Ryan Hall
Established in 2009, Ryan Hall is named in honor of the Ryan family and was built in the spirit of accommodation and accessibility for students with disabilities. With signature events such as Wheelchair Basketball, Relay for Life, and Caring Cats Clothing Collection to benefit St. Vincent de Paul Society of St. Joseph County, the women of Ryan are dedicated to serving the local South Bend community. One major tradition in Ryan occurs every Tuesday night when Ryan Hall’s Priest-in-Residence, Fr. Joe Carey, C.S.C., hosts Ryan Hall residents for “FJ’s," an ice cream and cookie social in his apartment in which all treats are baked from scratch. Ryan was last named Hall of the Year in 2013-2014.
Rector
Lucia Sgroi
Lucia Sgroi serves as the Megan K. Crowley Rector of Ryan Hall.
Born and raised in South Bend, Indiana, Lucia has been cheering for the Irish her whole life. She graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2024 with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Studio Art. While at Notre Dame, she was involved with the Institute for Social Concerns, participating in immersion trips in the Appalachia region, working on projects throughout the South Bend community, and serving for a summer at the Robinson Community Learning Center. She also served as a Notre Dame Vision mentor through the McGrath Institute for Church Life, which sparked her love for ministry and sharing her faith. After graduation, Lucia pursued a Master’s degree in Theology through Notre Dame's Echo Graduate Service Program, serving at St. John the Baptist Parish in Plymouth, Wisconsin (Cheese Capital of the World). There, she worked primarily with youth and young adults and found great joy in these ministries. In her free time, Lucia enjoys car karaoke, any sort of arts and crafts, attempting to cook new recipes, walking with or FaceTiming friends and family, and playing (most) sports.
