Now in its 13th season, the University’s What Would You Fight For series highlights the impressive work of Notre Dame students, faculty and staff. This week's story highlights a unique partnership between the School of Architecture and St. Michael Indian School on the Navajo Nation in Arizona. Together, they’re designing and constructing a future for Native American children.
Notre Dame architecture students are classically trained in architecture, with an emphasis on shared building traditions of the world, respecting regional and cultural expression, so when Dot Teso, the president of St. Michael Indian School on the Navajo Nation, wanted to expand her campus, Notre Dame was excited to engage with the community.
