Your Sunday picture...

Looking a lot like Christmas

... from Notre Dame. Here's a night view of God Quad... of Mary, the Dome, and what is hailed as the University's Christmas tree. Decorated before Thanksgiving, but only turned on AFTER Thanksgiving, the University's Christmas tree has the best location and backdrop. Enjoy, and enjoy your Sunday wherever you may be!

Saturday squirrel.

They're back! After a hiatus, our furry friends are back, taking the limelight for themselves, and ready to make a splash as only they can. On South Quad, right by the soon to be defunct Howard Hall, this furry friend was seen perched on a rock. What was he doing? Was he some sort of contemplation? Was he examining a peculiarity of the rock? Was he trying to be one with the rock, or, was he simply taking a breather? When asked, the squirrel non-verbaled, "I really don't know what I am doing here."

Classes are over...

He's not finished: Pandolfo 

... and it is now, yes, you guessed it, Finals Weeks. Today, is the first day of finals, and there are some big ones for our freshmen. Things are getting off with a strong and fast start as chemistry and calculus lead the way. Suffice it to say, the Gentlemen are in study mode using every and any available table and chair to study. One favorite location for studying is the Gregorian "Greg" Lounge. Home to the Luigi Gregori mural and Steds Hall coffee machine, the lounge is not only the most historical on campus but also the most comfortable, having real furniture- the kind found at the Morris Inn. The mural, the free coffee, and the comfortable furniture all add up to high-yield studying... and great grades! Really, we got the quantitive data to prove it! On studying in the Gregorian Lounge, Henrique A.V. Pandolfo, Stedsmen freshman and resident Brazilian, stated, "In the words of David Goggins, 'I don't stop when I'm tired, I stop when I'm done.'"

They're getting...

Tying the knot: Ben and Zoe

married! Stedsman Ben Merrick ’20 and Lyons' Zoe Steigauf '20 are getting married! Ben proposed, and thankfully, Zoe said yes! They look forward to their wedding in the summer of 2026 in Michigan. How did the proposal all unfold? Well, well, let's just say it unfolded flawlessly with the Big Apple cooperating. On getting engaged, Merrick, Stedsman, Steds website chief, and resident Illinoisan, said, "Zoe and I were thrilled to get engaged this past April after dating since our Junior year of ND together, 2019. We got engaged in NYC where I was lucky enough to find a quiet and private corner of Central Park to ask her. We are excited for our upcoming wedding next year!”

They got married!

Brandon and Alyssa at their reception...

They got married! Brandon Ryan ’18 and Alyssa Lyon '18 of Walsh were married at St. Michael's Church in Old Town Chicago. Only making a most beautiful day even more beautiful, this couple gleamed brighter than the sun, making a cloudy day sunny! And they were ready to get married. Surrounded by their families, friends, and MANY Steds moms and dads, Alyssa and Brandon exchanged theirs vows with great emotion and happiness... and with a few kisses. On Alyssa joining the Steds family, Matt Cyrs '20, Stedsman, former RA, and Bengal Bouts champion, shared, "Alyssa is living proof that Yacht Dance really works. Choose wisely, like Brandon did, and your happily ever after might be just around the corner! 

Congratulations to the new couple Alyssa and Brandon!
