Established in 2003, The Irish Rover remains an independent, non-profit, student publication devoted to preserving the Catholic identity of Notre Dame. As expressed in The Rover’s constitution, three objectives guide our editorial policy:

1.  Defend the Faith and honorable traditions of this great university;

2.  Articulate conservative principles;

3.  Engage in collegial debate.

The Rover seeks to facilitate part of what the university’s mission statement desires in its community: “a forum where through free inquiry and open discussion the various lines of Catholic thought may intersect with all the forms of knowledge found in the arts, sciences, professions, and every other area of human scholarship and creativity.” To provide this forum, The Rover offers a distinctive kind of coverage that includes campus news, religion, politics, culture, humor, and sports.

We invite your readership and feedback. We hope you will consider subscribing to The Rover for complete access to our most recent reporting. Please contact us with questions or suggestions at ndirishrover-at-gmail.com. Thank you, and go Irish!
