Notre Dame football head coach Marcus Freeman discusses leadership

Maggie Eastland | Monday, February 28, 2022

He gets his work ethic from his father and his selflessness from his mother, but his emphasis on player relationships as Notre Dame head coach is his own. “I love coaching,” Marcus Freeman said. “I love to see our players have success, and so that’s my motivation. That’s my inspiration — to work my tail

Respectfully discussing atheism

Letter to the Editor and Nelisha Silva | Friday, September 3, 2021

Recently, I was browsing through a couple of articles in The Observer when one headline caught my eye: “Why do atheists debate?” I was intrigued, but the more I read, the more I found myself upset with the contents of the article. Andrew Sveda tries to explain the logical inconsistencies in atheism, demonstrate that morals

A response to ‘Where’s the transparency?’

Letter to the Editor | Monday, March 8, 2021

To The Observer Editorial Board, I agreed with most of the points made in your editorial, “Where’s the transparency?” However, I was disheartened to see that you chose to throw in an unnecessarily mocking comment about Masses on campus when you asked, “Does a tabernacle help prevent coronavirus transmission?” I understand you made this comment

The central purpose of college

Andrew Sveda | Monday, March 8, 2021

In my previous column, I asked, “What is the main thing, the purpose of college that takes precedence over all other factors and shapes what a meaningful college experience looks like?” I examined three common answers — credential earning, job training and “learning things” — and discovered that each college model suffered from some serious

What really satisfies

Andrew Sveda | Monday, February 8, 2021

When it comes to breaks, and especially long breaks like the one we just had, there’s always a strange progression in my attitude toward them. And I suspect I’m not the only one. The whole cycle has about four phases. The first phase starts about a month into school, when the monotony of homework and

What would Jesus do?

Ashton Weber | Tuesday, September 8, 2020

Growing up as an attendee of Catholic school and Sunday mass, I became quite familiar with Bible stories, especially the narration of episodes in Jesus’ life that are found in the New Testament. Of these recorded episodes in Jesus’ life, one has always been especially confusing to me: the story of the rich young man.

Killing time

Andrew Sveda | Monday, April 6, 2020

These past few weeks have been, well, hard, to say the least. All of us have had something important to us taken away by COVID-19. But with all of us (hopefully) at home, we’ve gained something we’re always asking for: time. Yet now that we have it, we have absolutely no clue what to do

A looming exodus

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, April 16, 2019

When I was a junior in high school, I watched as my brother was pushed out of our church, and as a result, became distant in his faith. I feel that it is necessary for me to provide a little bit of backstory. The confirmation program at our church had recently changed. This was partially

Articulating the faith

Jack Rooney | Wednesday, February 22, 2017

I’ve never been particularly good at articulating my faith, which is strange given that it’s always been such a core part of who I am. I went to Catholic school almost my entire life, I’ve led retreats, gone on service trips, I never miss Mass on Sundays and now my first full-time job out of

Professor reflects on lives of saints in inaugural Fr. Ted Talk

Aidan Lewis | Friday, December 4, 2015

“From a life of faith, what is important to me?” Edward Hums asked during the inaugural Fr. Ted Talk Thursday evening at Recker’s. Hums said he finds the lives of saints to hold the most importance in his faith life. Hums, a professor of accountancy in the Mendoza College of Business and a faculty-in-residence in Lyons
