Winding roads and reverie on ISLAND’s debut album

Lauren Weldon | Wednesday, April 18, 2018

The first time I listened to Oxford-formed, London-based four-piece ISLAND, I was driving north along the winding Olympic Peninsula of Washington. Maybe it was the narrowly turning, tree-lined highway or maybe it was the ocean’s mist that can engulf cars and suspend any sense of seasonality, but when the track “Stargazer” off their 2015 debut

Breen-Phillips Hall and the chamber of secrets

Lauren Weldon | Tuesday, November 28, 2017

In its 175 years, Notre Dame has taught many generations of students, felt great moments of triumph and loss (not unlike this year’s football season) and experienced eras of change and transformation. While some of this history can be found throughout buildings on campus, in past yearbooks, trophy cases, plaques and history books, or even

Hiring season

Lauren Weldon | Thursday, September 7, 2017

It’s that time of year again. Football is back, the library is starting to feel crowded and students all around are starting to break out their business professional attire. That’s right: it’s hiring season. Whether you’re a senior trying to figure out what the heck to do with your future, a junior trying to score

Why am I majoring in business?

Lauren Weldon | Wednesday, February 1, 2017

Last semester, my advisor at Mendoza’s Undergraduate Advising Office asked me a simple, but tough question: “Lauren, why are YOU majoring in business? You know, you don’t necessarily have to.” It would seem obvious that no, I don’t have to, but here’s some background. My name is Lauren, I am a sophomore in Breen-Phillips Hall,

Straight, not narrow

Lauren Weldon | Friday, September 23, 2016

My birthday was Sept. 10, and it was a very special day — the opening home football game against Nevada, turning 19, spending time with friends, singing from tailgate to tailgate with Harmonia, Notre Dame’s all-female a cappella group. It was great. And it was special in a new way too, as someone special to me

Design thinking for all

Lauren Weldon | Wednesday, March 23, 2016

The book, “Imagine, Design, Create,” by the design software company Autodesk, provides what I believe is the most comprehensive definition of design: “Even with all the dramatic changes being wrought by technology, design remains, and likely always will be, a fundamentally human endeavor, fueled by the insights, ideas, passions, and talents of people in pursuit

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.
