Campus Map
The meeting May 20 and 21 of NATO leaders in nearby Chicago overlaps with Notre Dame’s Commencement Weekend and could cause travel, lodging, and other logistical complications for graduates and their family and friends. Chicago officials are fully prepared to host the NATO meeting and most of the city will be accessible. However, with thousands of diplomats, media, protesters, and others in the city, there is potential for transportation delays and a lack of hotel space, and we suggest you stay abreast of developments and build in some extra time if your plans take you to or through Chicago.
You may also use the interactive events map to create your own weekend agenda and map the locations.
