Move in...

As the first Steds car arrives...

... Day 2021! Unlike last year, the Steds Welcome Week committee was front and center on Move In Day directing, washing windows, and of course, unloading the cars of some forty incoming freshmen. Yes, amid the heat and humidity, which made it feel like the low nineties, the Welcome Week crew discharged their duties with speed, precision, and a healthy amount of gusto. As the day went on and the day grew hotter, the crew did not wilt. No, the crew only honed their skills so that cars were unloaded BEFORE the new Stedsmen entered the Hall. Amazing! Yet, there is something else to note... the actions of the Steds standard bearer, Michael Mitchell. Waving the Steds Hall flag as if he was at the Olympics, Mitchell directed cars to Steds and the awaiting move in crew. On the day, Michael Mitchell, Steds sophomore, said, "As a Welcome Week Committee, it was our finest hour, and on Friday, August 21st, a flag was planted for the next great generation of Stedsmen to follow."

... Mitchell grabs the flag...


... and he and the crew take a breather after unloading.
