The University of Notre Dame's Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) is sending four of its "teachers" into the Richmond (VA) Diocese this month. In its 16th year of serving Catholic education in America, ACE will place 180 young teachers, who are completing their masters of education degrees at Notre Dame, into Catholic dioceses across the nation. These teachers come from some 50 undergraduate schools, including Notre Dame, and commit to two years of service at primarily city and rural Catholic elementary and high schools. In addition, ACE has 48 students enrolled in the Mary Ann Remick Leadership Program, a master’s degree program that prepares aspiring leaders to be principals and superintendents for Catholic schools. The "brain-child" of Co-Founders; Fr. Tim Scully, C.S.C. and Fr. Sean McGraw, C.S.C., ACE is a great example of Notre Dame "giving back" to the Catholic Church in America. Here's a story in the Richmond Times-Dispatch about ACE coming to town.
