The new Notre Dame Fund to Protect Human Life will be conducted under the auspices of the University of Notre Dame's Center for Ethics and Culture. The purpose of the fund is “to educate Notre Dame students in the rich intellectual tradition supporting the dignity of human life, specifically in its beginning stages, and to prepare those students - through personal witness, public service and prayer - to transform the culture into one in which every human life is respected.” Dr. David Solomon, Notre Dame philosophy professor and head of the Center for Ethics and Culture, announced to Life Site News the plan to utilize the fund to create a new academic program. “Our big plan,” said Solomon, “which I think is very exciting - we want to start a two-year volunteer program at Notre Dame, where students can volunteer to do pro-life work in a crisis pregnancy center, or work for a diocese or a Catholic school, and we would give them three summers of training - legal, theology, philosophy, [etc.],” Following two years of work, the plan is for candidates to receive a Master’s degree related to their field of volunteer work.
