Who is part of our family?

lettertotheeditor | Wednesday, December 7, 2022

The University of Notre Dame has always been my dream school. I chose to attend this university over others because as soon as I set foot on campus, it felt like home.  Notre Dame encourages us to do soul-searching and become who we want to be. In this, I finally came out and accepted myself

Iran: Analyzing gendered oppression through an intersectional lens 

Grace Sullivan | Monday, October 3, 2022

On Sept. 16, protests in Iran broke out after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. Amini was arrested and brutally beaten on the head by the so-called “morality police” — authorities that enforce religious based laws — for wearing her hijab too loosely: an illegal offense in Iran. Amini later died after being in police

The helping paradox

Carlos Basurto | Wednesday, September 28, 2022

We, as human beings, have had the fortune (or misfortune, for some) to interact with one another in matters of the mind and the heart since the beginning of time. As social creatures, we must rely on one another to share this spinning ball of flaming rock and cooperate to a certain degree to survive.

Representation matters

Show Some Skin | Wednesday, September 4, 2019

This semester I have two classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The first is Ancient and Medieval Philosophy and the second is Musical Theatre History. I go straight from one to the other. Obviously, these are very different classes in many different ways, but after only one week of classes, there is one difference that stands

It’s time for women’s sports to receive the respect they deserve

Mia Berry | Wednesday, August 29, 2018

Earlier this week, my colleague Courtney Becker pointed out a minor slip from our fellow Observer sports writers in forgetting to mention the WNBA — or any other women’s sport for that matter — in their summer recaps. I applaud Courtney, but the fact that she had to remind them and a lot of sports

Observer Editorial: It’s time to show up

Observer Editorial Board | Friday, February 16, 2018

It’s the middle of the third quarter of a February game in Purcell Pavilion. One of the nation’s perennial powerhouse programs has had little trouble moving the ball up and down the court. Basket after basket, it seems as if the team is scoring effortlessly — pass after pass, 3 after 3, backdoor cut after

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, November 16, 2016

My friend and I sat outside the Basilica, Our Lady in plain view, as we watched a compilation of Hillary Clinton’s campaign highlights. Tears came to our eyes, as the ups and downs flashed across the screen — moments of hope in nomination clinches, setbacks along the way. She and I, and many of my

OUTatND seeks to promote LGBTQ rights on campus

Kayla Mullen | Tuesday, April 28, 2015

Despite recent efforts to create an inclusive environment for LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning) students, Notre Dame is still the ninth most LGBTQ-unfriendly campus in America, according to the Princeton Review. A new grassroots movement, OUTatND, is aimed at changing this title and developing Notre Dame as a true safe space for LGBTQ

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
