Link is the Deputy Director of Religious and Community Activities in the Indiana Department of Correction and also serves as Chaplain of the Indiana State Prison.

Ann Firth Firth is the associate vice president for student affairs at the University of Notre Dame and a mother of five children. She has played a large role in the formulation of policies relating to residential and student life.

Rev. Daniel G. Groody C.S.C.’86, an associate professor of theology and the director of the Center for Latino Spirituality and Culture at the Institute for Latino Studies at the University of Notre Dame, will serve as moderator for the panelists, while Kathleen M.
