As a Notre Dame alumna, I was deeply disheartened to see the misogynistic and cruel Yik Yak posts that have been circulating on my social media and appreciated Helen Casey’s articulate response in Tuesday’s Viewpoint section, entitled “Thank you, men of Notre Dame,” addressing the Saint Mary’s shaming that takes place on Notre Dame’s campus

Like many alumnae of Saint Mary’s and Notre Dame, my Facebook newsfeed lit up with articles regarding the YikYak posts. My gut reaction reading the posts was the same as it’s always been — anger, followed by loss. Anger that a group of bright, intelligent women who sincerely want to make a difference in the

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the devastating events of Sept. 11, 2001. The Observer reached out to many individuals in the tri-campus regarding their experiences with 9/11 and how they believe the campus community can grow stronger from the tragedy of that day. ‘Rarely a day has gone by where I don’t give

As I walked into the Moreau Art Galleries — conveniently located just north of my dorm at Saint Mary’s — I was greeted by dim lighting and slight confusion. I was expecting the gallery to be filled with sculptures and statues, all waiting to be reviewed by an (un)professional with a notebook and pen. Water

On March 18, I woke up to a massive controversy blowing up social media, courtesy of the NCAA. WNBA player, Sedona Prince, posted a TikTok video of the women’s weight room for the March Madness season. As I’m sure you know, if you’ve read the many articles that involve this mess, the weight room was

“We want to echo the sentiments of other Saint Mary’s organizations and say we are incredibly proud to be Smicks. Our sisterhood and bond is just as powerful as each and every student at this institution. We will not stand for the slander and disgusting language used against Saint Mary’s students. Smicks are strong, they
