As an integral part of Notre Dame International’s global network, the Global Gateway in Jerusalem aspires to be an entrepreneurial, diverse and influential academic platform that leaves a positive and lasting impact on the region through a menu of initiatives that also offer opportunities for Notre Dame students and faculty to explore and learn in Jerusalem and beyond. The Gateways create unique o
pportunities for Notre Dame to engage the world and the world to engage Notre Dame through scholarly collaboration, undergraduate and graduate study, as well as cooperative programs with governments, foundations, corporations, alumni, parents, and friends of the University. The University of Notre Dame at Tantur (UNDT) was introduced in 2018, unifying and facilitating the academic initiatives of the Tantur Ecumenical Institute (TEI) and the Jerusalem Global Gateway (JGG) on behalf of the University’s efforts in the Holy Land. Since 1985, undergraduate students from Notre Dame have studied in the Holy Land and lived at Tantur. The undergraduate program was formalized in 2014 through the establishment of the JGG, and today the undergraduate program is a flagship program of the University of Notre Dame at Tantur. Other programs facilitated through UNDT include faculty research, academic conferences and workshops for Notre Dame faculty, international scholars and local collaborators, sabbatical opportunities, and partnerships building and joint research opportunities with regional universities, faith-based institutions, and NGOs. The University of Notre Dame at Tantur is one of eleven global locations led by Notre Dame International. Learn more about our projects: https://jerusalem.nd.edu/programs/
