All-Faculty Team
Notre Dame has a long history of outstanding student-athletes being named to All-America teams. We thought it was time for some of our most outstanding professors to receive similar recognition.
Enter the Notre Dame All-Faculty Team.
At home football games and during the Shamrock Series, the provost will honor a different member of the faculty. These individuals have been chosen from across the University for their excellence in research, teaching, and service to Notre Dame.
Information about each member of the All-Faculty Team will be added to this page shortly before the game at which she or he is being honored. We hope you’ll come back throughout the season to learn more about these truly exceptional scholars.
Meet the 2017 All-Faculty Team

Ed Maginn
Dorini Family Professor of Energy Studies in the College of Engineering,
Chair of the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular EngineeringSep 02 vs. Temple
“This is a wonderful environment to be a scholar and a teacher because those two activities—scholarship and teaching—are valued and integrated in a purposeful manner. Notre Dame also takes seriously the idea of a university, to borrow Newman’s words, as a place where various intellectual disciplines come together to seek the truth and to make students better, more well-rounded people.”

At Notre Dame, I have the opportunity to engage with highly qualified students who have experienced not just business training but also a broad liberal arts education, and who want to use business to make a difference in the world.”

“The unique great privilege of being a faculty member at the University of Notre Dame is to teach, pursue, and serve truth within a Catholic community that unites persons of different ages, roles, scholarly disciplines, and points of view as equals before God while grounding the academic vocation itself in nature, history, and divine generosity.”
