Change is scary, and you are about to embark upon one of the biggest changes in your life:
college. Before you come to ND this fall, take a moment to rehect upon the things you would
like to do at college: your academic goals, the kind of person you would like to be at the end
of the year, and other things you wish to gain from your hrst year here at Notre Dame.
Class of 2012 graduate Jackie Nerola tells us about how she has changed academically and
socially during her time in Walsh.

! think !'ve grown a lot responsibility-wise," said Jackie. !'ve learned when ! am supposed to
get school work done, and when ! can take time to go hang out with friends."

Jackie stated that one of the best parts about living in Walsh is that you will quickly gain a
big group of girlfriends. These are the girls who you will be able to share secrets and create
lasting memories with. Only in college will you have this special opportunity."

Dear Walshies,
Welcome home! We are thrilled to welcome you as the newest members of the Walsh family.
! hope you are enjoying your time at home while getting ready for one of the greatest ad-
ventures of your life. We have been working away all spring and summer to make this ex-
perience special for you. We have two phenomenal Assistant Rectors, Erin and Stephanie an
all-star hall staff of Nartha, Allie, Emily and Naggie, beyond wonderful hall clerks Stephanie
and Katie, the most energetic Frosh-O team in the history of Notre Dame and the best Hall
Council on campus!
One thing you will notice about Walsh right from the beginning is what we have termed
Walsh Love." Walsh Love is going the extra mile for another W!LD Woman, staying up all
night in South Lounge studying for your calculus test with girls from your hoor, going to Pep
Rallies together, playing Walsh football, supporting a girl down the hall in her dance perfor-
mance, going to Walsh Mass and overall, building up this community. This abundance of
Walsh Love was recognized in 2011, as we were honored to win Women's Hall of the Year!"
!t is an exciting time to come into Walsh and we couldn't be more excited that you are, our
newest additions to the community.
As ! remember back to the summer before my freshman year of college, ! recall a mix of
emotions. Some days ! could not wait for the independence and new experiences that come

with moving away from home. Other times ! was nervous

for all that college entailed. ! would switch from being
thrilled at the thought of meeting new friends to anxious
about being away from everything ! knew and loved. !
could not wait for the new adventures, but ! also did not
want to leave my friends and family. !f there is one thing
! have learned, it is that everyone else is feeling the ex-
act same way. !t may feel like you are the only one, but !
promise that everyone else is having those same feelings
too. Be gentle with yourself through this process; allow
yourself to feel excited one moment and sad the next. Also,
be sure to reach out to others. Whether it is me, your RA, a
roommate, or a new friend down the hall, know that there is
always someone there for you. And remember, that's what
Walsh love is all about.
Of course, if there is anything that ! can do to help out,
please let me know! ! cannot wait to meet you!
Walsh Love,
Annie

Walsh Hall was built in 1909. !t was named after Notre Dame's sixth president, Father Thom-
as Walsh, who is credited as the instigator of Notre Dame's hrst intercollegiate football team
in 1887. Walsh was considered a luxurious" dorm in its early days; not only did Walsh boast
suites with private baths, bay windows, and single rooms, but all of the rooms featured clos-
ets. !n addition, Walsh had a recreation room in the basement. According to the 1910 DONE,
various devices of amusement," such as pool tables and bowling alleys were in this recre-
ation room and during the winter months [the bowling alleys| were thronged with students."
!n 1972, the year that women were hrst admitted to Notre Dame, Walsh, along with Badin,
was renovated to become a women's dorm. As one of the smallest residence halls on cam-
pus, Walsh houses 186 women.

Walsh Hall is located in the center of campus and faces the main quad, which holds the
Administration building (the Dome), the Basilica, and Sorin College (the hrst guys' dorm on
campus), LaFortune Student Center, Crowley Hall of Nusic, and Hayes-Healy (where most
math classes are). This main quad is more widely known as God Quad," which would seem
to make us the holiest women on campus, but you can decide for yourself!

Some of you might be asking yourself, What on earth is a Rector?"
A rector is a full-time staff member who lives in Walsh with us. A rector can be thought of in
3 ways: minister, educator and professional. Here are some things you might go to talk to
Annie about:
- General life stuff: Adjusting to college, making friends, being away from home, what
you want to be when you grow up, and stuff like that.
- Spirituality: Questions of faith, thoughts on the Church, where God is in your life.
- Academics: How classes are going, struggles with a class, what you want to study.
- Sickness: Annie can help you get an excused absence and take care of you when you
inevitably get the cold that's passed around Walsh come October.
- Discipline: Lets hope that these conversations arent abundant. If any cases of disci-
pline come up, Annie is the one you talk to about it.
- Tv: She's a sucker for bad Tv. And good Tv, but mainly bad Tv.
And the list goes on and on! Any time you want, just stop by Annie's room (111). You don't
need to have anything specihc to talk about, just come on by!

Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, C.S.C. who led Notre Dame from 1952 to 1987, oversaw consid-
erable expansion in the campus and in the endowment. !n this period several new institutes
were established, faculty qualihcations and salaries increased and the Program of Liberal
Studies Najor was introduced. !n 1967, inhuenced by the Second vatican Council, the Congre-
gation of Holy Cross transferred ownership and control of ND to a predominantly lay Board of
Trustees, requiring only that the school's president be a Holy Cross priest.
Rev. Edward A. Monk Malloy, C.S.C., served as the University's 16th president. The
campus continued to grow under his leadership. !n 1997 four new dorms opened up forming
West Quad. The inside of the Nain Building was reconstructed, and the Hammes Bookstore at
the Eck Center, the Eck visitors' Center and Rolfs Sports Recreation Center were built in the
late 1990's. Other buildings that have opened up since 2000 include the Edward A. Nalloy,
C.S.C. Hall, the Coleman Norse Center, the Narie P. DeBartolo Center for the Performing Arts
and the Hammes-Nowbray Hall. Nonk lives next door in Sorin College.
Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., was elected president-elect of the University of Notre Dame
by the Board of Trustees on April 30, 200+, and became the University's 17th president on
July 1, 2005. He served the previous four years as vice president and associate provost.
This is the history of the University of Notre Dame - the tradition of which you are now a
part. We welcome you, thinking of the words with which the Basilica ends in St. Patrick's Day
Nass: Deamfaidh siblise fos nios fearr," !rish lines that say You will do even greater things."

Deep in the heart of the American Nidwest lies a school dedicated to the Nother of God.
The men who founded the University hrst called the school L'Universitie de Notre Dame du Lac.
On November 26, 18+2, they came to a ten-acre clearing in the Potawatomi wilderness. !t was
the coldest winter on record and they had only three hundred and ten dollars in cash, several
horses and an ox. On the site were two frozen lakes, a mantle of snow and a twenty four by forty
foot log cabins built by an early missionary named Rev. Badin. Rev. Edward Sorin, C.S.C. and his
seven companions looked around them, consecrated the site and declared it a University.
Rev. Sorin wrote his superior in France, We made haste to inspect all the various sites on the
banks of the lake which had been so highly praised. Yes, like little children, in spite of the cold
we went from one extremity to the other." (Thus starting a tradition of running around the lakes,
which many ND students enjoy doing).
Despite hnancial hardships and a cholera outbreak in 185+, Notre Dame grew and hourished. A
sister school, St. Nary's Academy (now College), took root nearby under the guidance of Holy
Cross sisters. Rev. Patrick Dillon took over as Notre Dame's president and constructed a new Nain
Building to hold classrooms, a library, a dining hall and dormitories for both students and faculty.
The left wing of the building, then Carroll Hall, was home to the prep school students; the right,
then Brownson Hall, housed students of collegiate age. The youngest students (minims") lived
in St. Edward's Hall. During the Civil War, Holy Cross priests and sisters frequently served as
chaplains and nurses, respectively. Among the chaplains was Rev. William Corby, C.S.C. who won
the love of !rish-Americans as chaplain of the !rish Brigade. From 1866 - 1881, there were four
University presidents: Rev. Corby, who served twice, Rev. August Lemonnier, C.S.C. (Rev. Sorin's
nephew) and Rev. Patrick Colovin,C.S.C.
!n April 1879, wood shavings that construction workers had left behind on the Nain Building's
roof ignited in the sunlight and the university burnt to the ground. Rev. Corby was serving his
second term as the president at that time. Hearing the news, Rev. Sorin broke short a visit to
Nontreal, returned to Notre Dame and gathered everyone together into the church, which was
one of the few buildings left standing. Tomorrow we will begin again and build it bigger," he
said. And when it is built, we will put a gold dome on top, with a golden statue of the Nother of
God, so that everyone who comes this way will know to whom we owe whatever great future this
place has." Helped by the students who stayed over the summer, Rev. Corby rebuilt the school by
the beginning of the fall term.
!n the next decades, under the administrations of Rev. Thomas E. Walsh, C.S.C., Rev. Andrew
Norrissey C.S.C., Rev. John W. Cavanaugh, C.S.C., and Rev. James A. Burnsand, C.S.C., the
watchful eye of Nary's statue on the dome (a gift from St. Nary's College) the University of Notre
Dame became a school of national prominence. Academics became more solid; the prep school
was closed, the school was organized into four colleges and faculty qualihcations were stiffened.
Rev. Julius Neiuwland invented synthetic rubber and Rev. Albert Zahm, C.S.C. conducted aero-
nautic research that helped lead to the hrst airplane. !n 1883, Notre Dame gave its hrst Laetare
medal to John Gilmay Shea in honor of an outstanding American Catholic.

Hello my friends, and welcome to Walsh Hall! Ny name is Nartha Dee
and ! am so looking forward to being your hrst hoor RA this year. ! am
excited to invite you into this fabulous community, full of sugar and
caffeine-induced laughs and lasting friendships (those aren't necessar-
ily caffeine-induced, perhaps sugar though). You are lucky and quite
blessed to have been placed in the best dorm on campus, where you
are sure to hnd some of your fondest memories here at Notre Dame.
Well, a few words about little ol' me. ! am an Environmental Science
major with a minor in Sustainability and ! have truly enjoyed every

agriculture and urban development, so ! have spent the last two years

doing undergraduate research in this held. That was probably one of the best decisions !
have made since ! have been at ND, so if you have any questions please do not hesitate to
ask! ! have served as Walsh's Sustainability Commissioner and Academic Chair this past year
and ! believe that getting involved around campus is the best way to get a jump start on
making friends and hnding your place here at Notre Dame.
Here are a few factoids will help you navigate the deep waters of NARTHA DEE:
1) ! am able to cry out of one eye when ! don't want the person next to me to see that
Im crying during The Notebook for the 18th time.
2) ! want to live on a self-sustaining farm in Nontana when ! grow up.
3) ! believe that the elderly can provide youth with much more than we could ever read
in a textbook, so ! visit a nursing home on Thursdays and you are more than welcome
to join. Actually, ! highly encourage it.

