Move in...

The Welcome Week Crew 2026...

... day was perfect! First, the weather couldn't have been more agreeable…  even better than last year. In the high seventies and no humidity,  it had to be one of the better weather days for move in for the last twenty years. No lie! Next, the Hall's Welcome Week Committee, under the direction of juniors Pat Fischer and Henry Mackie, assisted further by sophomores Evan Greer, Evan von Rotz, and Darryl Brocken, was organized and sprung into action like a well oiled machine, making unloading times much shorter than your wait for an oil change. Matter of fact, move in was complete BEFORE Noon. Suffice it to say, it was efficient, but it was draining so that when there was a lull in the action, a much needed break was had. Still, there was time for some high jinx too. With no one being injured nor any items being lost, Move In Day 2026 was declared a success. On being the first to arrive on Move In Day, Ben Schechter, Steds freshman and resident Massachusettan, said, "The early bird gets the worm!"

... with Ben arriving first...


... and the crew was ready...

... but a break was need after a while...

... there was constant preparedness...

... but still time to squeeze in a podcast mini...

... as well as a smile...

... and it was all fun until...

... someone got hurt, well, almost...

... and in the end, even the President was impressed with our boys.
