Abolish private prisons

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, September 16, 2020

To Whom It May Concern:  We write in support of Notre Dame student and faculty advocacy to end Notre Dame’s investment in private for-profit prisons and to respond to the letter from Brian Evans (’90) of The GEO Group that was published in The Observer on Sept. 9. It is time to end what corrections

What would Notre Dame fight for?

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, September 10, 2020

As I write to you COVID-19 still rages across the country, ricocheting state to state. It also rages on the campus of the University of Notre Dame, two weeks after the University fully opened for students and for classes. The outbreak is so alarming; Notre Dame is forced to shut back down. Putting students in

We stand with all the Irish

Sydni Brooks | Tuesday, September 1, 2020

When I proudly responded “Notre Dame” to the question “Where are you going to college this fall?” during the summer of 2018, I was met with roughly the same answer from every individual who asked — “You’re going to love it there; it’s a great community.” Though I knew of Notre Dame’s caliber and nobility,

The Notre Dame voices you never heard

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, April 28, 2020

When Fr. Sorin arrived in Indiana in 1842, his small group encountered the cold, snowy winter that anyone who has lived in South Bend is all too familiar with. As he surveyed the land, he saw what we now know as St. Mary’s and St. Joseph’s lakes. Only, Fr. Sorin saw one lake, and named

A letter for you

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, April 28, 2020

Dear fellow Notre Dame peer, In the nicest way possible, you can do better.  As soon as I stepped on campus, I felt welcomed and at peace. Notre Dame is my new home. I am incredibly grateful for the people I’ve met, the opportunities I’ve had and the progress I’ve made during my short time

The senior list of demands

Danny McMaster | Tuesday, April 7, 2020

I’ll be honest. This really, deeply — in a way that cannot be overstated — is bad. The coronavirus is something I do not like at all, and I harbor no positive feelings towards it or the things it associates with. I don’t like it at all. If I saw it, I would try and

Ranking the ways Notre Dame has helped me battle depression

Davis Gonsalves | Wednesday, April 24, 2019

Yikes, that’s a tad more serious of a column title than I usually write. I promise, I’m still going to throw in some jokes to keep this last column on brand. I wanted to talk about the ways Notre Dame has helped me battle — and often overcome — this struggle with mental health because:

A looming exodus

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, April 16, 2019

When I was a junior in high school, I watched as my brother was pushed out of our church, and as a result, became distant in his faith. I feel that it is necessary for me to provide a little bit of backstory. The confirmation program at our church had recently changed. This was partially
