Hello everyone! I'm Ethan Meunier, a senior NSBH major in the College of Science. I'm from Evansville in the great state of Indiana & I call Morrissey Manor home. I spend my time researching with Dr. Cummings' Family Studies Lab, completing med school applications, and volunteering with Special Olympics of Notre Dame. My interests include chairs, mid-major college basketball, Formula One, and indie music.
I serve on the NSBH Senior Leadership Committee where I help plan events and programming for the benefit of the major. This year we've organized a welcome lunch and study abroad night as well as awesome brain breaks like the Taste of Fitness and mentor social events, with even more to come in the future. As much as I love the professors and curriculum, my favorite part of the major is the tight-knit and enthusiastic community. It's been so great meeting everyone & working with the rest of the SLC to bring our wonderful community together.
As we leave the midpoint of the year behind, I hope you take the time to appreciate how far you've come. Attack the rest of the semester one task at a time, treat yourself, try something new, and make your younger self proud!

With course registration for Spring 2024 approaching at the end of November, it’s almost time to start planning schedules for next semester! We’ll hear from some of our NSBH advisors regarding course requirements and registration logistics. Afterwards, we’ll have an opportunity for peer advising, so underclassmen will have the opportunity to ask other students about classes they’ve taken!
With this event, we hope to build community within the major and help get your questions answered as effectively as possible. Please join us!
