Making the switch

Eva Analitis | Friday, January 21, 2022

“Service” is one of those words that typically evokes supportive sentiments. It’s almost universally regarded as positive to serve one’s community, and most people would consider volunteering to be a hallmark activity of a civic-minded person.

The Catholic Church, COVID and love

Letter to the Editor | Monday, April 12, 2021

A friend recently suggested that I should write a Letter to the Editor to the Observer. He didn’t say exactly what I should write about, just that I should write something.

Where is compassion?

Diversity Council | Thursday, November 21, 2019

Not your everyday hero

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, March 30, 2017

A favorite author of mine once wrote, “As you get older it is harder to have heroes, but it is sort of necessary.” Growing up, I remember often being asked, simply, who my hero was. I traditionally defaulted to one of many people I admired in my life for the roles they played and the

Invisible illness: a call for understanding

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, March 29, 2017

There is an invisible under-culture at Notre Dame. Students in this under-culture are unable to live the stereotypical Notre Dame life characterized by a vibrant social life, numerous extracurriculars and long hours of homework.
