History
The Ross Program is named after Professor Arnold Ross, who created the program at the University of Notre Dame in 1957 and ran it every summer until 2000 when Dan Shapiro took over after Arnold Ross had health problems. The central goal of the Ross Program has always been to instruct and encourage bright young students in the art of abstract thinking and to inspire them to discover for themselves that abstract ideas are valuable and important. The program's motto has become: "Think deeply of simple things."
