I, like many during this winter break, fell into the deceptively destructive routine of waking up, working out (shoutout CorePower Yoga!), getting ready and then spending the rest of my day in bed doomscrolling. My comatose state lasted hours and consisted of nothing but scrolling through TikTok and — in classic political science fashion — The New York Times.
One week into its reign as the king of college football, Indiana University has yet to descend from the mountaintop of glory. The same is true of its millions and millions of fans. And why should they? As many have rightly pointed out, Indiana’s victory is a triumph for the sport’s parity and the die-hard Hoosiers who have witnessed decades of their team’s irrelevancy. My colleague Thea Bendaly wrote an excellent column last week discussing her personal journey as an ancestral Indiana fan as well as the implications of IU’s historic victory. Hailing from Carmel, Ind. from a family of Hoosiers, obviously Thea can claim IU’s victory.
After months of construction, preparation and anticipation, Saint Mary’s College launched the newly established Prikkel Advising, Career and Experience Center with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday afternoon. The center, located in the newly renovated wing on the first floor of Le Mans Hall, will serve as the home for Career Services (previously known as the Career Crossings Office), academic advising and a newly minted position, the dean of career integration.
The 36-foot-tall statue, “Endless,” which stood outside the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art for nearly three years on the University’s campus, was found broken on the ground in two pieces late in the afternoon on Dec. 10.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s lacrosse team is coming off a solid year, qualifying for the NCAA Tournament and reaching the last eight before losing to the Penn State Nittany Lions in a second half collapse that surely haunted Irish fans all off-season. Fortunately, the wait for the 2026 lacrosse season is soon to be over, with two exhibition games to be played on Friday and Sunday, and the regular season starting around three weeks later on Feb. 14.
After a five-game stretch away from South Bend, Notre Dame hockey will host Ohio State at the Compton Family Ice Arena this weekend. The Irish head into the series at 4-17-1 and are still winless in Big Ten play at 0-12, while the Buckeyes check in at 7-12-1 (3-7-0 Big Ten). Ohio State is the final Big Ten team still yet to face the Irish in 2025-26.
The unranked Notre Dame women’s basketball team produced flashes of hope in a Monday afternoon brawl against No. 1 UConn in Storrs, Connecticut. But a flash became a distress signal, and an even second quarter gave way to a 85–47 thrashing-in-the-jaws of a devastating Huskies defense.
On Dec. 12, 2025, Netflix released the third installment of Rian Johnson's “Knives Out” trilogy. Fans of the series might be eager to see how this installment compares to the previous ones, especially in terms of tone and character development. This was a film I had been looking forward to for a long time, as I truly enjoy watching Daniel Craig prance around a crime scene in some fantastical locale, sounding like Foghorn Leghorn.
Two presidential tickets have announced their intention to qualify for the student body presidential election, seeking the 700 signatures required to appear on the student government election ballot. Petitions began on Jan. 14, and election hopefuls must reach the minimum signatures before the Jan. 26 deadline.
Tucked away in the basement of Holy Cross Hall in the old mail room lies the newly updated Saint Mary’s Student Package Center. Previously, Saint Mary’s students could find their delivered packages with their hall’s respective front desk employees, but the fall semester changed that, making a shift to a more centralized process of mail and package services.
Since the end of 2025, people have been talking about bringing back 2016. On TikTok or Instagram Reels you might have seen posts saying “2026 is the new 2016.” But what does yearning for earlier times say about our culture today?
President Donald Trump ramped up his proposal in recent days that the United States control Greenland. The world’s largest island is currently claimed by Denmark and has been since the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway dissolved in 1814.
If you have read my “author bio” below this column, you might have seen that if I could get dinner with any historical figure, one of them would be Paul Farmer. I believe Farmer was one of the most influential practitioners in healthcare, and I am eternally saddened that my nine-year-old self wasn’t a student at Notre Dame when he spoke here in 2011. Farmer was a medical anthropologist, professor at Harvard University, Chair of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School and founder of Partners in Health — an international non-profit that provides direct healthcare services and undertakes advocacy on behalf of those who are sick and living in poverty. Basically, he was the closest thing the 21st century had to Sts. Cosmas and Damian.
The snow has taken ahold of Notre Dame’s campus, and the winter sports are in full swing. But among them all, hockey has fallen into a rut, and subsequently cratered to the bottom of the Big Ten standings.
This January, Notre Dame Law School began accepting cases for its new Immigration Clinic, now its tenth clinic in operation. Designed and led by director Ashley Sanchez, the clinic offers pro bono legal assistance to members of the South Bend community while providing an experiential learning opportunity for graduate students.
Following the recent shooting that occurred at the intersection of Angela Boulevard and Michigan Avenue on Jan. 11, Saint Mary's Campus Safety department did not send out an alert to students.
The University of Notre Dame continues to make progress in its sustainability efforts through strategic planning, new initiatives and collaborative work. These developments build upon the University’s Comprehensive Sustainability Strategy, which was published in 2016. Despite touting improvements in campus dining and recycling, the University’s progress toward other stated goals, including reducing emissions, has slowed.
After three consecutive losses, the Saint Mary’s basketball team hosted Adrian Wednesday and came out on top with a 63-53 win. The Belles moved to 7-11 with the victory and 2-7 in conference play.
A proud man of Irish descent, my dad has always boasted about Ireland’s outsized cultural impact. He thought it was amazing how a tiny island’s culture has spread across the world and become cherished by so many: Irish pubs, U2, Samuel Beckett and “Normal People” are just some Irish exports I personally love. However, none may be as important as Irish dance, which is alive and well here on our campus: The Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s Irish Dance Team will be performing their annual showcase in Washington Hall this Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
