Forever Learning Institute has long enjoyed a close relationship with the University of Notre Dame. Our founder, Rev. Louis Putz, C.S.C. lived and taught at Notre Dame his entire adult life. Throughout our history, we have been blessed to host numerous faculty, retired faculty, and alumni who have found Forever Learning to be a great outlet for their many gifts. University students have discovered Forever to be an excellent opportunity to engage with the local community in unexpected ways. This semester, members of the student club CS4Good taught a class entitled ‘Internet Safety and Communication’ at Forever Learning. Each week Rebecca Hunt, Jane Stallman, Andrew Pelham and Isaiah Michael Alvendia assisted our students with password hygiene, scam detection, privacy protection and social media. Students from the club have also assisted in our basic computing classes. University students have taught origami, Mandarin and assisted us with setup and cleanup of fundraising events.

It is with heavy hearts that we need to announce the passing of our beloved board member, teacher, and friend, Br. Paul Kelly, C.S.C. His sweet, gentle nature and fantastic cooking skills will be missed by us all. Please remember him and his family in your prayers.
