When trying to describe this campus, we often make reference to the “Notre Dame bubble.” This “bubble” is often talked about as a negative, associating it with a sort of conformity to a like mindset that comes from shutting the outside world out. But it really isn’t always a bad thing. As college students, there

The past week was, from a political perspective, nothing short of extraordinary. Americans experienced what seemed to be a constant shifting of public interest and media coverage. Our collective attention was focused on the wrap up of the presidential campaign, then moved to the election and now, after the greatest presidential upset in recent political

As a double Domer alumnus, I have always been proud of Our Lady’s University and especially of the courage and great work of ND Right to Life. Your thoughtful open letter in The Observer to the person who vandalized your display makes me even more proud. It was a brilliant way to respond to what

Health care is a hot-button topic in the U.S. today, especially with the upcoming presidential elections. We, Partners In Health (PIH) Engage, challenge you to find a single newspaper where the issue is not mentioned several times a week. Yet, while this issue is much-debated, the myopic focus on the U.S. health care system eclipses

It could have been a comedy: celebrity No. 1 dishes about celebrity No. 2 in an interview; celebrity No. 2 calls out celebrity No. 1 on live television (with celebrity No. 3 cheering in the background); America celebrates. Except it was the VMAs (which could be classified as a comedy based on the outfits), and celebrity No. 1 was Miley

Each week, I find myself watching our football players feet. I strongly believe there is a correlation between the number of injuries and the lack of support in the shoe wear. There must be one or more science geeks on campus willing to either prove me right or wrong. It kills me watching the demise

Dear Notre Dame men’s basketball team and staff, Thank you. From all of us here on campus and around the world, thank you. At the beginning of the year, very few people anywhere had expectations for this team: on campus, in the media or around the country. Maybe an NCAA tournament bid, but even then

When Madison Holleran took her life in January 2014, the University of Pennsylvania reeled at its fourth suicide within a year, which sparked the question: “Why would these kids — top of their class, the elite, bound for success — choose to kill themselves?” The closest I ever came was a letter. I kept that letter

To a student of color, on hearing you might transfer: Dear Student, Recently we learned you have become so disheartened by racism at Notre Dame that you are considering transferring to another school. We were told you and other students received several racist messages on Yik Yak, the social media app that allows people to

I almost submitted a very angry viewpoint a couple of weeks ago. You can ask my friends, among whom the copy of said “scathing” viewpoint was spread and discussed at quite some length. From friends telling me it was brilliant, to friends telling me that I had personally offended them at their core, it seemed
