NOTRE DAME, INDIANA
Beginning November 19, 2020, the Saint Mary’s campus—which includes all Sisters of the Holy Cross and Saint Mary’s College properties—will be a smoke-free and tobacco-free environment. With this status, all tobacco use, including the use of any electronic smoking devices or hookahs will be prohibited.
Sisters of the Holy Cross, Inc., joined with the college for this initiative, which honors the well-being of each person on our campus and demonstrates our continued and shared commitment to environmental care. For members of Sisters, Inc., who would like to quit tobacco use, courses, counseling and stop smoking aids are available for cessation support.
We ask all campus residents and visitors to comply with this initiative, detailed in the Sisters, Inc., policy and a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) shared below.
We appreciate your cooperation in this effort as we strive to create a healthy environment for work, ministry, life and study!
Gratefully,
Sister M. Veronique (Wiedower), CSC
President, Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Cross
