You are reading a column from one of the six new RAs for next year in Dunne Hall, and the only one who is currently abroad. Due to my current location on another continent, I won’t have face to face repercussions from Fr. Matt by writing this. The RA position, as we know, carries a

However well-masked under a polite Notre Dame smile, my Moreau partner’s expressions still showed slight concern and apprehension, as she saw that I did not quite match her level of excitement at being here. “So then, why ND?” she asked. I told her I didn’t know. Then, feeling almost guilty for not having dreamed of

On Nov. 13, 2017, the Global Carbon Project released a report detailing expectations of a global rise in carbon dioxide emissions of approximately 2 percent. Because there was no growth in output between 2014 and 2016, some climate scientists believed that we had established a peak level of output. Now, however, there is renewed cause

Dear Miso, As you are finishing your college application process and polishing the Notre Dame application supplements, I want to give you some advice for the completely new stage of your life you are entering; different not only because you will probably end up hundreds of miles away from our Salvadoran home, especially if you end
Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, November 29, 2016
The first letter appeared as a paid advertisement in Nov. 15 print edition of The Observer. I was invited to sign it, but declined. I might possibly sign, if asked, a somewhat parallel but very different second letter, with one qualification. It should not claim as the authors of the first letter do that their letter is

Over the summer, I trekked downtown to New York City with my friend to visit the school I attended prior to coming here, Stuyvesant High School. It was a very competitive high school, officially known as a specialized high school in New York City and, to many others, a feeder school for the Ivies. The

On Dec. 6, 2011, my twin sister Morgan Leigh Judd passed away unexpectedly from a blood clot that formed in the back right part of her brain. Morgan was a freshman at Wake Forest University where she was double majoring in accounting and dance. The day before she passed away, she danced at the Wake

Now that we’ve been at school for a month, we’ve once again gotten used to (or introduced to, for freshmen readers) being around Notre Dame students 24/7. One important part of this unique culture, as with any, is the common language used to communicate ideas. And just like any language, sometimes there’s a hidden meaning

As the Bend thaws and students quicken their pace with the coming spring and last few weeks before finals, students glancing around their classrooms might not observe a few missing students, a few faces who have been absent for the past few weeks or even months. In a highly competitive academic environment, these young adults

In the Feb. 26 edition of the observer, Robert Alvarez published a viewpoint addressing the new Campus Crossroads Project and its reflection of Notre Dame’s priorities. He voiced concerns about the changing focus of Notre Dame’s mission and the trend of an increasingly pre-professional undergraduate student body. As a self-identifying pre-professional, I disagree with many