These are going to be some of the most challenging,

but most rewarding and fun years of your life and !
am honored to be a part of them. Take advantage
of all the fantastic events that happen on campus
and soak up your four short years here (your parents
weren't lying when they told you that college hies
by). And understand that you have been brought
to this place for a reason, so enjoy every second. I
can't wait to meet you all!
Crying out of one eye is an acquired skill that ! can
teach upon request.

Hi girls! Congratulations on your incredible achievement and accep-
tance to Notre Dame. ! cannot express how incredibly excited ! am
for this year-especially for this new class of Walsh Freshman! You all
should be pretty stoked because Walsh is hands down THE best dorm
on campus. God quad location, fall frolic shenanigans, W!LD week
spirit, and incredible spiritual and community lifesoon youll be par-
taking in these great traditions and soon youll start bragging, too!
Ny name is Emily Hoffmann and ! will be your third hoor RA. ! am
currently an !ndustrial Design and Pre-Ned student. ! say currently"
because I have probably changed my major more times than you have
changed clothes this past week. A bit of advice for all you undecided
freshman out there, take that class that has always interested you
but may not ht perfectly with your current career path. You just might
hnd your niche - ! sure did! !'m from Ninnetonka, Ninnesota, and am
Minnesota through and through. Ive learned to mask the accent but if
your lucky a few long o"s may come out and about here and there. !n

high school, I played and coached tennis, and even though the racket has become a bit dusty
at college, !'m always looking to hit with anyone of any level. ! also enjoy running the lakes,
spending time outside on the quad, and just relaxing with friends. Lastly, ! love spending time
with my favorite sitcom hubby, Phil Dunphy, and you can bet !'ll be watching on Wednesdays
at 9.
Outside of the dorm ! work as a student intern at the Ofhce of University Relations where !
specialize in special event protocol. ! love what ! do, and it has given me the opportunity to
meet some pretty incredible people, too! Last year I also volunteered at the Logan Center
where ! taught a cooking class for kids with autism. We made almost every dessert under the
sun and it's my hope you'll stop by my room for some homemade treats and good times next
year, too! ! spent last summer studying abroad in Toledo, Spain and had the best 6 weeks of
my life. ! stayed with a host family during the week
and traveled to Barcelona, Nadrid, Granada, and Pam-
plona on the weekends-unforgettable!
Now that you know a little about me, ! absolutely can-
not wait to meet all of you! !f you have any questions
about dorm life or the transition to ND, please, do not
hesitate to shoot me an e-mail at ehoffma5@nd.edu.
! am here for whatever you might need and am happy
to help. Looking forward to meeting you soon and
welcome home!

Hey girls! First of all, congratulations on making the
best decision of your lives - coming to Notre Dame!
You'll come to love and cherish this place and !'m
jealous of you as you begin this exciting journey like
I did not so long ago. But on top of that, youre in
WALSH, which is by far the best dorm on campus
(really, my friends in other dorms wish they were
in Walsh)! The most special things about Walsh
are the small, close-knit community, the beautiful
(and sometimes weird) architecture and look of the
building, and the best friends that are made here.

!'m so excited for you to make Walsh your own.

So, !'m Allie and !'m from Cary, NC, in the Raleigh area. !'ll be your 2nd hoor RA next year
and !'m ridiculously excited! !'m a Science Preprofessional major and Philosophy minor, so
you pre-meds out there (there will be many of you!) are more than welcome to come chat
with me about med school plans, orgo stress, and the future in general. ! studied abroad in
the fall of my junior year in Puebla, Nexico, and it was one of the greatest experiences of my
life. So if you have any questions about Spanish at Notre Dame or how to get involved in
serving the Latino community here I love to talk about that too!
At Notre Dame, !'ve sung in two different choirs, the Women's Liturgical Choir and the Uni-
versity Chorale. ! highly recommend getting involved with music on campus! Being involved
is a great way to make friends beyond your instant best friends from Walsh and pursue fun
extra-curriculars. !'ve also done a hodge-podge of service work at ND ranging from tutor-
ing Latino elementary school kids at La Casa de Amistad to running science experiments for
young girls in South Bend. For my senior year, !'ll be working on developing a way to donate
all the wasted food from the various cafes on campus
to the needy in the community!
When Im not studying or doing activities, I like to
watch Nad Nen and bum around the dorm. And eat
food. ! plan to have lots of food in my room next
year, so please please come eat it with me so ! don't
eat it all myself ;)
That said, welcome home to Walsh! Enjoy your sum-
mer and get ready to have the adventure of your life.
! can't wait to get to know all of you so soon!

