walking inspiration when most people were frantically studying for finals last spring, Jake Teitgen was making a video entitled An Ode to Body Painting to get his friends excited for the upcoming footlMll season that was still over three months away. )ake is passionate about many things, one of them being body painting. Over the past two years, Jake has become the Master of Body Paint, organizing as many as 40+ friends to paint up for home football games. Not only did Jake plan all of the phrases and shop for the paint, but he also delivered pre-game pump up speeches that would ■ make Knute ' s eyes water with pride. Body painting is not the only thing that Jake approaches with energy and passion; Jake is a leader in Circle K, a captain of the crew team, a dedicated marketing major, a two time NDVision leader, and a caring friend. Jake has served as treasurer, president, and president emeritus of Circle K. He began his tenure on the board with spirit and determination, starting a new project with the elderly nuns at Queen of Peace. Along with other students, Jake visits these women every week, and plans creative, engaging events, including dances and a pep rally, for everyone to enjoy. Begem Lee has served with Jake and explains that He is always willing to lend a helping hand and is one of the most responsible, caring, and giving individuals I know. He never fails to give of himself and inspires many others to do the same. In addition to all of the many activities he is involved in, Jake is a fun and caring friend. Pat Reidy explained that being with Jake makes you want to be better, have more fun, and do better things. Similarly, Erin O ' Neill is grateful to have Jake as a friend: No matter how gray a day I could be having, just talking to him brightens my outlook, because he has such energy and zest. Through his dedication to service, academics, athletics, and friends, Jake is a walking model of what a Notre Dame student should be. story by Mary Schubert jakp teitgea aul Matthew Tassinari Domenic Tassoni Kimberly Tavarez erospace Engineering Mechanical Engineering Sociology Spanish Zachary Taylor Theology Preprofessional Studies Rebecca H.

Tully Bradley Turek Alan Turner Theology Finance English Science Science Aerospace Engineering Preprofessional Studies Psychology Preprofessional Preprofessional passion for life Just a few weeks after returning from a semester studying in Italy, Liz Ven- ditto was hit with some shocking and scary news — she had ovarian cancer. She spent the summer of 2007 in and out of the hospital, going through surgery and chemotherapy. Despite such intensive medical procedures she endured, Venditto returned to Notre Dame as planned to begin her senior year in the fall of 2007. Friend and fellow PE Pyro Natalie Rodden, pictured to the left of Liz in the photo, was with Venditto and her family through the experience and greatly admires her adversity. Liz had lost much of her energy and didn ' t have hair, but she did not lose her love for her faith, her campus, and for lite. She is such an inspiration to me and all the others who journeyed through this. Venditto ' s strength had allowed her to return to a place she had called home for three years prior and a place she ' s loved and contrib- uted to in many ways during her college career. Being a true New Yorker, out of Staten Island, she has a love for art and museums. She has spent summers working at Manhattan museums, and worked at the visitors desk of the Snite Museum since her freshman year at Notre Dame. Besides this job, she also was a tour guide for the Office of Under- graduate Admissions since sophomore year. Venditto has been involved with Sustained Dialogue, and served as a moderator for the group. She also was a member of the Women ' s Liturgical Choir. She is a History and Romance Language major, and speaks Italian and French fluently. She also has a minor in European studies. Seems like a lot for one person, but Venditto has handled it all, even after hard battle versus cancer. According to Rodden, Liz truly is an inspiration for her faith, her attitude, and passion for life. storvbv Teresa H.mcock elizabeth venditto 323
