Got an email about ND Day asking me to donate to Fisher Hall

I am genuinely confused why donations are requested for a dorm that's going to be a pile of rubble in a couple months.


Rubble is not going to remove itself! * *

Do older alums get 3-4 of these based on where they lived? *

You should donate to the closest dorm that will

remain standing after the demolition. It will be a fitting memorial.


received one for Pangborn Hall ...

My understanding of the message was that the funds would transfer with the current residents as they move into a new dorm on East quad. Whereas when Pangborn transitioned to a female dorm in 1992, the male residents were scattered to the winds ....

Probably the more important question, is what should we be funding with our donations? I've decided to no longer donate directly to the Notre Dame with unrestricted funds (even if just to get access to the ticket lottery), but rather to donate to very specific clubs and causes. Even then, I'm not sure "dorm life" is something to support.

Postscript: If there's one good thing in any of this, its that the hideous F will no longer be on campus.


Pamgborn!

Just curious. Did you get the email for the farewell to Pangborn?


Yes - will be making a daytrip for it

What I like about that is that it is an organic activity by the community for the community. I've become dismayed by football weekends (and all of the associated costs). Reunions don't seem as good value as the first few I remember receiving details about. I also have a former roommate who works for the university, so it will be good to see him and his family.


Who is Mr. Fisher H? *

Similarly, I received one about Grace Hall

The place has already been converted to administrative offices, and is in line for the wrecking ball.

Better still, the sender of the email was my daughter, who is a sophomore.


Are they going to tear down Grace? I hadn't heard that. *

Aren't they just moving all together into the new dorm?

My daughter is in Flaherty, which was where the Pangborn community moved around 2018. They have a lot of the old pangborn memorabilia like old class pictures on their walls and things. I assume Fisher would be similar that they will take a lot of their traditions and personality to their new dorm.


And just to add

I think ND day is one of the best ways to give money that goes directly to student experience.


And yet, they’re building a $ billion football facility

I'm sure the University would happily repurpose the funds donated to the rubble pile.
