Help Shape the Academic Journey of Notre Dame Students
Founded in 2021, the Transformational Leaders Program (TLP) at the University of Notre Dame supports first-generation, differently prepared, and low-income scholar leaders, providing comprehensive academic, professional, social, and spiritual support throughout their time on campus. Each TLP student is paired with an Education and Outreach Specialist, who is part academic mentor, coach, and navigator. Through this personal accompaniment, dedicated community space, and collaboration with partners across campus, TLP builds cohorts of student leaders who support one another’s academic and post-graduate success at the intersection of career and vocation.
TLP is housed and supported within the Center for Academic Transformation and Excellence (CATE), a transformative new initiative within the Office of Undergraduate Education that will open to undergraduate students in Fall 2026. CATE represents a bold step forward in Notre Dame’s commitment to providing an unsurpassed undergraduate education that responds to the evolving needs of students and society.
Serving as a central hub for students across all colleges, schools, and class years, CATE provides accessible learning resources, academic engagement services, individualized advising, academic mentoring, and holistic support. Through peer-facilitated study groups, scholar programs, and personalized guidance, CATE helps students engage deeply in their academic experiences while navigating their educational journeys with confidence and purpose.
By bringing together programs and services that previously operated independently, CATE creates a more coordinated and student-centered approach to academic support. Under the leadership of an Executive Director, the Center enhances the accessibility, effectiveness, and efficiency of critical academic engagement and support services, ultimately improving the student experience across the University.
