.
The program makes use of the Internet, interactive videoconferences, and numerous distance learning technologies to offer courses in theology and spiritual life to interested Catholic lay people, pastoral ministers and other believers nationwide and beyond. STEP is among the most successful programs of the University’s Institute for Church Life (ICL), whose expressed mission is to deploy Notre Dame’s ample academic resources as “a witness-bearing leadership role in the life of the Church at large.” STEP offers 50 specifically designed online courses, most of them taught by Notre Dame’s faculty members.
Tuition is reduced for members of the Diocese of Brooklyn.

The esteemed law firm of Kaye Scholer, LLP located in the heart of Midtown was recently the site of a social entrepreneurship challenge hosted by the Middy Fund, and featuring middle school students from St. Elizabeth Catholic Academy. The students presented ideas for websites, apps and programs which they had designed to eradicate problems they face in their lives. Students delivered their presentations to an audience of 100; many of whom were leaders in finance, education and successful entrepreneurs.
