Biography
Nicholas Rotondi is originally from Troy, NY. He graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2026 with a BA in Philosophy and Spanish. His senior thesis, titled "La escuela de la sociabilidad: la soledad en la obra de Miguel de Unamuno" explores the dialectic between solitude and social life in Unamuno's work and argues that the tension between the two provides an alternative to a modern, "technified" mode of being that views the world and others as an unending set of problems to be solved. In Nick's free time, he enjoys cooking, spending time with friends, live music, and being outside.
