The O’Brien Notre Dame International Security Center (ONDISC) experts fall into one of three categories: O’Brien Center Principals are core faculty who help run the Center; ONDISC Faculty Affiliates are Notre Dame Faculty or Staff who make a substantial contribution to the life of the Center on campus; and ONDISC Associates are non-Notre Dame individuals who advance the Center's mission beyond campus. ONDISC also houses Notre Dame Graduate Fellows, Hans J. Morgenthau pre-doctoral and post-doctoral fellows, and War College fellows as well as Undergraduate Fellows.
