The heat and sun of Commencement have left us.  Campus today is cool, misty, and grey.  And very empty.  Big Commencement stage?  It’s gone, as seen on the Quad Cam.

Things are slow on campus right now.  Summer school doesn’t start for a couple more weeks, and the university will be closed this coming Monday for Memorial Day.  But we do have some fun things happening in other parts of the country, and today I want to let you know about an event the first week of June in Boston.

There will be a financial outlook event on June 3rd, featuring several Deac parents as well as Jim Dunn, our outstanding CEO and CIO of Verger Capital Management.  Jim’s a remarkable guy and a great speaker; he worked for Wake Forest managing the endowment and then the university spun off the endowment management function into its own company.  If you live in Boston (or if your Deac is there working or interning over the summer), you really should go.

Full details and RSVP info is below.
