Megan Wrappe
“Cradle-domer” Megan Wrappe has found the memory of her father alive and well in her encounters with the Notre Dame family.
I applied to the Master of Nonprofit Administration program last September, and I was admitted to Notre Dame in November of 2022. Being accepted to Notre Dame was a true full-circle moment for me, and I’ve decided to dedicate my Notre Dame journey to my dad. I may not have attended Notre Dame when he was alive, but now as a student here, I keep his memory alive daily as I make my own Notre Dame memories.
“Tonight is Christmas Eve, one of the holiest nights of the year. It is a night when we gather in our churches and homes to remember Christ’s birth and celebrate how his incarnation changed the world. The key to Christmas is togetherness — that we can share and openly celebrate what we care about the most. This is the gift of Christmas and the gift that Notre Dame has given me throughout my life.”

What a profound, beautiful and moving legacy story about Megan’s Notre Dame family. My husband was her dad’s roommate in Zahm. Dan was a great guy and would be so proud of Megan’s continuing the Notre Dame tradition!

Thank you for sharing your sacred story. It reminded me of love and support I received from my Dad’s ND classmates when he passed, and how they welcomed me into their ND family. Your Dad is truly proud of you. Have a Blessed Christmas and Keep the Faith.
I knew your dad and heard his voice in your story. Carry on.
