Mourning professor Uhran: A life lived the Notre Dame way

Letter to the Editor | Friday, October 27, 2023

On Oct. 2, senior associate dean emeritus and professor emeritus of computer science and engineering John Uhran passed away at age 87. His academic achievements were many, among them was bringing computer science to Notre Dame, but my memories of professor Uhran are more personal. Like an increasing number of Domers, I was the first

Lessons from my time as a columnist

Julianna Conley | Wednesday, April 13, 2022

Before I even chose a college, I knew I wanted to write for the school newspaper. When a columnist dropped mid-semester of my first-year fall, I applied to fill the spot and joined The Observer family in October. Save a “sabbatical” I took to serve as my dorm’s vice president, over the last four years,

Write more notes

Maggie Klaers | Wednesday, April 6, 2022

Even the smallest of actions can brighten someone’s day or even change their life.  During this time of the semester, while we all get swept up in our overflowing Google calendars, pack our weekends full of future memories and just try to get through the day on three hours of sleep, it becomes so easy

Thank you, part II

Letter to the Editor and Nelisha Silva | Wednesday, November 3, 2021

Dear student body, Two years ago, I wrote a letter to thank you for the kindness that you’ve shown when the “Mass hype video” is aired during the home football games. Now, two years later I’m sitting behind my computer to write yet once again. Wow!   I’m sometimes asked what I think about the response.

Talking nice behind people’s backs

Julianna Conley | Wednesday, November 3, 2021

As children, we’re taught that if we don’t have anything nice to say, we shouldn’t say anything at all. By high school, it’s universally acknowledged that talking bad about someone behind their back is uncouth.

Joe for America, Joe for Notre Dame

Letter to the Editor and Nelisha Silva | Monday, October 19, 2020

Some moments in life are so significant, so integral to your story, that they become forever ingrained in your memory. One such instance that has been on my mind recently is from when I boarded the airplane that would take me from London to my first semester at this spectacular institution. It would be the

Kindness is within our control

Show Some Skin | Thursday, August 27, 2020

I spent a good portion of July spiraling. I ranted to those around me about how dangerous it was to pack thousands of college students into 1.2 square miles in the midst of a pandemic. I wore my family and friends out with a torrent of negativity. From the earliest of these rants, my mom

Observer Editorial: Make room for kindness

Observer Editorial Board | Friday, March 27, 2020

We are living in the midst of an unprecedented global event with lasting medical, social, political and economic effects, and it sucks. Period. Many of us are lucky enough to be watching life slow to a gentle halt from our homes, surrounded by family. Others are battling this novel coronavirus on the front lines, in

The importance of hospitality

Erin Grimes | Monday, April 29, 2019

According to Merriam Webster, the definition of hospitality is “hospitable treatment, reception or disposition.” That doesn’t really explain anything, so I turned to the definition of hospitable which is “given to generous and cordial reception of guests” and “offering a pleasant or sustaining environment.” Before my year studying in Innsbruck, I knew what the terms