Favorite ND Event: AnTostal-A week of free stuff and awesome events, what's not to love?
Favorite study spot: The ACE building-not a lot of people have discovered it yet because it was
just built last year, but it is beautiful and on the top hoor there's this little alcove that's perfect for be-
ing secluded and studying for many hours. Plus it's very close to Walsh if you forgot anything and also
close to LaFun if you need a quick snack or Starbucks
Favorite dining hall food: Apple slices and peanut butter
Favorite Club/Activity Im Involved In: Ultimate Frisbee Team!! ! just started playing last year as
a sophomore, and ! dehnitely wish ! had started a year earlier because it is the best! ! have met some
really awesome people and get to play a really fun sport with them. We even get to travel and play
teams from all over the US.
Funny/Embarrassing Story from Freshman Year: On the hrst day of class, ! was really nervous
about hnding the right class room, so ! left for class twenty minutes early. ! ended up wandering around
the building for a few minutes before asking someone for help. When ! hnally got to the classroom, !
walked right in to hnd everyone already sitting down and the teacher talking. ! was really confused be-
cause ! was still really early for class so it didn't make sense that they had started already. To my luck all
the seats were taken so ! awkwardly stood in the back of the classroom with people looking at me every
so often because ! was the late girl without a seat. When ! looked down at the book on someone's desk, !
realized that this couldn't be my class. ! was taking Elements of Statistics, and the book on the guy's desk
was for Calculus !!. ! hurriedly walked back out of the class, which proceeded to end twenty seconds later.
I had gotten to my class so early that the one before it hadnt even ended yet! Fifteen minutes later my
actual class started and all was good, and ! now know to check if the class before mine is still going!
Random Fact: Ny favorite shows are How ! Net Your Nother and Gilmore Girls and ! quote them of-
ten. ! own all the seasons of both shows and bring them to school with me. !f you ever need a study
break and want to watch an episode (or two or three) come by my room. !t would be legend.wait for
itdary!
Ask me about: Ask me about anything! ! promise you
there are no dumb questions or questions that are too
ridiculous, ! can assure you ! was probably wondering
the same thing as you when ! was a freshman. You can
also ask me any of the questions your parentfguardian
keeps pestering you about or wants to ask someone.

Hi Girls!
Welcome to Notre Dame and more importantly, Walsh Hall!
My name is Maggie Davis and I am absolutely thrilled to be
the RA on the +th hoor this year. After a semester on the hrst
hoor, ! am super excited to get those strong leg muscles back!
! am originally from Elm Grove, W!, a small town in the sub-
urbs of Nilwaukee and ! am obsessed with cheese and the
Packers, as any true Wisconsinite should be. ! am majoring in
Biological Sciences and Spanish and while ! would love to tell
you what ! plan on doing after graduation, ! am still trying to
hgure that out myself. Right now ! am leaning towards doing
service or graduate school, but stay tuned.
One of the most dehning parts of my Notre Dame experience
has been the community ! have experienced in Walsh and all

of the amazing friends ! have made in the dorm. ! have found several different ways to get
involved, including an attempt to play hag football freshman year, serving as apparel commis-
sioner my sophomore year, Eucharistic ministering at Walsh mass, and even just leaving my
door open and meeting girls in the hall!
Another great experience ! have had at Notre Dame is the semester that ! spent abroad in
Toledo, Spain during the fall of 2011. ! got to stay with a host family, take all of my classes
in Spanish, and travel all around Europe. Apparently that wasn't enough Spanishfinterna-
tional travel for me, as ! will be spending this summer doing an !nternational Summer Service
Learning Project (!SSLP) through the Center for Social Concerns. ! will be spending 9 weeks
doing medical service in a rural part of Ecuador. ! am super excited and would love to tell all
of you about it and show pictures next fall. ! have also been involved in the Urban Plunge
and Appalachia seminars through the Center for Social Concerns, and would love to talk to all
of you about getting involved in service trips or study abroad.
Whether you will be living on the fourth hoor or not,
please come visit me! ! love to bake and will do my best
to always have snacks in my room. Ny favorite show is
Gilmore Girls and ! have all seven seasons and would
love to watch with you and have the DeanfJessfLogan
debate. ! am so excited to meet all of you and welcome
you to the Walsh community. Please email me at mda-
vis17@nd.edu with any questions at all or just to intro-
duce yourselves. Enjoy the rest of your summer and get
ready for an incredible year!

Dame sweatshirts that ! don't need) and busy noise.
Favorite dining hall food: Rotisserie chicken. Whenever
South Dining Hall serves rotisserie chicken, it's like Christmas.
One time they didn't serve it for a month, so ! wrote a complaint letter to Notre Dame food
services about how upset ! was, and they served it every day as the special for a week the
next week! ! don't know if the dining hall was doing it to let me know to never, ever write them
again, or if they genuinely felt bad and wanted to make it up to me!
Best part about Walsh: The community. ! transferred into Walsh my Sophomore year from
another female dorm because ! was so jealous of how great of a dorm Walsh was, so hope-
fully that is proof to you all that Walsh is better than all other female dorms on campus! You
cannot beat the location, the beauty of Walsh, and the girls who make this dorm a giant family.
Funny story from freshmen year: I forgot to bring a backpack to college, so I carried
around all of my books and notebooks for two weeks while ! waited for my backpack to come in
the mail. ! dehnitely stood out, but on the bright side, it was a nice arm strengthening exercise!
Random fact: ! have a YouTube channel that teaches violin to the world! ! was offered a
partnership by Google my senior year and it has viewers from all of the continents. visit it at
www.youtube.comfkatescandyshack ! was one of twelve students followed for a week by the
Ofhce of Undergraduate Admissions and !'m on their website talking about my experience here at
Notre Dame so far! Watch my video on my own YouTube channel, or at www.admissions.nd.edu
Ask me about: Living gluten free, The Notre Dame Symphony Orchestra, The Notre Dame
Chamber Orchestra, tour guiding for the Ofhce of Undergraduate Admissions, NASAND (Na-
tive American club on campus), multicultural clubs on campus, S!BC (Student !nternational Busi-
ness Council), WSND 88.9 FN Notre Dame Radio and having your own radio show on campus,
classical music, being undecided, Florida, Ludwig van Beethoven, and adjusting to the weather.

sic coming from the chapel, its probably one
of us! Come on in and say hi!

