Design education at Notre Dame – it has potential!

Diane Park | Friday, November 8, 2019

If you know any Notre Dame design student, it’s highly likely the major they began college with wasn’t design. It would be on the more surprising side of things if they had, in fact, come to Notre Dame for the design program. It isn’t very large and simply isn’t very well known.  As someone who

It costs to be creative at Notre Dame

Diane Park | Monday, September 2, 2019

I went to a public charter school for the arts from seventh to 12th grade, and I’ve recently been increasingly reminded of this time as I begin my third year now at Notre Dame. Mrs. Oden, the Visual Arts Conservatory Director at the Orange County School of the Arts, who advised me through middle and

But it’s so cheap!

Diane Park | Thursday, March 28, 2019

Ten minutes into shopping at the House of Vintage and I was already complaining about feeling myself get sick from all the germs I was convinced were around. But despite my germaphobic concerns and general distaste for recycled clothing, joining my friends to find hidden treasures and experiencing the culture of sustainable fashion was truly

IDSA’s Women & Design Summit inspires more diversity in creativity

Diane Park | Tuesday, October 30, 2018

Attendees laughed in agreement as the women on the “Women in Entrepreneurship” panel at the recent IDSA (Industrial Designers Society of America) Women & Design Summit asked if the few men in the room have ever had to consider if their skirt, shoes or shirts implicated the “wrong vibe.” The pressure of personal presentation in

Does Notre Dame even have a design major?

Diane Park | Tuesday, April 17, 2018

“Does Notre Dame even have a Design major?” My friends and I were at a social gathering, when a slightly inebriated individual replied with such incredulity to my introduction as a visual communication design and political science double major. I can’t remember if he was joking and if other people had laughed. I just remember

A guilty “Why ND?” confession

Diane Park | Monday, February 12, 2018

However well-masked under a polite Notre Dame smile, my Moreau partner’s expressions still showed slight concern and apprehension, as she saw that I did not quite match her level of excitement at being here. “So then, why ND?” she asked. I told her I didn’t know. Then, feeling almost guilty for not having dreamed of

..
"I have wondered for seven semesters now why this is such a politically apathetic campus. It is easy to assume a university that displays a photo of its most iconic president with the nation’s most iconic civil rights activist would proudly embrace its heritage of nonviolent protest. But this is not the case."

..
The Make-A-Wish club serves as the tri-campus community's point of contact to the Make-A-Wish foundation, a national nonprofit organization that gives grants to children from the ages of 2-and-a-half to 18 with life-threatening illnesses.

Instagram post 2195908705778065699_1726022560 “As you may know, I received 5,000 signatures and a protest on God Quad last spring, which — while compelling and interesting — was a bit of curiosity to me, because people were protesting against something that hadn’t been established yet,” said associate vice president of Residential Life Heather Rakoczy Russel in the Dahnke Ballroom last night. ..
Rakoczy Russel was looking to garner student feedback in crafting the off campus differentiation policies.  Surveys will be sent out to the class of 2022, the first class impacted by the off campus differentiation, but ultimately the policy will reflect Notre Dame's attitudes about community and identity.

...
"After making my heart suffer such a toll, I decided to redeem myself — and my stomach — by delighting in some real — I cannot emphasize that word enough — Mexican food. I searched the Internet for the best places in South Bend, heavily rolling my eyes at the lists featuring Chipotle and, yes, Taco Bell. Thankfully, I found several options that promised authentic food, and most of them were located on South Bend’s west side."
