In August, 10 students embarked on a long journey taking them from the Eastern Europe to the middle of Indiana. Olha Droniak, a junior from Ivano-Frankivsk, a town about two hours away from Lviv, recalled being very excited about arriving at Notre Dame, but very exhausted by the travel. “Because of the war, we don’t
