Connor Hincks

My name is Connor Hincks, and I am a graduate student in the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame. I graduated from Notre Dame in 2024 and am proud to continue my journey at this incredible institution. Originally from Western Springs, IL, I grew up a passionate Notre Dame fan, inspired by the tradition and excellence the university represents. Attending Notre Dame and having the opportunity to compete as a member of the Fighting Irish baseball team is truly a dream come true. This experience has taught me invaluable lessons in perseverance, leadership, and the importance of working toward a shared goal. Beyond academics and athletics, I have a strong interest in health, fitness, photography, and personal well-being. I am passionate about finding ways to optimize both physical and mental performance, and I enjoy exploring how small, consistent improvements can lead to meaningful growth. Notre Dame has been a central part of my journey, shaping not only my career aspirations but also my commitment to living a balanced and purposeful life.
