Ella Brown

Ella is a sophomore political science major at Notre Dame. She lives in Farley Hall on campus, and her favorite hall tradition is Potato Fest, when Farley Hall students will customize and deliver "potato-grams," for students.

She explains why she chose Notre Dame: "I chose Notre Dame because of the magical energy you feel when you step on campus—ND is a community that calls you to learn with purpose, lead with your heart, and live for something greater than yourself. "

Ella is involved on campus as a SUB general programmer as the Director of Student Life. She is in the Political Science Society, is a McNeill Common Good Fellow, a St. Andres Welcome Weekend Committee Member, and a Farley Hall Commissioner.
