A new, welcome introduction

Steph Wulz | Friday, May 16, 2014

“Hi, my name is Steph Wulz and I am a senior Visual Communication Design BFA from Ramsey, New Jersey.” A Notre Dame introduction is one thing that every student quickly becomes well versed in within the first week of college. It is line that identified who you were, where you were from and what your

We jump, we land

Nicole Michels | Friday, May 16, 2014

Graduation is upon us at last. Soon, we won’t go to classes in DeBart Monday through Thursday and sometimes Friday. We won’t reconvene after a night out in the dining hall, or at The Mark, or at the Pancake House. We won’t sway in the student section at football games; we won’t run around the

All I can do is say thank you

Meghan Thomassen | Friday, May 16, 2014

I’m glad I can’t capture what these past four years have meant to me in one column. But I can at least start to thank the people who have changed my life for the better. Here’s to you and all those who looked outside themselves to help me grow at Notre Dame. Thank you to

My Notre Dame story

Marisa Iati | Friday, May 16, 2014

I’ve written a lot of words on these pages in the past four years. I’ve told many stories, most of which belonged to other people. I now have 800 words left, with which I’m going to tell you just one more story, because my Fundamentals of Journalism professor drilled into our heads that stories matter.

Finding my legacy

Kevin Noonan | Friday, May 16, 2014

Notre Dame loves to talk about legacy, and it’s got me wondering what mine might be, if I were to have one here. If left to my own choice, it would be obvious — one of the least successful student body president candidates in the history of Notre Dame, student government, democracy and perhaps human history.

It’s about the people

Grant Tobin | Friday, May 16, 2014

I’ve had a bit of a difficult time writing this reflection. And that’s not because I’ve wrecked three keyboards and two boxes of Kleenex getting to the point where I can see my screen clearly enough to type. I jest. But think about any graduation speech you’ve ever attended. Can you distinctly perceive any single

Graduate every day

Andrew Gastelum | Friday, May 16, 2014

I feel like I’ve been here before. But at the same time, I really don’t. I’ve worn a cap and gown before, but never like this. With this shake of the hand and a smile, my days as a graduate will end. Just like that, 16 years of school will end. But the greatest thing

Thank you for the tears

Matthew DeFranks | Friday, May 16, 2014

What are tears? Are they water? Are they salt? Are they salt water? Are they from the eyes? Are they from the heart? Are they from the soul? Are they emotions? Are they feelings? Are they memories? They are all of the above. They are Notre Dame. Tears are when I got accepted. They are

Embracing the highs and the lows

Dan Brombach | Friday, May 16, 2014

After taking the last final of my undergraduate career, I found myself sitting with my housemates on top of our garage. Between sips of Du Lac-approved beverages and silently praying the roof wouldn’t collapse beneath me, I began to zone out. I began to commit the crime I had earlier promised myself I would avoid.

Let the light of Notre Dame lead you

Alexander Coccia | Friday, May 16, 2014

Dr. Tom Dooley, a Notre Dame student in the 1940s who worked as a doctor in Southeast Asia, wrote a letter to Father Hesburgh, who had it engraved and placed by the grotto. Dooley wrote, “Notre Dame is twice on my mind . . . and always in my heart. That Grotto is the rock
