Surf’s not up, bro

Emily Casado | Thursday, February 21, 2019

Did you know that California has more than three major cities? It is hard to believe, but Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego are only a small portion of what California has to offer. As a Californian living in the Midwest, I like to think I have heard all of the stereotypes about us

Vince Staples dominates the airwaves on ‘FM!’

Ryan Israel | Thursday, November 8, 2018

You don’t hear Vince Staples on the radio, if you even listen to the radio anymore. Staples operates on the fringes of mainstream rap music, rarely making it onto the airwaves but staying consistently popular thanks to streaming technology. His status in the rap ecosystem is partly the product of his refusal to conform and

States as Tinder profiles

Davis Gonsalves | Wednesday, September 19, 2018

I have noticed a general trend among the population at large, but particularly within Notre Dame, that certain states have more positive views attached within them. These are amplified at a university that draws from the whole country. To see how these views manifested themselves in a more intimate context, I made Tinder accounts for

Who needs Coachella when you have Couchella

Ryan Israel | Wednesday, April 18, 2018

Every April, thousands of people flock to the Coachella Valley of Southern California for the nation’s premier music festival. Girls put on their finest flower crowns, guys grab their slickest basketball jerseys and all festival-goers rage on for performance after performance under the hot California sun. But to be completely honest, Coachella is overrated. Planes

When booking breaks

Erin McAuliffe | Monday, March 27, 2017

I tried to avoid going spring broke this break and forwent the all-inclusive resort destination (and, thankfully, the “Cancun you believe I’m here?” / “Cancun I stay here all year?” Instagram “puns”) for a road trip across California with four friends. However, the trip taught me a few lessons about the pains of staying on

ICYMI: Saint Mary’s to require COVID-19 vaccinat ICYMI: Saint Mary’s to require COVID-19 vaccination for student enrollment in 2021-2022 academic year

College President Katie Conboy announced in a Monday email that all students are required to receive the COVID-19 vaccine for the upcoming academic year. The vaccine will be added to the list of mandatory student immunizations beginning in the 2021-2022 term.

“There is so much yet to learn about the COVID-19 virus, and while we are encouraged by the progress made thus far, we still see areas for concern; in particular the variant strains and what they could bring,” Conboy said. “For this reason, among others, we are making the bold choice to mandate student vaccines.” 

According to Conboy, the College will offer exemption to the vaccine policy for proper medical and religious reasons.

After a week filled with virtual panels and a Yom After a week filled with virtual panels and a Yom Hashoah Holocaust Remembrance prayer service, today marks the final day of Antisemitism Awareness Week.

In light of the recent increase in antisemitism, the Jewish Club at Notre Dame organized this event to both engage and educate the community about combatting this type of hatred.

On Wednesday, Notre Dame’s student senate unanimously voted to pass Resolution SS 2021-37, which calls upon the University to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism — one that has been embraced by nations, international organizations and universities across the world.

“One of the purposes of the working definition is that it’s hard to combat something if you can’t name it, or understand what it is and define it,” said Jewish Club president junior Bella Niforatos about the importance of adopting IHRA’s definition.

After Tuesday’s incident — where a group of non-ND affiliated people zoom-bombed one of the presentations — Jewish Club secretary sophomore Blake Ziegler said the club received an outpour of support from different members of the community. To create a more inclusive space, he said Notre Dame should actively embrace its Jewish members.

“The best way the Notre Dame community can show solidarity with the Jewish community is honestly just engagement, education, learning more about Judaism, engaging your Jewish friends and family, being open to listening to them and their concerns and addressing them,” he said.

After this week, Niforatos said there is one thing the Notre Dame community should remember: “If you have a voice, then you should use it.”
