Dear Fr. John Jenkins, Fr. Gerard Olinger and Mr. Louis Nanni: We are writing to you as more than 100 parents of the Holy Cross-Notre Dame Gateway 9.0 program to plead with you respectfully that the University find on-campus housing for these rising sophomores for the start of the 2022-2023 school year. We trust that

It’s 6:30 p.m. on a Monday night in North Dining Hall and my friends are laughing at their phones. It might as well as been a random night in 2013 given the fact that my friends were using Yik Yak, an app I hadn’t heard of since it was downloaded on my iPod Touch nearly

To any and all, This is not a letter addressed to a reader with any purpose but simply a recollection of a Fulbright Fellow who arrived on campus in August to teach her native language in a foreign land. From India to Indiana, from University of Lucknow to University of Notre Dame and from an

First-Year: Quad Sophomore: Quad Junior: Six-Man At this point, all the simple models I’ve learned in my forecasting class would predict that I would somehow find a way to have more than five roommates my senior year, but sadly that’s not the case. As an resident assistant in Baumer Hall, living in a single-occupancy room
Show Some Skin | Tuesday, March 24, 2020
Last week, Show Some Skin: 20/20 was scheduled to be performed. I had dreamed about this day since my first year at Notre Dame when I first became involved as the stage manager. Even as I sat crying in the lighting booth at the back of the Snite Museum auditorium watching the cast of Show

Fellow Belles, Saint Mary’s is not a place we go to, but a place we come from. The gift of our Saint Mary’s education is that after four years of discovering our place in the world, we then get to go out and change it. As we find ourselves separated into different communities, remember that

This past Thursday, Mr. Benjamin Testani wrote a column entitled ‘Why you are so whiny about your own school’ in which he whined about people saying that he whines in his columns.
