University of Notre Dame - Dome Yearbook

“OOIIh. The Notre^Danie experience can be summed up in four words: the Notre Dame fainily. We are all a part of the Notre Dame family, and this phenomenon touches us all in every aspect of our experience here on this beautiful campus. It can be witnessed in a unified student body f oHTiing a sea of green as they sway to the alma mater after each and every home football game; one can see the Notre Dame family in the community of domi masses; the Notre Dame family can be seen once more in an intimate gathering of undergraduates at the dining halls, sharing the details oi their days across a family-style table during the darkening Indiana night. Tlie beauty o{ this campus - the House that Rockne built, the majesty of Touchdown J esus, the solemnity of the grotto, the peacefulness of the lakes - is only surpassed by the beauty o{ the students that choose to make this campus their home for their years of collegiate study. To appreciate Notre Dame in all its fullness is to recognize the importance of the Notre Dame family and the students that make up that family. The Notre Dame family is why WE ARE ND. -Caitlin Oberst ( OpeiT^ing ”
