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.”

Late, but...

Never looked better!

... not forgotten. Indeed, this posting is overdue, but thankfully, it wasn't forgotten. As Fr. Ralph is celebrating his twenty year of being the Steds Rector, former resident, RA, and resident Minnesotan, Andrew "Andy" Thomas '10, broke out his freshman welcome week shirt. Yes, that's right... that shirt is twenty years old. And like Fr. Ralph, the shirt is hiding its age well. On this rare wearing of vintage, bespoke Steds, Thomas said, "In honor of Move-In Weekend 2026, I had to break out my Frosh-O shirt from 20 years ago. Yes, 20 years ago. Have a great start to the year!"

A special...

Peter and Emily were there...

... experience is loved by everyone but especially when it has to do with Notre Dame football. That is what Emily and Peter Raus '23 were treated to this past weekend when Notre Dame took on the Owls of Rice. Enjoying great weather, the Rauses also enjoyed, thanks to a friend who is the director of recruiting for football, pre-game field passes. Suffice it to say, it was amazing experience. On returning to campus, Steds, and now, the football field on game day, Raus shared, "Emily and I have watched Irish football in many austere locations—Chapel Hill, Los Angeles, Raleigh and Palo Alto—and despite all that, the old saying rings true, 'there’s no where quite like home!'"
