“I absolutely loved my time as an MA student in the Notre Dame English Department. My years there helped me grow personally and professionally and prepared me well to teach English at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Not only were the academic standards challenging, but the care and dedication that I received from my professors and peers were extraordinary.”
