Defend democracy like a champion today

lettertotheeditor | Wednesday, February 1, 2023

It’s been two years since we collectively witnessed a failed insurrection and attack on the United States Capitol, and the threats to America’s democracy remain serious.  In its nationally-representative Health of Democracy Survey, taken weeks before the midterm elections, The Rooney Center for American Democracy uncovered a series of findings with grave implications for the

Thank you social justice volunteers

lettertotheeditor | Friday, January 27, 2023

The University of Notre Dame does an excellent job of reminding us how important it is to reach out to “the least of our brethren” and practice social justice as part of our daily lives. There is the Center for Social Concerns on campus that does an excellent job clarifying this for us. One of

My noisy neighbor

lettertotheeditor | Wednesday, January 18, 2023

I am almost 60 years old and a “non-matriculating learner” back on Notre Dame’s campus. I am not quite a student and I am not faculty or staff. I don’t fit neatly into Notre Dame’s classification structure and my status varies depending on the need or request. I am a Fellow in the 2022-23 cohort

From COP27 to Notre Dame: Putting solidarity into practice

lettertotheeditor | Thursday, December 8, 2022

This November, world leaders, official negotiators, scientists and activists descended on a small resort town nestled in Egypt between Mount Sinai and the Red Sea for the yearly U.N. Climate Conference, COP27. I had the great privilege of traveling to attend this important event along with leaders and civil society members from around the world.

Who is part of our family?

lettertotheeditor | Wednesday, December 7, 2022

The University of Notre Dame has always been my dream school. I chose to attend this university over others because as soon as I set foot on campus, it felt like home.  Notre Dame encourages us to do soul-searching and become who we want to be. In this, I finally came out and accepted myself

I was the Republican debater at the midterm debate. Here’s what really happened. 

lettertotheeditor | Wednesday, December 7, 2022

It has now been over a month since the midterm debate, and I regret to inform you that leftists on campus still have not quite recovered. Just this week, another opinion piece (if a glorified Reddit rant can be categorized as such) appeared in The Observer making laughably insane claims about my debate rhetoric and about

A Tale of Two Cities

lettertotheeditor | Monday, December 5, 2022

You may not know it, but if you live in Chicago, Illinois, you’re actually a citizen of two cities. One Chicago features some of the best public high schools in the country according to the U.S. News & World Report. The other Chicago is marked by the kind of school buildings where if it rains

‘Endlich daheim’: Finally home

lettertotheeditor | Friday, December 2, 2022

These words were tattooed on my high school math teacher’s forearm — to serve as a dual reminder of the time he spent living in Germany, but also to be thankful for his return to his personal home in the United States. For many Notre Dame students, in an adjacent way, the acceptance letter serves

Five people are dead. The University is silent. 

lettertotheeditor | Monday, November 21, 2022

On Saturday, Club Q opened its doors to Colorado Spring’s queer community. What was supposed to be a night defined by community and fun soon turned into a night of horror. Around 11:50 p.m., Anderson Aldrich allegedly opened fire into a crowd of queer folk, injuring 25, and leaving at least five dead before two

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.
