ND Day...

Help keep the smiles on faces like former Vice President Mackie's...

... started some time ago, but it's now getting real. Once again, we need your help to keep Notre Dame's oldest and most storied residence hall, Steds, at the top. Your help will, simply put, keep Steds being the special place that is as well as keep the smiles on the faces of its residents. On what he's hoping ND Day funds can do for the Hall, Henry Mackie, Steds freshman, former Hall Vice-President, and resident New Yorker, shared, "To ensure our Hall continues to flourish!"

ND Day...

Help keep the smiles on faces like President Heffernan's...

… is HERE. Once again, the Gentlemen are asking for ANY and ALL support from ANY and ALL persons wherever they may be! If you are unaware of this important day, below is a message being sent to all family and friends of St. Edward's that explains the importance of this day. 

It is only because of your generosity on this day that we can host our beloved events as well as start new ones, make renovations and upgrades to the Hall, support our inter-hall sports teams, and much more. In short, the funds raised on THIS DAY makes Steds, well, Steds. NONE of this would be possible without your support for this Notre Dame Day!  So, remember Steds and spread the word!

What is Notre Dame Day?

Notre Dame Day is a day for celebrating all things Notre Dame.  We hope that you tune in, take action, and help the important work of Notre Dame’s OLDEST AND MOST STORIED RESIDENCE HALL, ST. EDWARD’S HALL.  

 

Why is this important?

Your participation will directly impact the life of our Hall the building of life long friendships, memories, and camaraderie that ultimately make the Notre Dame experience. But don't listen to me... hear it from the big man himself, President Michael Heffernan. On why someone should give to Steds, President Heffernan said, "St Edward’s Hall is the oldest dorm on campus. Within its walls there lives 150 young men seeking to get an education, build careers, and prepare themselves for the professional world. This is made possible by the donations given to us on ND Day. So please, donate, and help us accomplish our dreams and have some fun while we’re at it!"

 

How do I impact the life of St. Edward’s?

Watch the ND Day broadcast at notredameday.nd.edu and at the site, go to "causes" or use the search bar. Next, in the search bar, type in St. Edward’s (or St Ed’s), and give what you can. You can also find us by looking under residence halls too. Ten dollars is the perfect gift. Really. No gift is too much nor any gift too small. To give, click HERE.

 

Remember ND Day is NOW... and it gets serious on Tuesday, April 21st, and ends on Wednesday, April 22nd, at 11:59PM EST.

 

And don’t forget, please share this message with others, anyone and everyone can participate for St. Ed’s! To give, click HERE.

 

What will St. Edward’s Hall do with its Notre Dame Day funds?

As the oldest residence hall on campus, we need your support to help keep our Hall the special place that it is.  We have used past ND Day funds to make improvements to our common spaces, our pool room, the study lounges, gym and so much more.  We have also used funds for a new basketball hoop, a new outdoor hall sign, and new uniforms for our hall sports teams to win and lose in style. Check out the Hall’s blog HERE to see the daily life in St. Ed’s and the impact that this ND Day has here.

 

But remember, NONE of this would be possible if not for you.  Your participation, and the encouraging of others to do the same, make all of this possible, having an immediate and tremendous impact on the lives, camaraderie, and spirits of those who call this hall their home under the Dome. 

 

All our love and thanks,

St. Edward & The Gentlemen of St. Edward’s Hall

Saturday Squirrel.

Just hanging around

On campus, you never know who you are going to see nor who is watching you! That's right. They, our furry friends, are always present, doing whatever it is that they do, and sometimes, just sometimes, you catch them in one of their favorite pastimes... watching us! That's exactly what happened when Fr. Ralph, who was walking by the great sycamore tree by Corby Hall commonly called the "Hand of God," noticed. Just by chance, Fr. Ralph looked up into the tree, and he saw this squirrel looking down at him. On being spotted, this squirrel non-verbaled, "Hi there."

The man of the hour: Dan Cook...

... gentleman. Daniel Cook '96, of Keenan Hall but adopted by Steds through his three sons Stedsmen, Ben, James and John, came to speak with the soon to be graduates and the newest Alumni, the Steds Seniors, and share his reflections about what Notre Dame means to him today, how it continues to be a part of and shape his life, as well as his life and career experiences. A part of the Gentlemen for Gentlemen series, this Senior Soirée, open only to seniors, didn't disappoint as not only the Steds seniors were able to gather- always a win- but also hear a reflection that truly hit home for those who are about the leave this special place and begin their own careers. On speaking at the Senior Soirée, Cook, Adopted Stedsman and University Architect, shared, "It was truly a great honor to speak to the senior gentleman of Saint Edward’s Hall as they approach this special moment in their lives. Notre Dame has meant so much to me personally that it is a gift to share some of life’s lessons with the next generation of leaders going out into the world to make a difference.”

Fr. Nate: Sharing smiles and wisdom with Steds

... with the literati! Steds hosted Fr. Nate Wills, CSC, who among other things, is the chaplain for the Notre Dame football team. Recently, Fr. Nate wrote a book titled Pray Like a Champion: Sacred Stories from the Sidelines of Notre Dame Football, and thanks to a generous benefaction, a copy of his book was made available to all residents of Steds. And if that wasn't enough, Fr. Nate came by the Hall for a book signing! 

On the receiving the book and having it signed, Sean Hyer (above in white), Steds junior and resident Floridan, shared, "It was awesome of Father Nate to take some of his time to come out and chat with the guys and sign everyone’s book. I’ve heard it is a great read and am looking forward to reading it soon," while his cousin, Brady Hyer (above in black), Steds sophomore and resident Floridan, added, “It is always a great time seeing Father Nate, and it was a very special opportunity for us to have him sign a copy of his book for all the Steds guys. It will definitely be my next read when I get the chance.”

The Masters...

Gnoming it up

... part three. Again, just when you thought the Masters didn't have more to give, well, it does! One of the lesser known traditions of the Masters is the Masters gnome. Gnomes of various sizes are sold each year, and they have become a collectible for any fan of the Masters. But if you want one, then come to the Masters early as there is a very limited quantity of bespoke gnomes. During his visit to the Masters, Evan Greer, Steds freshman and resident Marylander, was able to put his hands on one of these highly sought after statuaries. On Masters gnomes, Fr. Ralph said, "Gnome? Nah. But a leprechaun... now that's a different story!"
