We have just about wrapped up this semester. Your Deacs have departed. The residence halls are closed. The parking lots are very much empty. There is still a bit of business to be done: final grades for fall semester classes are due on the 19th. […]
It is the last Friday of the semester, Deac families. If your students are still here, ZSR has them covered with Wake the Library and free food at midnight. On tonight’s menu: hot dogs, veggie burgers, and the ultimate comfort food – grilled cheese. This […]