Activities: GlobeNed (a new club on campus that raises awareness abut
global health. It has only been a club for about a semester, so its a great
opportunity to get involved in something for the ground hoor!) Pre Profes-
sional Society, Diversity Education, Breaking Through Barriers, and Under-
graduate Research
Favorite Freshman Class: ! took a class on Ancient Greece and Rome.
As a science student, it was great having a class that was literature and discussion based. !ts impor-
tant to remember to stay on track with major requirements, but also take a little bit of time every
semester to take a class tat genuinely interests you to avoid getting overwhelmed!
Favorite ND Event: The weekend before spring hnals, Keenan hosts Nuddy Sunday. The dorm
hoses down the helds by the lake and there is a huge volleyball tournament in the mud. !t is a great
way to blow off steam before hnals!
Favorite Study Spot: LaFortune is great if you're in the mood to pretend like doing work, but
don't have the energy to be super productive. You can bring your books, but you're guaranteed to
run into friends, go on a Huddle run for groceries, or attend a random event in the ballroom area. !f
it's time to buckle down, the lounge in CoNo is right behind Walsh. !t is quiet and in the afternoon
has free soda and popcorn!
Favorite Dining Hall Food: Pita and Hummus are my two staples. Our dining hall has great food
overall, and remember that almost anything can be made to taste better if run through a toaster or
doused with salt.
Best Part About Walsh: Nost dorms on campus have gross cinderblock hallways that look the same
and are easy to get lost in. Walsh's hallways are wide and have really pretty arches. Also, on football
weekend the old ladies (and sometimes men!) that walk around the dorm reminiscing about their time in
Walsh makes you really appreciate the dorms old age and character!
Funny Story From Freshmen Year: ! lost my phone at least once every two weeks during my
hrst semester. !t was found different places all over campus, including Walsh's second hoor recycling
bin, Rolf's, South Dining Hall (twice), and LaFortune. Once ! even left it behind in one of my classes
and it got turned in to an NDSP ofhcer, who texted every single person in my contact list, including
friends from high school and people ! hadn't talked to in years, to track me down and return it. After
that, ! hnally learned to be a little more careful.
Random Fact: Ny Grandma's dad arrested Colonel Sanders,
founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, for bootlegging.
Ask Me About: Club Sports or Pre Ned clubs and opportuni-
ties at Notre Dame. I joined club gymnastics last year, and its
really not as scary as you'd think! ebrown11@nd.edu
Photos: Before I started college, my sister and I decided to
go skydiving together. !t was scary, but my instructor kept an
eye on me the whole time, literally. Christmas at Notre Dame
is like no other! The entire campus is decked out and Walsh
has an intense interhoor decorating competition.

Favorite Dining Hall Food: The Crepe bar that North Dining Hall does on the week-

Fun Story from Freshman Year: !t was the hrst football game, and we lost, but there
kept being rain delays. During the hrst delay, my friends ad ! ran to Jordan and watched
football on the big screens in the lecture halls. Then, we went to the dining hall for
dinner. While we were at the dining hall, they announced the game would be starting
in twenty minutes, so we jumped up from the table and ran back to the stadium. Not
everyone returned after the rain delay, so we moved from row 50 to row 30, which was
awesome! Then, there was another delay, so we were hanging out in the stadium walk-
ways, and the people there started singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall, and we made
it all the way through, and during the last ten bottles of beer on the wall, everyone in the
walkway was jumping up and down, and when it was all over, everyone was high hving

Funny/Embarrassing Story from
Freshman Year: ! wasn't sure how !
felt about the whole bike thing when !
hrst got to college. ! decided against it at
hrst and then after getting lost on the way
to nearly every destination, ! went and
rented a bike. ! got a little overconhdent
on it and completely wiped out on my way
to the tennis courts when my earphones
came out and got tangled in the front
wheel. Several people stopped to ask me
if ! was okay. Embarrassed, ! lied, said
yes and biked the rest of the way in a lot of pain. ! have scars to prove it.
Random fact: !'m still working on that staple go-to fact when getting asked these

Hi W!LD Women! !'m Naggie Walsh, a rising
junior representing the 2nd hoor this year!
Im one of the many domers from Chicago,
specihcally Arlington (Action") Heights. ! am
studying Economics and Spanish, but !'m still
unsure about what ! want to do in the future
so no worries for all of you undecided majors!
Ny favorite part about Walsh is the amazing community we have. Over the past 2 years !'ve
really come to appreciate the friends of all years !'ve made in Walsh, which is a truly unique
even for Notre Dame. Embrace the Walsh love you will experience because it is a power that
can get you through anything! ! am a big fan of the SOUTH dining hall, and my favorite foods
there are the freshly baked cookies for lunch, daily apple slices, the dinner rolls, and the many
different kinds of French fries served on a rotation which ! have embarrassingly memorized.
Freshman year, ! remember going to the hrst men's soccer game the hrst weekend after frosh-
o. A big group of Walsh friends from my hoor heard that they were giving out free pizza at the
game, but just had gotten out of the dining hall late. The soccer held is pretty far from south
dining hall, but about 5 of us decided it was worth the pizza to sprint all the way there in our
Walsh shirts and school-girl skirts carrying a 5 foot tall banana we called Jaju" that my friend
Cathy won and thought to bring to the pep rally earlier as a joke. We dehnitely got a bunch
of weird looks and ended up being the hrst people not to get pizza but it was so much fun
anyways!
Feel free to ask me anything about Walsh intramurals, co-ed leagues for sports, etc. !'ve played
on Walsh soccer, basketball, lacrosse, tennis, and hag football so ! probably will be able to
help you answer questions regarding athletics! Also, ! am more than willing to answer general
questions about adjusting to college life, what
to bring, etc-! know ! had a lot of worries and
questions and ! would love to help you! Con-

