Remember that box you checked on the Common App when you submitted your letters of rec? You were waiving your FERPA

Journey to Notre Dame

Isabelle Kause | Monday, October 10, 2022

My journey to Notre Dame was not that of the average Notre Dame student. During my senior year of high school when applying to colleges, I knew wholeheartedly that I wanted to be at a college that had a warm and welcoming, yet academically rigorous environment, much like the college prep, Jesuit high school I

With a little help from my friends

Mary Ellen Woods | Monday, January 24, 2022

With the recent batch of Notre Dame early admits, I am reminded of conversations about the Class of 2025 — the most diverse of any admitted to Our Lady’s University, until, presumably, the Class of 2026. Friends, cherished alums themselves, decried the demographics of last year’s enrolled class, suggesting that they diminished the value of

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.

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.
