As a graduating senior, I have made an effort to reflect on some of my most impactful moments throughout my time in this university, joyous and horrific alike. One that will forever leave the most bitter of tastes in my mouth is that of when I sought an exemption from the University’s edict that all undergraduate students ought to live in a dorm.
This fall, as a result of the advocacy of previous Gateway students, a new housing process has been introduced for current gateway and transfer students. These students will be able to request another transfer as their roommate and rank their top three hall preferences, prioritizing whether matching their roommate or hall is more important to them.

The teams take the ice Friday, Feb. 13, at 7 p.m. ET and Saturday, Feb. 14, at 6 p.m. ET at Compton Family Ice Arena. Although the Gophers are not one of Notre Dame’s greatest rivals, the Irish will continue to display their newfound grit as Minnesota looks to contend in the playoffs.
Coming off a 9-5 season in which they made it to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s lacrosse team returns to the field this Saturday to open its season against the Marquette Golden Eagles. As they do almost every season, the Irish have very high expectations, but there are going to be some key adjustments that the Irish are going to need to make with some key players from last season moving on.
Last season was a tale of two halves for Notre Dame baseball in Shawn Stiffler’s third year at the helm. The Irish opened the campaign 16-17 before ending the season on a 16-4 run that came to an end in the first round of the ACC tournament with a 10-inning loss to Boston College. That finish has Stiffler and the rest of the team looking to capitalize at the beginning of the season this time around.
CBS Sports reported Tuesday that Notre Dame and Villanova are close to finalizing an agreement to open the 2026-27 college basketball season with a doubleheader in Rome. The proposed twin bill would see the Irish and Wildcats square off in both men’s and women’s basketball as the first games of the new season.
The act of preparing a meal for another human being is one of the most loving actions a person can do. It’s ingrained in our genetic memory: when we share a meal together, we feel connected, whether it be sitting by the cave fire in 10,000 BCE enjoying some mammoth kebab or heating Trader Joe’s pasta in 2026 AD in a cramped dorm kitchen.
The No. 21 Notre Dame men’s golf team has a chance to measure itself against the nation’s best this weekend as they travel to Gainesville, Florida for the Gators Invitational. After a blazing fall campaign, the Irish kick off their spring season against the likes of No. 2 Auburn, No. 10 Florida and No. 12 Oklahoma State amongst a well-assembled cast of strong programs.
Everyone knows LinkedIn stands alongside the computer, the printing press and fire as one of the most important inventions in history. Unfortunately, though, many Notre Dame students woefully underutilize it. These poor souls have no idea what they’re missing out on, but The Observer is here to help. Here is your guide to posting on LinkedIn for every situation you might encounter.
In the 180-year history of the Notre Dame Marching Band, Saint Mary’s junior Kimberly Ortiz-Morales joins Linda Lawson Batista ’81, Jill Ann Buettner ’21 and Hana Larkins ’23 as the fourth Saint Mary’s drum major in band history.
As a young alumnus working in Catholic education, I regularly recommend Notre Dame to prospective families. The rich and vibrant Catholic life available to students at Notre Dame made all the difference in my life. Like many, I went to Notre Dame for its prestigious ranking, and I graduated having found real joy in my Catholic faith.
The former British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, once joked with her cabinet colleagues that “When I’m out of politics I’m going to run a business, it’ll be called rent-a-spine.” I never imagined that the University of Notre Dame could be a customer.
The Winter Olympics are in full swing in Milan, and Team USA is making every preparation to dominate on the ice. The 2026 Winter Olympics is the first time women’s professional hockey players have ever represented Team USA due to the establishment of the Professional Women’s Hockey League in North America in 2023. Similarly, this year’s contest is the first time since the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, that National Hockey League players have been allowed to compete on the men’s side.

The Notre Dame men’s basketball team traveled to Dallas to take on the SMU Mustangs, where they suffered another tough loss, 89-81, in a game where they were highly competitive. Freshman guard Jalen Haralson had another strong showing with 23 points on nine-of-13 shooting, but it wasn’t enough to outshine SMU’s offensive performance. Senior guard Jaron Pierre led the way for the Mustangs with 22 points, doing the majority of his damage in the second-half. Senior guard Boopie Miller also had a 20-point performance with a huge first half. Pierre and Miller played off of each other well and gave the Irish’s defense trouble all game. Sophomore center Samet Yigitoglu was a force in the paint for the Mustangs, adding 11 points and 10 rebounds. Sophomore and junior guards Cole Certa and Braeden Shrewsberry both added 16 points each for Notre Dame.
Last May, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 1, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. According to the White House, the bill was officially signed into law on July 4, 2025, by President Donald Trump to, among other things, avoid a nearly $4 trillion tax hike from the expiration of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. With the bill’s passage, questions remain about what this year’s financial aid season may look like for students applying for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and other government grants.
On the chilly night of Feb. 4, I was sweetly warmed by the smiles of the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center ticket takers and greeters taking in the doors’ gusts of cold air as they welcomed those hungry for the rejuvenating tune of the Notre Dame Collegium Musicum choir. From 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., the Chris & Anne Reyes Organ & Choral Hall echoed with Latin madrigals sung by the Notre Dame Collegium Musicum, directed by the University’s very own Dan Stowe. The concert proceeded with a collection of the music of the Italian composer Claudio Giovanni Antonio Monteverdi and his contemporaries through a stunning a capella performance that I didn’t foresee myself starving for.
Each year, as millions tune in nationwide to watch “the big game,” brands and companies have a lucrative opportunity to sell their product to an incredibly large audience — if they’re able to pay the $8 million to $10 million price tag for a spot, that is. Once that’s secured, they pull out all the stops to ensure that their ad is the one that people talk about, and it’s gotten to the point that many viewers, myself included, are more interested in watching an ad than the game itself. The culture surrounding Super Bowl advertising has developed in such a way that the ads themselves have become their own form of entertainment to the point where they often have teaser trailers as if they were a TV show or film. However, not all ads are created equal, even with all the money poured into them.
