The University announced Tuesday the new men’s residence hall currently being constructed on South Quad, on the former site of Fisher Hall, will be named Coyle Hall, after donors John and Jill Coyle. The Fisher Hall community currently residing in Zahm Hall will move to the new dorm in 2026.
Week One. College Gameday at College Station. Irish versus Aggies. Two historic programs enter the season with great optimism and slight trepidation as they fight to remain nationally relevant in the era of the College Football Playoff. Sounds like a guaranteed instant classic. Texas A&M, still recovering from the failed Jimbo Fisher experiment, will field a team with seven returning starters and the majority of their defensive depth coming from the transfer portal. Though Mel Tucker’s early Michigan State teams proved a new coach can succeed with a ragtag group of mercenaries, questions remain over the team’s chemistry and cohesiveness.
“Brat” is undeniably one of 2024’s most notable albums, rising to the top of charts and fans’ playlists, all while obtaining massive praise from critics, resulting in its title as the most critically acclaimed project of 2024 (so far). But it isn’t just the accolades, award nominations and TikTok dances that have kept Charli XCX at the top of our minds and charts — “Brat” exists as both an anthem and a mantra, an ode to the party girl who demands to be understood.
This July, the startup Routora, co-founded by Notre Dame seniors Luke Blazek and Brian George, was featured on a billboard in New York City’s Times Square. Blazek and George purchased the ad space in Times Square after reaching the milestone of offering 50,000 drivers in over 90 countries and saving drivers over four million minutes total in driving time.
Notre Dame volleyball showed a glimpse into its full potential in the nascent stages of the 2023 season, including electrifying early victories over Oklahoma, Boston College and North Carolina. However, a young team led by a young coach faded fast in the second half, losing 10 of 11 games to end the season at 11-15, a shocking finish for a team that started 8-2. With that year’s experience under their belts, and supported by an early-season stretch of seven of eight games at the comfort of home for almost an entire month, the Irish have the chance to start strong again and keep pace as October turns to November.
Dear Incoming Students,
Last week, members of the College Democrats of Notre Dame attended the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. These are their reflections.
To the one whom I have always loved dearest,
After passing the towering crimson block “W” in the parking lots, Wayne High School students receive another daily dose of school spirit upon reaching the main entrance. The imposing visage of Wayne’s mascot, the Warrior, adorns each of the three sets of brass double doors, their handles now tarnished from nearly 70 years of use. The Warrior’s crimson and charcoal facepaint perfectly complements his white headdress, welcoming all visitors to the home of one of the preeminent powerhouses in Division I Ohio high school football.
The Congregation of the Holy Cross Sisters elected Sister Sharlet Ann Wagner to become the next president of the congregation at its July 16-17 general chapter meetings. Wagner will serve as head of the Sisters for the next five years, per their election cycle, and will replace Sister Veronique Wiedower, who has served as president since 2014.
As I’ve started my junior year at Notre Dame, I’ve found myself reflecting a lot more than I’m accustomed to. Beginning the second half of my planned four years here has brought my mind wandering back to where the first half started. During week one, I remember feeling many of the same emotions you first-year students likely felt. Apprehension about fitting in, self-made pressure on my academic endeavors and overall cluelessness about the whole process hit me at one point or another.
As the University of Notre Dame welcomes new and returning members of its community for the academic year University president Rev. Robert Dowd has urged the campus to engage in respectful dialogue in light of ongoing global conflicts and the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
Week one rarely defines a team’s season. Notre Dame and Texas A&M will be very different teams come December. That’s a given. However, for an Irish team with hopes of taking the next step in the Freeman era, this is as close to a must-win game as any week one game will ever be.
After a long and eventful offseason, Notre Dame football is finally back. And while the start of every new season brings immense excitement for Irish fans worldwide, the 2024 season opener will pack an extra punch. That’s because on Saturday night, Notre Dame will face off against No. 20 Texas A&M in College Station in one of the nation’s premier games of the week, a matchup that now looms even larger after No. 10 Florida State — the top-ranked opponent on the Irish schedule — suffered a shocking upset loss to Georgia Tech in Dublin.
I was late to catch onto “The Bear.” I watched seasons one and two during the late months of 2023, and something clicked in my head. I had heard from many people (my family included) that the show was a marvel of modern television, but I’d heard that before; I could never cling onto shows like “Breaking Bad,” “Succession” or even “Game of Thrones.” But for some reason, “The Bear” worked for me in a way the others didn’t. Needless to say, season three was a cause for excitement when it was announced for a late June release.
There’s a lot of commotion about the question, “What do we owe each other?” The university has a forum dedicated to this question, a forum that is situated within a three-day holiday for the second most important person on this campus behind Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Last November, the Notre Dame men’s and women’s cross country teams each secured top-15 finishes at the NCAA Championships. The Irish men claimed a 14th-place result, while the women locked up fourth-place. Both teams enter the 2024 season with plenty of potential under director of cross country Matt Sparks.
There is always a lot of uncertainty going into the first game of the season for every team. Who will step up to replace the players who have moved on? How will the team react to a setback? How do you get players to have a one-week-at-a-time mentality when everyone around them is thinking about and planning for a postseason run?
After watching “Hit Man” on Netflix, I was immediately excited for “Twisters.” Glen Powell gave a great performance as a fake hitman, continuing his path to A-list celebrity status. While some of my friends watched this new Richard Linklater film, more people were talking about “Bad Boys: Ride or Die,” which came out the same weekend. That was much different when “Twisters” was released July 19, though. It seemed like everyone I knew headed to the theaters during the movie’s opening weekend, a rarity in the summer of 2024. The movie soared past the tracking numbers and grossed $80.5 million at the domestic box office in its opening weekend. It quickly became one of the most discussed movies of the summer throughout the following weeks.
It is no secret that the past four seasons of “911: Lonestar” have been successful and have driven the show to film a fifth season.
