The University of Notre Dame does an excellent job of reminding us how important it is to reach out to “the least of our brethren” and practice social justice as part of our daily lives. There is the Center for Social Concerns on campus that does an excellent job clarifying this for us. One of

These words were tattooed on my high school math teacher’s forearm — to serve as a dual reminder of the time he spent living in Germany, but also to be thankful for his return to his personal home in the United States. For many Notre Dame students, in an adjacent way, the acceptance letter serves

This week, the College Democrats published a Letter to the Editor accusing our club of promoting “racist, transphobic, and antisemitic rhetoric” in the 2022 midterm debate that took place on Wednesday, Nov. 2.

My name is Stephen Viz, and I write my response to Jim Moster’s piece with a background that mirrors his quite well. A current Master of Science in Management student here at the Mendoza College of Business, I graduated from Holy Cross College last May with a BA in Liberal Studies, which was a program

As the Mendoza College of Business marks its centennial anniversary, many both inside and outside of the College question the role the institution plays in both the University and the global community. Does Mendoza indeed “Grow the Good in Business,” or does it encourage profit-mongering individuals who prioritize self-interest at the expense of all conscionable,
