This position offers the ability to have a lasting impact on the University of Notre Dame.

The Campus of the University of Notre Dame is comparable to a small town – offering everything from police services, fire protection, shopping, and world-class entertainment.

The Communications Officer utilizes a computer aided dispatch system to track all calls for service. Administrative phone lines, emergency phone lines, closed-circuit television, and various alarm systems are some of the tools that are utilized in day to day operations.
