How do you answer the call to serve while juggling a full life? Join Notre Dame Women Connect for the 2026 edition of "Trading Stories,” our annual alumnae speaker series, to discover how three Notre Dame alumnae integrate purpose into professional roles, community efforts, and family life.
On Thursday, January 29, at 8:00 pm Eastern/ 5:00 pm Pacific (via Zoom), ND Women Connect presents “Trading Stories: Driven to Make a Difference — Answering the Call to Serve in Everyday Life.” Panelists Teresa Brito-Robinson PhD ‘97, a Notre Dame research biochemist who also trains students in therapies to assist others with autism based on her experience as a mom to a child with autism; Prisma Garcia ‘09, ‘10, a community leader and elected Dallas School Board member; and Kelley Tuthill ‘92, former journalist and CEO of Catholic Charities Boston, will explore their lifelong commitments to service rooted in their Notre Dame experience and faith. Hear how they weave service into the fabric of their lives, from major leadership roles to their local communities and their own families. Explore your own personal call to serve and how service can be woven into our already busy professional roles and family life.
