The tour will depart from the University of Notre Dame's campus and due to time <br /> constraints,the tour will focus mostly on the downtown area. The route features sites <br /> such as Memorial Hospital, Coveleski Stadium, Studebaker Museum, Center for History, <br /> Oliver Mansion, The College Football Hall of Fame, East Race Waterway, Century <br /> Center, and The Morris Performing Arts Center. <br /> Joshua Pasquesi, head of Notre Dame Student Government's Community <br /> Relations Committee, hopes that the tour will attract lots of Notre Dame freshmen. <br /> "We've worked hard to create an orientation to the City that we think will be useful to the <br /> incoming freshmen. We hope that we can dispel the notion that there is not a lot going <br /> on in South Bend by simply bringing students into the City and showing them that the <br /> City really does have a lot to offer. From kayaking on the East Race Waterway to the <br /> many unique local restaurants, there are a lot of great things for students to take <br /> advantage of in South Bend during their time at Notre Dame. I think that so many <br /> students just don't realize what is out there. I'm grateful for the collaboration between <br /> ND Student Government, the City of South Bend,ND Downtown, and the Convention <br /> and Visitors Bureau. Without their willingness to help,this tour would not be possible," <br /> Pasquesi said. <br /> Signups for the tour will be held Saturday night at Domerfest, an annual <br /> Freshman Orientation tradition. Pasquesi said he hopes that the "Explore South Bend <br /> Tour"will become an annual tradition for Freshman Orientation as well. <br /> - 30 - <br />
