Star student ‘Abbott Elementary’ is the next great workplace comedy

Genevieve Coleman | Wednesday, March 8, 2023

As many of my friends know, I have successfully made student teaching my entire personality.

Genevieve Coleman | Monday, January 23, 2023

Over break, a few friends and I went to a coffee shop in South Bend. Besides serving one of the best lattes I’ve had in my life, the store is full of books that can be lent out to customers and handmade goods from local vendors. Needless to say, it’s now one of my favorite

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.
