I would have liked to study there as an undergraduate, if only to take classes from Father Linden. He doesn't know it, but he's a big part of why I moved here. One of his former students (a then-student at ND Law) led an Environmental Justice seminar that included a week in New Orleans in March 2006. We had dinner with him, a dinner that went very late into the night, talking about Catholic Social Teaching and the poor and the storm and radical responses to injustice. I had never met anyone who was able to explain all the connections so clearly. He literally changed my life. You are lucky to work at such an institution! Xavier is a great place.
