I write today to thank the ND administration for its collective herculean efforts to bring students back for a “live” fall semester despite initial challenges. I do so as an enthusiastic member of the Notre Dame family — I am a double Domer. My wife is a double Domer. My siblings are all Domers. Our

In my time at Notre Dame, I have encountered many brilliant and dedicated students. I see them in the mornings reading over dining hall eggs, late at night working in the library and dorm study carrells and after class doing problem sets at my apartment’s kitchen table. Some of them pull all-nighters and some of

This isn’t how any of us wanted the year to end. The misfortune of losing two months of what seems like the ever-fleeting college experience would be difficult for any student, but for the collective class of 2020 at Holy Cross, Saint Mary’s and Notre Dame, it’s nothing short of devastating. What should have been

Dear Student Body, Two years ago, I was asked to be a part of a video project that hoped to invite people to Mass following each Notre Dame Football game. The concept was really quite simple: Weave a few clips of me preparing for and celebrating Mass together with some high-energy shots from around campus,

One of my dad’s friends from his own days as a student at Notre Dame, someone who is like an uncle to me, told me during my freshman year that life — and college in particular — is about finding those people you would want with you in a bar. People you love, people you

On Saturday, Nov. 17, the Sophomore Class Council, Student Government Executive Cabinet, Junior Class Council and Notre Dame Athletics Marketing co-hosted a viewing of the Shamrock Series game, in which Notre Dame trounced Syracuse by a margin of 36–3. Turnout for the event was high, with conservative estimates putting the number of how many students

Sitting in the Atlanta airport watching the masses buzz by I am struck by my anonymity. Nobody knows me here. In some ways that’s good. Nobody really cares that I just dropped marinara from my lukewarm pizza bagel onto my jeans. But it also makes me miss my family, not just my family at home

“Control is a mirage. The most effective leaders right now — men and women — are those who embrace traits once considered feminine. Empathy. Vulnerability. Humility. Inclusiveness. Generosity.” — Leigh Buchanan Empathy. Every year, The Posse Foundation and Posse Scholars facilitate an annual weekend-long PossePlus Retreat attended by members of the larger student body, faculty

I fell into The Observer freshman year after hearing of a friend who worked for them and got paid to go to the Florida State game to take photos. This sounded too cool to be true. I decided to meagerly reach out and apply for a position in the photo department, hoping that my hobby since
