Although it’s been a chilly start to winter in South Bend, with campus now under a foot of snow, there’s still time for Notre Dame hockey to get hot. With 16 games remaining, the Irish nearly have half their schedule left to play.
The United States carried out a military operation in Venezuela on Jan. 3, 2026, with President Donald Trump announcing that Nicolás Maduro, along with his wife Celia Flores, had been kidnapped and removed from power.

“What Does It Mean to Live a Good Life?” Philosophers and academics have been pondering the question for centuries, and Notre Dame will take its turn at answering it in 2026. In an email to the campus community Thursday morning, Fr. Robert Dowd announced the 2026-27 Notre Dame Forum theme.
Notre Dame has received a $50.8 million grant from the Lilly Endowment to support the DELTA Network, an expansion of the faith-based AI ethics framework developed by the University’s Institute for Ethics and the Common Good. The grant is the largest Notre Dame has ever received from a private foundation in University history.
Associate professor of global affairs Susan Ostermann will lead the Keough School of Global Affairs’ Liu Institute of Asia and Asian Studies as director beginning July 1, an appointment sparking controversy due to her public advocacy for abortion rights.
Gen Z has a new online obsession, and it’s the resurgence of mimicry. From TikTok creators like @juicy.jacobb cosplaying as Megamind and The Lorax in public spaces to influencer Joey Morof’s (or @notthekombuchaman) viral Hugh Jackman impressions of modern pop songs featuring Jackman-esque vibrato and lyric changes, creative comics have reinvigorated the ancient art of impressions through online videos, and I, for one, am here for it.
The Notre Dame fencing team returns to collegiate action this weekend to travel to the Philadelphia Invitational on Saturday before competing at the St. John’s Invitational on Sunday. This will be the Irish’s first strictly-collegiate meet since the triumph at the Elite Invitational hosted by Ohio State in November.
The Notre Dame men’s tennis program enters the spring season with high hopes following a stellar individual fall season. After a strong 10-2 start to the 2025 team season, the Irish struggled against a tough ACC schedule, finishing 1-12 in conference matchups. By the end of the ACC Men’s Tennis Championship, Notre Dame gutted out a promising 4-3 win over Miami, avenging a 2-4 loss earlier in the season, before falling 1-4 to No. 19 Duke. With flashes of potential last spring, combined with a strong recruiting season, tennis fans are hoping for a big jump for the Irish men’s team in 2026.
The student senate met Wednesday for its first meeting of the spring 2026 semester.

Since Notre Dame football unknowingly concluded its 2025 campaign in the early morning hours of Nov. 30 in Palo Alto, California, the program has dominated the college football news cycle with multiple headlining stories. Despite the primetime 49-20 victory over Stanford, the Irish were omitted from the College Football Playoff, and then in an equally surprising decision opted not to participate in a postseason bowl game.
When the United States first began to express interest in Greenland, any proposal to “buy” the land was quickly dismissed by Denmark and its Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen as absurd. Yet, this Monday a House Republican introduced legislation to annex Greenland. The legislation is largely a symbolic show of support by Republicans for Trump’s foreign policy, but nonetheless shows how the question of Greenland has begun to worm into both domestic and international politics. Absurdity is now becoming reality, and Denmark and Europe must reckon with the fact that the President of the United States is insistent on claiming this autonomous territory “one way, or another.”

Students returned from Christmas break to eagerly support their Irish men’s basketball team (10-7) against the Miami Hurricanes (15-2) in the fourth conference contest of the year. In what many fans hoped to be a revenge opportunity from the sour loss in football, Notre Dame fell 81-69 in a strong second half effort from the Hurricanes.
In a time when the future of cinema is deeply uncertain due to industry collapse and cultural degradation, “Marty Supreme” has been a beacon of hope. Its sprawling, bold marketing campaign — spearheaded by star Timothée Chalamet — was something to behold. Surreal comedy sketches, blimps and rap collabs generated actual hype for an original film, a near impossibility in this environment. Accordingly, its box office performance has been very strong, and it is on track to become one of A24’s highest grossing films. But beneath all the buzz and Chalamet’s awards season success, what is “Marty Supreme” really about?
I have been unemployed for all my life. To be completely honest, I don’t view this as an issue, but rather a testament to my consistency. However, my so-called “dad” says that I need to get a job if I want to continue eating my family’s food and using their electricity for my “experiments.” So I went on Indeed, LinkedIn and Feet Finder to find a way to earn a decent, respectable living, but was instead greeted with rejections and ghosting from every entry-level position I applied to — reasons such as “not having enough experience,” “AI having more efficiency,” or “being banned from all Denny’s establishments” were frequently cited by my would-be employers. I was crushed, but luckily, I am not alone, which is great because I get scared when I am alone. Currently, college graduates across the country are having trouble finding jobs even if their degrees are a perfect fit for the position. But do not fret, my fellow unemployable compatriots! I have compiled another healthy and normal list for you to follow in the hunt for some coinage.
Pete Buttigieg, former transportation secretary under President Joe Biden, will return to the University of Notre Dame next week for a fireside chat sponsored by the Keough School of Global Affairs. The event will take place in the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center at 1:30 p.m. Jan. 23. Tickets are required.
I’ve seen quite a few opinion articles lately exalting compromise, consensus and saying please and thank you when you’re debating with your racist uncle at Thanksgiving. This makes sense. The anger and vitriol that politics brings out of people is unpleasant. People will throw a level of decency out the door that they never would when discussing any other topic. Who really likes ugly politics?
This is the sixth installment of Meghan Sullivan’s series about DELTA, Notre Dame’s faith-based framework for a world of powerful AI.
The masculine urge to drop out of Notre Dame and become armed security for an illegal mining operation somewhere in Africa has been one of my most recent intrusive masculine thoughts. It dawned upon me during a conversation in the kitchen with my roommate where I ranted about all the things I’d rather do and places I’d rather be than be studying for my finals. At that moment, I thought I would much prefer to give up living in the United States and return to my ancestral homeland of Vietnam, where I would wander rural towns with a palm-sized wicker basket to beg for alms. I thought I would much prefer to move to the plains of Argentina and immerse myself in rearing cattle, with the hopes of eventually opening up a steakhouse to feed the local community. But this idea about protecting an illegal mining operation and defending my transportation convoy from an ambush by a militia, backed by our competitor, seemed most attractive to me.
