Rebecca Wolfe, ‘93

The Catalyst interviewed Rebecca Wolfe, alumna, NDB Class of 1993, and parent of Annalee Wolfe, senior and ASB president, about what would have been Aquacades.

TC: Friday would have been Aquacades, but it was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.  What do you have to say about that?

Rebecca Wolfe, ‘93: I think it is so sad! Aquacades is the most exciting and greatest tradition that is unique to Notre Dame! It goes back more than half a century! 

TC: If we come back to school before the end of the year, do you think Aquacades should be rescheduled or should it be canceled?  

RW: I definitely think it should be rescheduled because it is a huge part of the school, and it’s tradition. It has been going on for years, and I would hate for the Class of 2020 to miss out. 

TC: If it’s rescheduled during the summer, would you be willing to come celebrate it then?

RW: I would definitely go in the summer because it is fun to watch as an alumna of Notre Dame. I love the energy that comes from Aquacades! 

TC: People usually look at pictures or videos of last year’s Aquacades to learn what it’s about.  One year from now, what do you want people to know about Aquacades?

RW: Aquacades is an event that brings so much spirit and togetherness amongst NDB Tigers with their class completions and sister class comraderies! It would be a real shame to cancel it! Plus, the girls on ASB worked so hard already!
