NOTE: this Daily Deac was supposed to be published on Tuesday afternoon, but I missed the print deadline. So I am repeating it today. Apologies. ————————— This afternoon we sent out a security update to students, and then one to parents and families of current […]
We had a very news-filled weekend. On Sunday evening, a message was sent out to students, faculty, and staff (and a similar version sent to parents and families) about an unsubstantiated security threat that is being investigated (read it here: https://parents.wfu.edu/family-news/increased-security-presence-on-campus/). I know this […]
I was a diener (rhymes with ‘wiener’ – which is a server) at the early Lovefeast, so I had a bird’s eye view to all the action. The evening Lovefeast was very similar (it was a little longer, with fewer sounds of young children). You […]

Our Deacs are back on campus, hopefully rested and relaxed after a few days off and (we hope) a lot of good food, fun, and loved ones. We’re starting Monday morning on a rainy and grey note, which does not make it easy to get […]
Just a reminder that our Office of Family Engagement will be closed Wednesday through Friday, returning Monday the 26th. As such, I will be taking a break from blogging to enjoy Thanksgiving with Mr. Daily Deac, Class of ’27 Deac, and our Deac Dogs. Thanksgiving […]
