Part two...

Raus (L) and Lis (R) chumming around on base...

... for the Rauses. Recently, when ND played Rice, Peter and Emily Raus were on the sidelines, but now, they're on their way to Japan. Yes, that's right... Japan! But it's not for a more vacay. No, these Californians are on their way to the land of the rising sun so that Peter may report for his stationing as a Navy helicopter pilot. And despite a typhoon wreaking havoc in Japan, Emily and Peter are still leaving TODAY for a multi-year deployment and a big Asian adventure. On Emily and Peter moving to Japan, Fr. Ralph said, "Good luck and... Sayonara!"

A Gentleman...

Soler speaks, and the Gentlemen listen...

... ponders entrepreneurship. Gathering in the historic, yet commodious, Gregorian Lounge, the Gentlemen listened to Frank Soler '14, Stedsman, former Steds Hall President, and resident New Yorker, as he shared his career insights. Yes, this favorite son of New York, Stedsman, was a finance man of Wall Street, but now finds himself working for himself as he started his own real estate business with other Notre Dame and Steds classmates. Soler returned home to Steds to share his insights and career advice for all those interested in being a leader, like the Founder, Fr Sorin, exploring different career paths within the "major/minor ecosystem" of Notre Dame. On partaking in the pondering, Matthew Mazzoli, Steds freshman and resident South Carolinian, shared, "It was inspiring to see someone who once walked the same hallways as me go on to accomplish so much, but even more meaningful to see how humble and willing Soler was to come back and share his experiences and knowledge with us."

Your Sunday picture...

Steds: Sleeping In

Here's a sight that we all know and love, and after a night game, we love it even more. Why? Because after a late night win, it's the best place to sleep in on campus. Yes, you guessed it. It a slow Sunday morning here at Steds. Enjoy the view and your Sunday wherever you may be!

Saturday squirrel.

Working away

Our furry friends are busy. Oh, they look as if they are living a life of frivolity, but they're not. They're actually busy at work but just making it look like fun. And what work are they busy at doing? Getting ready for winter of course. This squirrel found a treasure that he promptly buried for a later time, when times are lean. But will he remember where he buried it? On being spotted, this squirrel non-verbaled, "Of course, I'll remember, but I'll still ask for a hand out!"

Folgers at...

Fay (in blazer): Folgering it up at Four

... four is a Friday tradition. And the recipe for this Friday Steds staple is simple... Folgers, doughnuts, and conversation... all at 4pm. Oh, the doughnuts may be off sometimes, but the conversation is always spot on... lively and engaging.  Returning to campus from the upcoming game, Eoghan Fay '22 and NDLS '26, made an appearance at his my favorite Friday diversion. On attending Folgers, Fay shared, "Attending Folgers was like being a spectator at the School of Athens... only with doughnuts!"

It was...

The Alumni are here...

... an evening of networking. Steds sophomores, juniors, and seniors had an opportunity to network with over twenty-five Steds Alumni in the familiar and relaxed environment of the private dining rooms of the Morris Inn. Coming from California to New York, San Diego to Chicago, and even Vegas, and representing various majors from history to aerospace, finance to computer science and everything else in between, the Gentlemen had the opportunity to engage their fellow Stedsmen, asking any and all questions about careers paths, internships, resume review, and advice... all those things that one cannot learn in the classroom nor receive from the Career Center. And all of this was timely because next week is the Fall Career Fair! On participating in the Gentlemen for Gentlemen: Networking with the Family, Dr. Cole Edwards '20, Steds alumnus and now resident Nevadian, said, "It’s always great coming back to campus, but it’s especially great meeting the next generation of Stedsmen and sharing some of things that we’ve learned since graduating. Anything for the kids!"

Houston...

The old fire hydrant switcher-roo

... we have a problem. Yes, at the corner of Zahm and Keenan Halls, there is a fire hydrant; a fire hydrant that was in need of replacing. To replace this hydrant, which like Zahm Hall had become a safety issue, the water had to be turned off to Keenan, Zahm, AND Steds. Shut off promptly at 9am and despite the diligence of the maintenance workers, the water remained shut off well past Noon. When the water finally did come back on, there was much rejoicing. On the water being off for at least five hours, Owen Murphy, Steds freshman and resident Virginian, stated, "“ came to Notre Dame expecting many challenges, but I never imagined one of them would be finding water in my residence hall. A most serious inconvenience. Luckily, the Hesburgh reflecting pool offered a reprieve for my thirst.”
