... over! The bespoke Steds apparel line has arrived! Right when the weather became more fall like and temperatures dropped precipitously, becoming down right chilly in the mornings, the Steds fall apparel arrived. It couldn't have been better time, the Steds couture fall apparel line arrived so the Stedsmen could not only stay warm but also "rep" Steds about campus and beyond. On receiving being the first to pick up his fall bespoke and couture apparel, Tate Guyton, Steds freshman and resident Michigander, shared, "Just another reason fall at Notre Dame is undefeated.”

... they're married! With Fr. Ralph witnessing and the Steds family present, Gabriella "Gabby" Belsito '22 of St. Mary's and Alex Morrison '22 of Steds were married at St. John the Evangelist Church in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was a rainy day, but just before things got underway, the rain stop, the sun came out, and it was a perfect day for a wedding! Suffice it to say, it was a day filled with much emotion, tears of joy, and smiles. On Gabby joining the Steds family, Kyle Rubin, Stedsman, Steds Apparel designer, and groomsman, shared, "Finally! Absolutely elated to welcome Gabby to the Steds family. Two of the most genuine people I know, and it was an honor to be included in their special day!"
Best wishes and congratulations to Gabby and Alex!

With our squirrels taking a break, we focus our attention on another campus neighbor. Recently, passing by the Presbytery, this neighbor, a praying mantis, was spotted on the wall. Easily spotted against a white wall, this ambush predator would be most difficult to spot in the wild. On being spotted, this mantis non-verbaled, "Scram! You're drawing too much attention."

... doing? A little late, yes, but a question we must ask nevertheless ask. Yes, what are our Stedsmen doing now that they no longer have classes to attend, papers to procrastinate writing, nor any thing else for that matter, especially if they have graduated?! Indeed, what are they doing this summer?! Well, some are busy at work, and that's certainly NOT what President Tommy Kelly '26 is doing... working. Tommy, joined by his dad and cousins, made their annual pilgrimage to Ireland to ascend Croagh Patrick in County Mayo. An annual climb for Tommy and his family, the climb is a place of pilgrimage as St. Patrick spent forty days at the top fasting and in prayer. Atop Croagh Patrick is a church, and on Reek Sunday, the last Sunday in July, thousands ascend the holy mountain. On reaching the top of Croagh Patrick, Kelly shared, "At the top of Croagh Patrick, two American priests celebrated Mass in the chapel. One of them happened to be a Notre Dame grad and former Zahm resident!"
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!

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!"

... 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!"

... 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.”

... 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!'"
