Join us for our annual UND Celebration on Thursday, June 11, 2026!

This year we’re rolling out the gold carpet for one of the most iconic figures in Fighting Irish athletics today: Kevin Corrigan, Notre Dame’s Baumer Family Head Men’s Lacrosse Coach! And ☘️🚨breaking news🚨☘️ - we’re honoring Ed Graham ‘74 with the NDCOC Hall of Fame Award!

Coach Corrigan just finished his 38th season on the Fighting Irish sideline in 2025-26 and is the longest active tenured coach in men’s lacrosse at the Division I level. Since his arrival on campus in 1988, Corrigan has built Notre Dame into one of the premier men’s lacrosse programs in the country, delivering the Irish back-to-back national titles, their first two in program history, in 2023 and 2024. He boasts a 373-168 (.689) record during his impressive Notre Dame tenure. He owns the NCAA Division I record for the most victories at a single school in men’s lacrosse history. Corrigan was recently named 2026 ACC Coach of the Year. The Irish finished the regular season ranked #1 and just lost a tough match to Princeton in the NCAA National Championship game on Memorial Day.

NDCOC Hall of Fame Award: We are thrilled to announce that in lieu of the annual NDCOC Person of the Year Award, this year we will be inducting just our fourth honoree into the NDCOC Hall of Fame. We will be honoring former longtime NDCOC Board member and coordinator of our decades-long Breakfast Club at the Southwest Community Center (SWCC) Ed Graham ‘74 with the NDCOC Hall of Fame Award. Whether you know Ed personally or through his 38 years of tireless volunteer service to the SWCC, you know how well-deserved this award is. Please join us in celebrating Ed during the evening.

Tickets are going fast! Don’t wait - for more information and to register, please see the link in bio or https://my.nd.edu/events/249429.
