Saturday squirrel.

A four footed acrobat 

Our furry friends aren't the only ones in the trees at Notre Dame. Surprisingly, something else was spotted in a tree around St. Jospeh's Lake. A bird? No. A groundhog.  It caused a double take and was a surprise for sure. But it's true. A groundhog has spotted in a tree! A common sight? No at all, but clearly, this groundhog wanted to get a different perspective on things by hopping into a tree. On being spotted in a tree, this groundhog non-verbaled, "Oh, hello there, and yes. I am not looking down."

Saying goodbye...

Smiling Seniors: Jacob Smith and Mark Giugliano...

... can be fun. Of course, our seniors don't want to think how the end coming quickly, but nevertheless, they need to be feted and honored. And they were at Plaza St. Edward, the Steds patio, on Friday afternoon. Immediately following the hall photo on the south side of the hall, the Gentlemen moved to the north side where, at the Steds basketball court, a food truck was waiting for them. No fighting long lines at the NDH tonight! And don't worry. The guests of honor, our seniors, were given priority in the line. With games of basketball and corn hole, a selection of Fleetwood Mac playing in the background, our seniors were treated to a special Finals Week meal. Still, our seniors were given one of their senior gifts from the Hall, the Steds graduation cords. The Steds cords, golden yellow and green, will be worn at Graduation, distinguishing our Gentlemen who have graduated from Steds, "Gentlemen U." On the Senior Send Off, Keenan Lofton, Steds senior and Hawaiian, shared, "Although the food truck and outdoor games were a joy to experience, the main highlight of my day was the camaraderie shared between our fellow Stedsmen and especially our senior class.”

... all seniors on parade...

... and all had a good time.

Fresh off...

Storch, Carroll, and Somerville: May the smiles continue 

... a yacht and ready to study! Yes, with the excitement and fun of the Yacht Dance behind them, the Gentlemen are now focusing all of their energies on studying for finals. Finals Week, which starts on Friday and concludes next Thursday, is a week filled intense studying and writing and... little sleep. Sleep? That's for later when everything is done! And on one eve of Finals Week, Steds freshmen, Dane Storch, PJ Carroll, and Ben Somerville, were in high spirits, smiling even, as they exited the Hall with backpacks crammed with books, looking for a quiet space to study. On students studying, Paddy Foss, Steds AR, graduating MBA candidate and one class taker this Spring Semester, said, "What many know is that Steds is the most amusing and social hall on campus… what many don’t know is that we also have the most preeminent scholars at Our Lady’s University — that is being evidenced this week by their hard work and dedication to their studies, not to mention their smiles."

What do you do after...

Anchors aweigh...

... winning ND Day? You go on the Yacht Dance, of course! Oddly enough, the day after ND Day was the last day of classes AND Yacht Dance Day. Talk about the perfect storm, and speaking of storms, thankfully, there were none to speak of this time. It was just smooth sailing for one hundred and fifty Stedsmen and their dates. The yacht shoved off on time, 11:30pm, and the dancing kicked off with the 90's classic, "Mo' Money, Mo' Problems." After sailing up and down the lake, the yacht returned to port at 1:30am with many tired dancers. On the attending the Yacht Dance, an unnamed date of a Stedsman, said, "I loved it, but it was all too short!"

... seniors and Fr. Ralph having fun...

... with Chicago as a beautiful backdrop.

It was you..

And they said it was impossible!

...the Steds family... alumni, moms and dads, brothers and sisters, grand and godparents, friends, Saturday’s squirrels, pets, and all people of good will…THANK YOU! Yes, thank you for your help this ND Day!

It is because of YOU that we are once again the #1 residence hall this ND Day, and if you are counting, this is the EIGHTH year in a row as #1! 

Yesterday, you sent a clear message and that message was…FOR THE KIDS! And the kids are over the moon. Indeed, the small hall that many said couldn’t… did, and thanks to you the oldest and most storied residence hall will continue to write new chapters, chapters that only Steds could write.

Still, Fr. Ralph added, “We can never say thank you enough for what you have done and continue to do for this special place, St. Ed’s. You make us blush. You make us proud. But most of all, you make us blessed to call St. Ed’s our home. Thank you for all that was, is, and is yet be!” 

Many, many thanks... and all of our love!

ND Day...

This ND Day keep Biergans lounging AND smiling 

... is HERE! The biggest two day celebration of St. Edward's is here. It's like Christmas, Easter, the 4th of July and every other day you can think of rolled up together, and the Gentlemen are doing everything they can to rally attention to their cause... the oldest and most storied residence hall at Notre Dame, St. Edward's Hall. It means that they will have to go face to face with every department, office, club... and every other residence hall... at Notre Dame, but the Gentlemen are up to the challenge... with your help of course! On what he is hoping for this ND Day, Nate Biergans, Steds sophomore and St. Edward's Park hammock lounger, said, "I would put the funds toward continued improve of the St. Edward’s workout facilities because the Gentlemen's’ personal health and well beings are a top priority for everyone."

ND DAY is THIS Sunday, TODAY, and Monday, April 24th-25th.
