A Gentleman...

Dr. Cerrone with D.A.D

... Ponders! Indeed, they do at St. Edward's. Everyone's favorite lecture series, A Gentleman Ponders, started up again as Quentin Fairchild, the Steds Director of Academic Development (D.A.D.), hosted Steds very own Dr. Albert Cerrone in the Gregorian Longe for a bit of pondering. Dr. Cerrone was more than happy to oblige, facilitating a discussion of something right up his alley, hurricanes. As an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at Notre Dame, a discussion on the predicting and impact of Hurricane Ian was given by Cerrone. From the "cone of unpredictability' to how weather prediction applications can be used in life to make everyday decisions, a lively discussion was had. On the pondering, an unnamed Stedsman said, "It was great having one of our own here, but now, I am not sure if I ever want to live in Florida."

In the Red Room is on hiatus but will return next week with more great stories from the oldest and most storied residence hall, St. Edward's.
