One of my campus colleagues was driving onto campus after lunch today and got an updated shot of the Davis Field Road construction.
And that got me thinking about the many and varied things your Deacs might see over the course of a semester or a year. There are waaaaaaay too many possibilities to represent here – but I took a small sampling of pictures from the archive.
One of the things that makes me the happiest is when I see students swinging on the swings on campus. Swings seem to bring universal joy.
There are lots of programs, meals, and informal gatherings that happen in our Fireside by Manchester area.
Spontaneous musical performances – or even music blaring from Quad windows – adds a special vibe to campus.
Our students volunteer in a wide variety of ways, both on and off campus. It’s not hard to find examples of Pro Humanitate being lived out by our students.
Sometimes we have visiting scholars, artists, and others who bring their gifts and talents to campus. These sand paintings of visiting Tibetan monks were really spectacular.
And while our students’ minds are stretched in the classroom, there are a lot of other opportunities for stretching and growth.
I can’t wait to see all the amazing scenes – of the ordinary as well as the extraordinary – that your students will see this year. And speaking of extraordinary, this is a poem I like to share from time to time. Some of you may agree with this premise, others not. As always in the Daily Deac, take what you need and scroll past what you don’t 🙂
