This year’s tour will take place today, <br />th <br />August 24from 5 p.m. to approximately 6:30 p.m. <br /> What began four years ago as an idea developed by the Mayor’s Office and Notre Dame <br />Student Government has now grown into an event that welcomes students from four local <br />colleges and universities and involves numerous community institutions? Transpo will continue <br />to play a large role by providing buses for the 250 students expected to participate from the <br />University of Notre Dame, St. Mary’s College, Indiana University South Bend, and Holy Cross <br />College. The tours will be led by volunteer guides from the community who will introduce the <br />students to the numerous attractions along the tour route as well as their own experiences living <br />in South Bend. <br /> Mayor of South Bend, Steve Luecke, “for four years now, we’ve had the opportunity to <br />welcome and introduce new students to all that South Bend offers as the regional center for arts, <br />culture, sports, and entertainment, business, commerce, education and health. Our hope for this <br />event is that it is the only the beginning of students’ experience in South Bend. We encourage <br />and invite all of these students to seek out the attractions and local businesses they learn about <br />on the tour and to explore the many facets of South Bend.” <br />-more- <br /> <br />