Year: Sophomore, 2015
Activities: My favorite activity is Dance Company! We have rehearsals
a few times a week and then a show at the end of each semester. !t's
not a huge time commitment, and the girls are really friendly.
Favorite Freshman Year Class: I really ended up liking my theology
seminar. At hrst ! found it pretty difhcult because there was a lot of
reading and I hadnt read the Bible before so I felt behind compared
to some of the other kids in my class. But after a while ! found that
the material we were learning was actually really fascinating... and it helped that my professor
was super passionate about the course. So in the end, it actually ended up being one of my
favorite classes!
Favorite ND Event: ! love going to Drummer's Circle! On Friday night at midnight before ev-
ery home football game, the drum line of the marching band performs at the dome. Im a big
fan of the marching band, so ! love hearing them play! !t's also a great way to get pumped up
for the game the next day.
Favorite Study Spot: ! usually study in my room, but sometimes ! go to LaFun (LaFortune,
our student center located on God Quad across from Walsh).
Favorite Dining Hall Food: ! love the dining hall food! At South, my favorite food is dehnitely
the +-cheese pasta. !t's ANAZ!NG. !t tastes like something ! would get at a fancy restaurant!
!f you happen to venture to North, ! would dehnitely go for the pasta stir-fry. And at either
dining hall, you always have to hnish with some fro-yo! vanilla with peanut butter sauce is my
favorite :)
Embarrassing Story from Freshman Year: One time second semester, ! was outside and
walking into South Dining Hall. ! had my modern dance shoes in my coat pocket (basically just
little pads for the bottom of the feet), and ! guess ! didn't realize that one had fallen out while
! was pulling out my lanyard. ! got an email later that day from a girl on Dance Co to the entire
company asking if anyone had dropped a dance shoe outside
of South Dining Hall. ! had to email her and get back it back at
rehearsal the next day, and ! didn't even really know the girl.
So awkward!
Ask Me About: Any of the dance groups at ND! Even though

were beginning to get exhausted and pretty worn out from the day. Then, as we were
each making our beds, in a synchronized movement, we each pulled out stuffed animal

Best Part about Walsh: ! could write forever about why ! love

three. One, the girls here are awesome and !'ve gotten to meet
some of the coolest people ever. Since ! was a sophomore trans-
fer to ND, it was so helpful having a dorm where everyone was so
welcoming and fun. Two, ! love my quad. The rooms have high
ceilings and are spacious, while also keeping the charm of living
in an old building. Three, location. Walsh is pretty much in the
center of campus, which is one of the best things when you have
an 8:30am class and you know you can make it in less that 5

me in the studio at Riley Hall or Telecom (the new design building for next year).

ral sports! Being a designer, I love helping people

Walsh prides itself on having a long-standing tradition of domination on the football held.
!n order to pass on our knowledge, Football 101 was created and it has become our most
popular signature event throughout the years. Held in the fall, its purpose is to teach the
campus (especially freshmen) about Notre Dame football and being a fan in the ND stadium.
Last year some of our hnest Notre Dame football players, including Nanti Te'o, explained the
rules of football. The cheerleaders also came and pumped the crowd up while teaching the
traditional cheers seen at every game. This event is open to all students on campus and it is
a great way to get ready for the upcoming football season and for the hrst home game!

Each year a special week in the fall is set aside to celebrate Walsh Hall with our fellow W.!.L.
D. Women. During this week the W.!.L. D. Women show their dorm spirit by partaking in
special dorm activities held throughout the week. This week is jam packed with activities
and the following are a few examples of activities that have been a part of W.!.L.D. Week in
the past: service projects, hall movie nights, Mr. ND., treats and goodies at the front desk,
and of course-the Walsh Hall Fall Frolic.
M. \| |uqcun!
!n this mock-beauty pageant, a representative carefully chosen from each male dorm gets on
stage and showcases his talents in order to sway the judges in his favor. The winner is cho-
sen based on their scores in the following categories: formal wear, personality, and talent.
The lucky lad that is chosen by the Walsh W.I.L.D. Women judges earns the title of Mr. ND
until next year's competition. Nake sure to mark your calendars because this event is sure to
provide a good laugh and a fun time!

not love your major. Its not set in stone.
If your roommate is doing something you dont like dont be afraid to politely ask
them to stop. They probably don't know they're annoying you. Likewise, don't get too
offended if your roommate requests something of you.
Don't try to accomplish everything at once. Remember that you have four amazing
years ahead of you, and it's okay if you don't accomplish every dream in the hrst of
those years.
Bring an open mind, a fun attitude, and a smile. The W.!.L.D.ness of Walsh will help
you become an amazing woman in the next four years!

