Former Speaker of the US House of Representatives Paul Ryan joined the Notre Dame faculty as a professor of the practice as a guest lecturer in political science and economics. Other recent professor-of-the-practice appointees are former US Sen. Joe Donnelly and former White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough. Like Ryan, they bring experience at the senior-most levels of government, providing Notre Dame students with firsthand knowledge and insights that are difficult to find elsewhere.
