Spotlight RA.

Meehan: a big, shiny jewel in the Sted's crown

Again, the real secret to St. Edward's Hall is its staff, particularly its resident assistants (RAs). These dedicated, undergraduate seniors are the Hall's "crown jewels" in the Steds crown. Who are these seniors? Let's put the spotlight on one of them... the 3rd floor resident assistant, Dan "The Man" Meehan.

St.Ed: Why did you become a resident assistant (RA) for your senior year? As a senior, shouldn’t you be dialing this year in?

Meehan: Dialing it in may be a bit of an exaggeration, but isn’t anything new. My 8th Grade teacher once told me, “The worst thing you can do to yourself is to do only enough to get by. Don’t be mediocre Dan, you’re better than that.” However, after slipping into Notre Dame, and stumbling into a job offer, I have to say, doing just enough suits me quite well.

St.Ed: So, what are you bringing to the Steds Hall Staff this year?

Meehan: Dynamism and Synergy.

St. Ed: So besides being the most populated floor in the Hall, what makes the 3rd floor so special?

Meehan: Given that the floor has a large number of Seniors and Freshmen, the 3rd floor provides an agora where the ideas of different generations collide. Where debate allows the young to grow and the old (relatively speaking) to stay sharp. The juxtaposition is truly a wonder to behold.

St.Ed: Being an RA for over a month now, what’s something that you learned about the Hall?

Meehan: There’s a trap door in the Kitchen that leads to the Study.

St.Ed: What would you want your legacy to be at Steds?

Meehan: Friendly Neighborhood Resident Assistant, Interhall Sports legend.

Meehan, thanks for all that you do!