Rooms: Each of you will be sharing a room with one or more freshmen. Walsh Hall has a
number of different sized rooms including singles, doubles, triples, and quads. Nost of you
will be living in doubles; sometimes the doubles are rather small, but they have lots of char-
acter. Each room includes beds, a sink, a mirror, dressers desks, desk chairs, an overhead
light, and a closet or wardrobe. The furniture is modular, so lofting beds, which is recom-
mended to conserve space, is simple. You and your roommates are responsible for anything
else you may need. Included in this book is a list of suggested items to bring, but try to keep
it minimal. Contrary to what you may think, you don't need plenty of storage bins for cloth-
ing. We strongly suggest getting in touch with your roommate(s) to avoid duplicating items.
Upperclassmen often have items to sell and the Student Union sells fridges, carpeting, post-
ers, and other items, so don't worry about having everything before you get here. !t's not
uncommon to have to run to target 7 minutes from campus to get last minute items!
ID Cards: Your !D card will become your most important possession here at school. The !D
is necessary for eating at the dining halls, using your Flex Points at the HuddleNart, Reck-
ers, and other food places, getting into sports facilities and football games and other sport-
ing events, and most importantly, getting into the dorm. Walsh Hall uses a security system
to lock outer doors and you will need to swipe your !D card in order to enter. After parietals
(Nidnight on weekdays, 2:00am Friday and Saturday), you can only enter through the main door
and you must swipe your !D and enter your four- digit birthday month and day. This is required
at all doors besides the main door at all times. Be sure to carry your !D card with you at all times.

Chapel: Each dorm has its own chapel. Our dorm mass
is held every Sunday at 10:00pm and every Nonday at
10:00pm. You are welcome to use the chapel at anytime
for prayer, practicing music or quiet time. All are wel-
come to join us for mass regardless of religious afhlia-
tion. Student participation is a key part of dorm mass,
so be sure to sign up if you are interested in doing read-
ings or becoming a Eucharistic minister. There is also
a piano located in the chapel that is available for use.
Come join the Hall Choir!

A. Study Lounges: There are two study rooms located at the north end of the hall. These rooms are
fully equipped with desks, tables, chairs, and sofas. Both are 2+-silent study lounges. Other nearby
popular study spots on campus include: Coleman-Norse (CoNo) and the ACE Building. The study
lounge at the end is called North Lounge. The side study room (A2), is the printer room where you
can print your materials for class.
B. Exercise Room: Located near the study lounges, this room includes exercise mats, TvfvCR, dumb-
bells, and a few stationary machines. You may hnd that the Rockne Center or Rolfs will better suit
your workout needs-it has a much wider variety of workout machines.
C. Laundry Room: On the north side of the basement, the laundry room has coin-operated wash-
ers ($1.75) and dryers ($1.25). !f you choose this method, quarters are a necessity and we suggest
bringing plenty when you come in the fall. Walsh does have a change machine that can break ones
and hves. Another option is Domer Dollars (explained in later section) and this reduces the price of
both the washers and dryers by a quarter. There are also large sinks and drying racks. !rons and
ironing boards are found in the bathrooms on each hoor.
D. Nailboxes: These are found right underneath the center stairs. You'll have your own key for your
mailbox, which you will share with your roommate(s). Getting mail, especially care packages full of
snacks, is always exciting so be sure to remind your friends and family of your new address! The
mailboxes are the start of the South side and 2+-hour space.

E. Kitchen: On the south side of the basement. The kitchen is equipped with a stove, refrigerator,
sink, oven, freezer, cooking utensils, and a dining table. Basic cooking staples are available. We have
a limited supply of pots and pans, some women bring their own. The kitchen is getting renovated this
summer so get excited!
F. Peace Lounge: The side lounge that is great for group studying!
G. TV Lounge: This room is located on the south side of the basement and houses multiple couches
and a Tv, vCR, and a DvD player. This is a great place to watch a movie with your friends!
H. South Lounge: Located on the south end of the basement, this large room includes lots of tables
and chairs, a brand new big screen Tv (with DvR!), a pool table, and other games. The lounge is
used for lots of meetings, our own Walsh Hall Council, or just a place to study and hang out.
I. 2+-Hour Space: After parietals (refer to Domer Dictionary for dehnition), every dorm has a space
where male and female students can still hang out. Walsh's 2+-Hour space includes every room on
the south side of the basement.

Nost Notre Dame students eat at one of two dining halls: South Dining Hall (SDH) or North
Dining Hall (NDH). Nost Walsh girls go to SDH as it is only about a two-minute walk from our
dorm. All on-campus students are required to have a meal plan, which is already included in
the cost of room and board. The University will be sending you information on that separate-
ly. Your meal plan options are the Blue (Premium 21) or the Gold Plan (Flex 1+). The Blue
Plan is 21 meals per week or three meals a day. The Gold Plan is the default meal plan and
includes 1+ meals per week plus $355 in Flex Points per semester. Flex Points can be used
for food and beverages in most campus restaurants, express units, and convenience stores.
The majority of students choose the Flex 1+ plan because it allows for greater variety. Neals
can be used at North or South Dining Hall, but South is much closer (and in our biased opin-
ion, much better). For busy days, there is also the option of Grab `n' Go at each dining hall.
This option allows you to choose between lots of different foods (such as sandwiches, fruit,
veggies, chips, cereal, etc.) and take them with you.
**!n SDH, each dorm tends to have its own section. No one is required to sit there, but sit-
ting with fellow W.!.L.D. Women is a great way to make friends within the dorm. Walsh girls
usually sit right-right." Don't worry about sitting other places, just know that Walsh does
have its own spot where you will always see familiar faces.

