Few publicly predicted that America would ever call the Commander in Chief, “President Trump.” But as of November 8, 2016, that is our reality.
The setting is casual: a small group of friends gathering together in early November over Einstein’s bagels and too many jokes to count.
Jenna Kwak wears many hats. A Psychology and Pre-Health major from Seattle, she is also Howard Hall’s Music Commissioner and a volunteer at a local hospital. Her classmates may not realize, however, that Kwak is also a low socioeconomic status student, or in her words, “LSE.”
But Kwak says the “LSE” label does not define her.…
Around this time in 1988, nobody was crying, people weren’t calling for coaches to be fired and there was a bowl game to look forward to.
After a few months in office, we realized that Student Government has not historically done the best job reaching students.
Professor of Biological Sciences Hope Hollocher is known primarily for her work on the population ecology, microbiota and genetics of macaque monkeys in Southeast Asia, specifically, in Bali and Singapore. She has spent years researching these primates in the field, analyzing their DNA and studying their gut parasites, such as intestinal worms. Her main goal is to understand how genes and parasites move through macaque populations and how social interactions and human activity affect this movement.…
Only twice in the 16 years that Bob Franken has been Scholastic’s advisor has an unexpected news event required staff to doff the planned cover story and instead report the event on everyone’s mind.

Kathleen Boyle, Ph.D. is a visiting assistant professional specialist in the Italian studies section of the Department of romance languages and literatures. Before coming to Notre Dame, Boyle taught Italian language and culture courses at the College of William and Mary.
From your perspective, what is one of the differences between American culture and Italian culture?…
This fall, we wrote our Board of Trustees report on changing the culture of innovation and entrepreneurship on campus. We, as student government, do not think that innovation and tradition are fundamentally opposed to each other. Our university community can sustain our pristine tradition while it continues to live the mission Rev. Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C. originally intended for Our Lady’s university: to be disruptive agents for good. Sorin, perhaps Notre Dame’s greatest entrepreneur, risked everything and did the impossible in Indiana. As a 27-year old, he and a small team of seven built what is today the premier Catholic research institution in the world through a combination of hard work, courage of conviction and an unwavering and innovative vision.…
It seems that it’s becoming more and more important for the students of Notre Dame to vote. A walk from South Dining Hall to LaFun can be filled with dozens of flyers that remind you to exercise your civic duty with tons of catchy slogans or comics.

Rising on either side of the main entrance, Luigi Gregori’s 1884 Columbus murals greet all visitors to the University in an array of almost reverent majesty. Guests and students alike lower their voices and soften their footsteps as the grandeur sinks in: the high-arching dome, the historic architecture and the evocative image of an American hero taking in the promise of a new world. It’s enough to make anyone feel dwarfed in museum-like silence.…
Every year on the second Monday of October, something very ironic takes place at Notre Dame.
The idea that one’s vote won’t decide an election is perhaps the strongest it’s been in a long while.
Her opinion of Notre Dame changed completely after she reported a sexual assault. She says the system failed her. Now, she says, “All I have is hate.”

From Oct. 24 through 27, Student Government is hosting the first Race Relations Week in Notre Dame’s 175-year history.

Dr. Bolten has worked in Sierra Leone since 2003, making connections with many people in the capital, Freetown, as well as within the University of Makeni. When the Ebola virus began spreading in Sierra Leone, she donated money to several charity organizations in West Africa, such as Doctors Without Borders. Her perspective changed in August of 2014 when a close friend of hers passed away due to Ebola, prompting her to put together her own comprehensive effort to combat Ebola.
