The life of...

... our Seniors! While our Steds Seniors take their Study Days seriously, many Steds seniors decided to take a jaunt downstate and head to Churchill Downs before their studying started in earnest. Yes, to find motivation for their Finals Week, Steds seniors took in all the pageantry, charm and hospitality, and local fare and beverage that is the Kentucky Derby which, not doubt, inspired them into their final Finals Week. Still, the visit allowed some of our seniors to practice and/or brush up on their probability and statistics skills! Suffice it to say, it was the proverbial win win. On attending the 152nd Run for the Roses, Harry Shaia, Steds senior, RA, and resident Virginian, shared, "Suits, sun, and horses- the Gentlemen of St Edward’s Hall showed up and out at the Kentucky Derby.”

THANK YOU!

Thank you to ALL Stedsmen, moms and dads, brothers and sisters, grand and godparents, friends, people of goodwill, Saturday’s squirrels, pets of all species… and anyone else who we are forgetting...THANK YOU for rallying to our cause this ND Day!

It's true! Because of you, we rallied, and now, are once again the #1 residence hall and 3rd overall out of over 500 causes this ND Day... for the twelfth year in a row!

On the historic and decisive ND Day win, President Michael Heffernan stated, "On this ND Day, just as on any day, the men of St. Edward’s Hall made the collective decision to pursue excellence. And, as in all things, the men of St. Edward’s Hall emerged victorious. We thank our friends and family for their indefatigable generosity. We are endlessly grateful for everything you’ve given us."

Your Sunday picture...

Pretty in pink

... from Notre Dame! Here's a view of Fr. Sorin amid a sea of spring color. In autumn, ND Grounds keepers decided pink tulips would be planted so that in spring there would be a sea a pink. Enjoy, and enjoy wherever you may be!

Saturday squirrel.

Staying warm

Our furry friends have stepped aside so that another campus neighbor can have some attention. Walking around St. Mary's Lake, catching some rays, were not one but two turtles! As ectotherms, turtles, and all cold blooded animals, depend on external heat sources like the sun or warm surfaces to regulate their body temperature. And that's what these two turtles were doing on a sunny and warm day at ND. On being spotted soaking up the sun, the red headed turtle non-verbaled, "I forgot my shades!"

Champions!

The 2026 RecSport Volleyball Champions

If winning the hockey championship wasn't enough, then how about winning another championship? With a team composed mainly of seniors and one sophomore, Stedsmen made a run for the RecSports Volleyball Championship. And while their run had it's ups and downs, they rallied not only clinching the championship but also what everyone student dreams of- the coveted RecSports Champions t-shirt. On the win, Nathan Holt, Steds senior and resident Washingtonian (State), shared, "It was an honor to end a great career with some outstanding Stedsmen, especially on the high of winning a championship! For hall and King!

Congratulations 2026 RecSports Volleyball Champions!

Everyone...

What do you do...

It was a prefect night...

... after winning ND Day and classes are over? Does one go to Disney World? No! We go on the Yacht Dance, of course! Oddly enough, the a week after ND Day was held was the last day of classes... AND Yacht Dance Day. Chance? I think not! Nor was the great weather! A bit chilly but no rain. So, it was perfect for a cruise, smooth sailing for one hundred and fifty-seven Stedsmen and their dates. The yacht shoved off at 11:40pm, 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 1:45am with many tired dancers. On the attending the Yacht Dance for his first time, Evan von Rotz, Steds freshman and resident Californian, shared, “The best and only way to party is on a Steds yacht" while fellow freshman, resident North Carolinian, Ronan Sheppard, said, "It was a night full of energy and fun filling every second. Even in the way back, the speaker was blasting and we were singing into the morning!”
