A message from...

President Trzaska

...the President, Joe Trzaska. Actually, it's more than just a message. It's a message AND an interview from the man leading the Sted's ND Day campaign. In addition to advancing his studies and general procrastination, President Trzaska is rallying everyone, deploying all forces and operatives, and mustering everything to aid and advance the Hall's 2017 ND Day campaign. Even though ND Day is a few days off, the Hall campaign starts today. Before it did, I had the chance to talk with President Traska. 


St.Ed: Is ND Day really that important to St. Ed’s?

Trzaska: Yes - in fact, it's important to almost every group on campus.  It just so happens that we in Steds have, for the past several years, been the first and foremost among nearly every club, dorm and team on campus in funds raised on ND Day.  As such, our signature events like yacht dance, the paintball outing, founder's week, and many others have similarly outclassed our competition's.  Inasmuch as Steds is the greatest community on campus, ND Day is critical to our remaining so.

St.Ed: What are you and your administration doing to make this year’s ND Day campaign a success?

Trzaska: Though none of our trio is particularly "creative" or "known for drumming up active and vigorous participation", we have been working hard on preparing materials to create help build the support and excitement for ND Day.  Expect a precise social media and email onslaught in the near future - one which will quickly render our competition's efforts futile.

St.Ed: If this year’s campaign is successful as last year’s was, how will the Hall use its ND Day funds?

Trzaska: There are always more worthy uses for dorm funds.  Of course, first and foremost would be the continued support of the great yacht dance.  Many outside our hallowed halls seem to have a vendetta against the greatest formal to grace Notre Dame's campus, and funding the dance so well ourselves does wonders to keep it "afloat."  In other areas, we plan to bring well-earned updates to the beloved Flounge, keep our inter-hall teams the best-clad around, and possibly install a slide from the fourth to first floor.

St.Ed: Why should someone give to St. Ed’s on ND Day?

Trzaska: For the kids! Steds has, for the past several years, been extremely successful in the events of ND day. WIth your help, we can continue to leave the likes of Zahm, Sorin, and Keenan in our dust and secure Sted’s stronghold as the greatest dorm on campus.

There you have it folks... For the kids!
