We three presidents are: Lynch, Tompkins and Nichols...
... at Steds. As the semester drew to a close, so did time of the Lynch Administration. President Michael Lynch, along with his Vice Presidents, Jack O'Leary and Ben Theis, left office, handing the reigns of power to the incoming administration of Aidan Tompkins and his Vice Presidents, John Digenan and Dan McGuire. But something else drew to a close... our time with former President Peter Nichols. It was his administration that steered the Hall through the Covid. Faced with great challenges, changing rules, nuanced nuances, and prickly protocols, Nichols held it all together for his constituents, delivering when he could, zigging when others told him to zag, so that when the pandemic past, the Steds that everyone knew and loved when return. Indeed, it did. Lynch followed in Nichols' footsteps, and now, it's Tompkins' turn. Good luck!
On reflecting his hopes for his successor, Lynch said, "It is always a difficult challenge for a new administration to follow an extremely successful one. While I won’t comment on the success of my own administration, I’ve heard that Tompkins is in for a real challenge. With that being said, I have high hopes that he will rise to the occasion. His early successes with the new pool balls, the Senior Send Off, and ND Day affirm my view that Steds is in great hands. I look forward to seeing all they will accomplish next year!"
On his hopes for the new Steds President, former President Nichols was so moved that he was unable to give a response, opting instead to pat Tompkins on the back.
