Discover, Discern
and Design Your Next Act
The Inspired Leadership Initiative (ILI) is for accomplished individuals from all disciplines (business, non-profit, and academic, to name a few) who have completed their chosen careers and wish to embark on a process of discovering, discerning and designing who they want to be in the next stage of their lives, taking advantage of the University's vast array of resources.
Accompanied by dedicated faculty and staff, ILI fellows have the unique opportunity to reflect on the past and shape the direction of their future, while also sharing wisdom, experience, and knowledge with the Notre Dame community.
What Would You Fight For?
ILI Cohort 1 alumnus Marty Whalen—along with co-founder Patrick Regan—had their extraordinary work with Crossroads Solar featured in the What Would You Fight For? series. While Crossroads Solar exemplifies what happens when experience meets purpose, Marty’s story is representative of a much broader community of ILI fellows actively tackling complex challenges across countless industries and communities worldwide.
