Campus is finally seeing the beauty of spring begin. There are about a billion daffodils on campus – especially in the drive up the main entrance by the Byrum Welcome Center. And as you walk around campus, you might see crocus (crocii?), or creeping phlox, […]
One clarification from yesterday’s Daily Deac: the info I provided about class registration and housing registration refers to currently enrolled students only – folks who are here taking classes now as current first-years, sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
