OPAC is dedicated to articulating and proclaiming the mission of the University of Notre Dame.

Through our work, we build relationships, promote a culture of communication, and engage the University and its audiences in the process — all in service to the goal of enhancing the perceptions of Notre Dame as a preeminent research institution with an unwavering commitment to undergraduate education and its Catholic identity.

Guided by principles of transparency, collaboration, and professional excellence, we create, enable, and direct internal and external communications using traditional media and emerging technologies.

The division works to bring a diversity of messages together to achieve a shared goal—superior communication that consistently reflects Notre Dame’s vision through the voice of each college, department, center, and institute.
