Welcome back
I am back after a week away from the office, and it is a glorious day on campus. Sunny, low 70s, flowers are out, and we had a gigantic shower over the weekend that hopefully swept some of the pollen away. It was another big […]
Rainy Campus Day – and MA options
Many thanks to all the new Deac families who came to Campus Day for Accepted Students today. The weather was just as cantankerous as last week – yes, it rained again – but the families we met were so friendly, and excited, and were […]
#ThePollening
I have been seeing this on my social media threads for several days now – people talking about #ThePollening. It’s that time of year where all our trees are becoming beautifully green – and so is everything else. A light dust of greenish-yellow is […]
Sun day fun day
After that wild and wacky snow we got yesterday, today is a great day – sunny and nearly 70. I saw this on my social media lastnight and it very accurately summed up North Carolina weather. I also saw this online lastnight, and […]
Commencement Day Advice

Wake N Shake pics

Wake N Shake
It’s the end of the week, and the big event of the weekend is Wake N Shake, the 12-hour dance marathon that raises money for the Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund. Tons of students are involved, and they have been busy fundraising and also […]
We’re back!

Still trying to catch up on all that I had been missing because of the flu. Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. If you haven’t had the chance to send your Deac a card, we have you covered. Use our Deacon Greetings. They are electronic cards […]

Warning: Shameless Fangirling This past Friday night, I went to the keynote address of the Arts of Leading conference, with none other than Renee Elise Goldsberry, actor and singer extraordinaire. Ms. Goldsberry originated the role of Angelica in Hamilton and won a Tony Award […]
