Why the Keough School teaches integral human development

BridgeND | Wednesday, April 19, 2023

Borrowing words from Confucius: “If your plan is for one year, plant rice. If your plan is for ten years, plant trees. If your plan is for one hundred years, educate children.” As I asserted in my previous op-ed, accessible and quality education is essential in closing the technological and knowledge gaps within societies.

Sharpening isn’t comfortable

BridgeND | Wednesday, April 5, 2023

The past 72 hours have been a blur. Alongside the typical slew of exams and papers, pretty much every organization that I’m involved in decided to hold a large event.  A few of the highlights: Thursday, I was a moderator for Bridge the Gap, a series of small group roundtable discussions hosted by BridgeND. Covering

The South is not a lost cause. I am not a lost cause.

BridgeND | Wednesday, March 22, 2023

Whether or not it is wholly acknowledged, identity plays an integral role in our interactions with both society and ourselves. Seeking to ascribe definite messages to the intangible aspects of personhood and identity cannot be ignored; it must be reckoned with. However, the manner in which this internal and external recognition is accomplished is not

Turning political apathy into empathy

BridgeND | Wednesday, March 8, 2023

I have been asked on numerous occasions about the political makeup of Notre Dame’s campus. Typically, my response is something along the lines of: “We have very passionate advocates at both ends of the spectrum, but many people fall somewhere in the middle.” There are two main reasons for this. On the one hand, some

Governing beyond the R’s and D’s

BridgeND | Wednesday, February 22, 2023

I was watching Bill Maher’s show “Real Time” recently when Mr. Maher mentioned something that caught me by surprise: Numerous Republican governors in deep blue states have enjoyed indisputable success over the past half decade. According to Morning Consult, the three most popular governors in the U.S. last year — measured by approval ratings —

Let’s let our emotions get in the way of politics

BridgeND | Wednesday, February 8, 2023

Many will say that with 2022 finally behind us, we have an opportunity to start anew and forget about the past; to move on and ignore the years of political tension on Notre Dame’s campus that accurately reflect the larger-scale crises in the United States. So, how do we move forward without disregarding all previous

Words matter: Gendered language in politics weaponizes them against women

BridgeND | Wednesday, January 25, 2023

One of the most striking aspects of language is its ability to be interpreted in many different ways. A phrase could mean a million different things to a million different people, and a simple change in tone, word choice and syntax could change everything.  Language and politics are inseparable. Words are the modus operandi of

The opposite of war isn’t peace, it’s education

BridgeND | Wednesday, December 7, 2022

Mahatma Gandhi once said,“If we are to reach real peace in this world, we shall have to begin with the children.” If we are to begin with the children, we are to begin with their education. A quality education contributes not only to socioeconomic progress, but also to the holistic development of the individual. I

The forgotten cities

BridgeND | Tuesday, November 29, 2022

As Homeless encampments continue to grow, thousands of Americans are left in the dust. We need to do more.  I will never forget the first time I drove through “The Zone,” a massive homeless encampment in the heart of downtown Phoenix. Far from my hometown of Cincinnati, I had arrived in Phoenix, Arizona the night

How misinformation/ disinformation on social media is destroying our democracy 

BridgeND | Wednesday, November 16, 2022

Social media has given a platform for individuals to share their voices faster and to a broader audience than ever before. At our nation’s founding, it would have been unimaginable to predict that anyone would be able to speak at any time from anywhere. This phenomenon has lent itself to the creation of a new

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
