St. Joseph Beach is open this fall for the first time since the COVID-19 shutdown. Having just opened its doors last week, the beach is fully stocked with staff, sand and sun for the tri-campus community to enjoy. During the three years of off-time, RecSports gave this space a makeover. “We took that opportunity to

The first fall of snow is always the most memorable experience of a South Bend winter. However, by the time January and February roll around, the cold just becomes an inconvenient nuisance. In addition to the horrid wind chill, black ice covers the sidewalk that makes your usual walk back to the dorm a consistent

A few days ago on my way across campus, instead of hurrying to get to where I was going like I normally do, I took time to admire the snow. I noticed how beautiful the Golden Dome looked as the snow fell down and how much people seemed to be embracing the moment. Being from

It’s that time of year in South Bend where campus freezes over and the permacloud chronically deprives us of sunlight. It’s all about perspective, really, because when the snow on the ground is still white, my morning coffee tastes just bitter enough, and my Spotify shuffles to the right track by The Velvet Underground and

I have seen snow less than 10 times. Nine times to be exact. My first time was years ago while snowboarding at Big Bear Mountain in California. The other eight times were at Notre Dame. Snow is still a novel idea to me. I vaguely remember what snow is like from the trip to California,

Notre Dame welcomed parents and families to campus Friday for Junior Parents Weekend (JPW), an annual celebration for juniors and any seniors who spent spring semester of their junior year abroad. Junior Madi Purrenhage, executive co-chair of JPW, said the weekend offered an opportunity for students to relax with family members. “It’s just a really

RALEIGH, N.C. — I’m really not sure there’s a way to properly describe the asininity of Saturday’s game. If you simply played the principal’s response to Billy Madison — you know, the “I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul” one — it would probably do a better job than this column

I stepped outside early this past Monday morning, clad in Sperry’s and sans socks with only a light jacket. Sure, it was a little brisk out, but it wasn’t bad at all — I headed to class no worse for wear. I’d been enjoying the span of pleasant weather the weekend had brought to campus.

Last year, I left Indiana for winter break with Chet Faker’s “Thinking in Textures” ringing in my ears. “I’m Into You” came up on a Flume binge sometime around Thanksgiving and soon after infiltrated every playlist I created. YouTube’s “suggestions for you” just get me. Faker’s warm raspy voice against the crisp sound of a

Construction crews for the Campus Crossroads project made progress on initial construction steps and excavations around the stadium after the least snowy December in South Bend’s recorded history. “The construction team took advantage of this great fortune and worked six to seven days a week in anticipation of the onset of more typical winter weather,
