Steds apparel...

D.B.S. and no C.O.D.

... orders are off and running. That's right. Yesterday, Fr. Ralph closed apparel sales and sent the order to our apparel company. While an exact date was not provided, thoughts are the order will arrive in mid-October, just before Fall Break and just in time as the temps drop, becoming hoodie weather. This year, apparel sales were open to Alumni, family, and friends so that the "repp'n" of Steds could be expanded, touching all corners of the country and globe. Suffice it to say, some orders would have to be shipped, and of course, there were many delivery options. But one option that would eliminate the need for shipping and incurring an extra cost was for the order to be picked up in person by someone else, preferably someone already on campus. But one Stedsman went a step further, requesting his order be picked up by his son. On creating and selecting this most unique option, P.J Moran '13 shared, "I would like to select the "Delivery By Son" method. I have put Jack on his bicycle and pointed him north. I anticipate he will arrive at the Steds doorstep sometime prior to his 5th birthday. Please kindly hold the parcel until then."

A Gentleman...

Pondering in progress...

... ponders. Yes, a gentleman does many things, and one of those things is to ponder various and sundry things. And thanks to the A Gentleman Ponders lecture series, the Gentlemen can ponder this and that, academic topics or more practical ones, all in the comfort of the Gregorian Lounge. And practical pondering it was this when Braeden Benedict '19 returned home to share his knowledge and advice for those pursuing a career in medicine. Graduating from WashU in the spring, this doctor-to-be did not come sharing prescription pads but rather his insights and experiences of the ever changing process of getting into and navigating medical school. On Benedict's pondering, Nicholas Bifone, Steds senior, aspiring doctor, and resident New Yorker, shared, "There are so many good resources regarding medical school out there, but none is more impactful and relevant than the experiences of someone IN medical school currently. Braeden gave us extensive insight into the medical school application, workload, and path to specific specialties, and his talk ultimately gave me a clearer picture of my path in the near future."

You always get...

Donoghue: A true giver

... more than you give. That's especially the case at Ed's, where your $2 gets you more than just a smoothie or pizza sticks. No, at Ed's your $2 gets you a lot more, and during these tough times, we're all looking to get value for our dollar. What does one get? Certainly, great food at a great price, but at Ed's, you also get to interact with one of Steds culinary service representatives. These culinary service representatives are more that just your normal run of the mill food techs because they know not only the ways of the panini press and milkshake agitator but also how to bring a smiles to customers' faces, making them forget the problems and cares of life so that they can just enjoy the now. On his favorite part of being a Steds culinary service representative, Luke Donoghue, Steds junior, Hall Vice President, and resident New Yorker, disclosed, "As much as I would like to say the best part is the paninis, it’s the sense of community that keeps me coming back to Ed’s."

Put on...

Working his magic

... another coat! Yup. You heard me. Put on another coat! Recently, the exterior, wooden doors of Steds were stripped and revarnished. And it was about time! Northern Indiana summers and winters had taken their toll on the doors to point where their luster was long gone. Still, don't forget the damaged done to our doors by our furry friends, campus squirrels, but that's a story for another day. But what is important is the University is finally getting around to revarnishing the 290 unique wooden doors on campus, including the FIVE doors at Steds. On revarnishing the Steds doors, a maintenance technician shared, "If there was a scale where 5 was horrible and 1 was great, then the doors at Steds would be a solid 4. They really needed attention."

A Gentleman...

Pondering in progress: Fr. Bill and the Gentlemen 

... ponders. Yes, a gentleman does many things, and one of those things is to ponder various and sundry things. And thanks to the A Gentleman Ponders lecture series, the Gentlemen can ponder this and that, academic topics or more practical ones, all in the comfort of the Gregorian Lounge. Recently, Fr. Bill Miscamble, CSC, Professor of History Emeritus and native son of Australia, kicked off the inaugural pondering with a discussion of Catholicism and American politics from JFK to Biden. Sharing his thoughts and insights first, Miscamble then opened the pondering to questions and debate, which was lively and robust. On the evening of pondering, Luke Guenthner, Steds Senior convener of the pondering as Steds D.A.D. (Director of Academic Discernment), and resident Pennsylvanian, shared, "From Hall Government to Student Senate to the Oval Office, we learned all the tips and tricks to be successful in politics. Perhaps, the next JFK is already in our presence?!"