Burger King, Starbucks, Subway, Taco Bell (NEW!), and Pizza Hut (NEW!) are all conveniently
located at LaFortune Student Center, which is just across God Quad from us. There are three
on-campus restaurants: Reckers, Greenhelds, and Legends. Reckers is very popular for its
pizza, milkshakes and smoothies. !t is on the backside of South Dining Hall. Also, several of
the academic buildings have express eateries for students and staff. To hnd a full list of alter-
nate dining options, check out InsideND.

Walsh rooms have a lot of character, but
they tend to be on the small side, so space
is valuable. Just a few tips on how you can
save space:
- Some people might be lucky enough to
be able to ht a futon in their room, but
most people just cant. Its not recom-
mended to but one until you know if it
will ht. Pillows and cushions for the hoor
make for comfortable seating and can be
moved out of the way easily.
- Put your DvD's in a CD case and leave
the boxes behind.
- Get speakers for your computer and
leave the stereo.
- Dont over pack. If you dont need it,
don't bring it. !f that just in case" be-
comes reality, you can always ask your
parents to ship it to you later.

Notre Dame's campus is pretty enclosed, which makes for a great atmosphere but causes
some difhculties. While the Huddle provides for most of your needs, you will probably need
to get off campus at least a few times. The taxi services are pretty dependable for shopping
and weekend endeavors. The local bus system offers two free TRANSPO routes for Notre
Dame students. One runs between ND, St. Nary's and Holy Cross. The other runs to Univer-
sity Park Nall. You can take another bus from the mall to other places in the area, including,
Target and Neijer. You must show your !D to use the free TRANSPO routes.

There are two options for meal plans at ND. !f you are not sure which option is best for you,
you can switch from 21 meals (Blue Plan) to Flex 1+ (Gold Plan) until a few weeks into the
semester, but not vice versa. Nany Walsh girls choose Flex-1+ because they like to eat gra-
nola bars or cereal in their dorm rooms for breakfast. The Flex points are also nice to use at
the Huddle Nart and any of the cafes on campus if you want a break from dining hall food.
However However, if you would like to go to the dining hall for all three meals, the 21 mealsf
week option is for you.

Domer dollars are like a debit card on your student !D. You (or your parents, hopefully) put
money on your student account and you can spend them like Flex Points, but also at ad-
ditional locations like the bookstore, Copy Shop, concession stands in the Football Stadium,
certain vending machines, and certain laundry facilities (like in Walsh basement).

There is one banking option on campus: Notre Dame Federal Credit Union (NDFCU). NDFCU
has a branch ofhce in LaFortune Student Center (close to Walsh) and also on Douglas Road
just north of campus. There are also several ATNs around campus. These ATNs are located
in Nain Building, SDH, NDH, the Bookstore, LaFortune basement, and the JACC. Nost of
these also don't charge a service charge even if you are using an account from home. An
account from home can work too; a debit or ATN card can most likely get you cash from
NDFCU ATNs. !n addition, you can write out checks from a checking account for cash at the
Cashier Services ofhce in Nain Building. They are only open from 9am-5pm Non-Fri, which
can cause inconveniences. Though credit cards are not necessary, they are useful in case of
emergencies.

You are extremely lucky to be blessed with a dorm that has laundry facilities in the build-
ing. Walsh hosts 6 washers and 8 dryers in the basement. Washers cost $1.50 per load and
dryers cost $1.00 per load, so bring lots of quarters!! The machines also accept Domer Dol-
lars. Using Domer Dollars actually saves you a quarter on every load you wash or dry, so it is
worth your while to use them. !f you are not into doing your own laundry, Notre Dame offers
St. Nichael's Laundry Service, which will collect, wash, and deliver your laundry each week
for $80 per semester.

Walsh has modular furniture where each person will receive a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe
that can be arranged into one modular unit. Each dorm mate is also given a four drawer
dresser. Get creative with your setup! Each room in Walsh is a little bit different, so the only
way to plan is to work with your roommate(s) after seeing the room and adjusting to each
other's lifestyles. We know it's frustrating, but you will probably just have to wait until you
get here to hgure this out. You might need plastic drawers and desk organizers as well.

Parietals at Notre Dame mark the time when guys cannot be in girls' dorms and vice versa,
this includes siblings, parents, and relatives of the opposite sex. On weekdays they last from
12am to 9am and from 2am to 9am on weekends. Each dorm has a 2+-hour space where
guys and girls can hang out all of the time. Walsh's 2+-hour space is the south side of the
basement. Parietals dehnitely put a spin on social life here at Notre Dame, but you get used
to them, and there are benehts. They allow for more bonding in Walsh and late night pri-

Walsh has a kitchen in its basement for the use of the students. The kitchen is equipped
with staples like hour, sugar, oil, etc., but no eggs or butter (you can buy these at the Huddle
in LaFortune). !t also has some pots, pans, utensils, measuring cups, cookie sheets, and a
mixer. The kitchen has a stove, oven, and microwave, as well as a refrigeratorffreezer avail-
able for Walsh residents to store things that are properly labeled. Residents who use the
kitchen are expected to clean up after themselves and wash all used dishes. Even though we
two lovely housekeepers, it is not part of their job to clean upfwash dishes in the kitchen.

Yes. The north end of Walsh's basement contains two study areas, one with desks and
chairs and the printer, and one with couches, tables, lamps, etc. (aka North Lounge). Both
of these are silent study areas. The South Lounge (aka SoLo), located at the opposite end
of the hallway, contains our big screen Tv, tons of comfy, retro couches and chairs, and a
pool table, but can also be used for studying, especially group projects. There is also a small
room across from the kitchen that is ideal for meetings and group studying (aka the Peace
