Notre Dame Alumane Share Their Stories

The sense of community at Notre Dame is one of the things that makes our college special. It's one of the first things that prospective students notice when they visit, and one of the important factors that brought many of us here. For some previous students, it also drew them back to their alma mater as faculty or staff members.  I was able to interview several of these special alumnae.

Inspiration vs. Plagiarism

This difference between inspiration and plagiarism is like the difference between borrowing and stealing. It’s like “made from real cheese” vs. “cheese-flavored product.” One is good, one is gross, and sometimes you can’t tell the difference, especially if you’re my age.

Heavenly Gaze

A Poem by Erin Hamilton

Heavenly Gaze  I was born to look out the window A space of heavenly glow  An angel that wisely speak Very strong, but not weak  They come down from the sky To clip wings, so people can fly  The life on earth to heaven above Where god makes them feel a lot of love  They are sent when time has come For people to pass, and then some  All to enjoy life and rest in god’s hand Be at peace and reincarnate back on land  Now back on earth as a living thing So we can admire it, as beautiful bling.
