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

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.

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

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:

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
