops
- Employer and Alumni Events
- Live Chat Service: Available Monday through Friday from 1 to 4 p.m.
