Leaf watch

Another glorious day here, so I took a stroll around campus during a time that was a not-close-to-classes-changing, and I took the route that is the outer perimeter of campus (past North Campus apartments as opposed to the Quad). Despite the great weather, there were […]


For our alumni families

It was a chilly morning on campus – a brisk 35 degrees, and the first freeze warning of the season. Temps are going to be up tomorrow, then sliding down gradually the rest of the week, with a predicted high of only 47 on […]


Sunrise, sunset

Happy Friday to the Daily Deacdom! Hope you have a smooth end to your week and a wonderful weekend ahead of you. Seems like with the cooler weather, we have had some spectacular sunrises and sunsets this week. While it is probably highly unlikely that […]


Events miscellany

Tonight there is a Secrest Artist Series event – Jenny Lin, pianist, will be performing at 7:30 pm in Brendle Recital Hall. Once again this is a situation where I’d ask how many times in the future will your students have access to free, […]


Five Senses of Noon Class Change

Happy Hump Day, Deac families. We’re at the midpoint of the week, so let’s coast gently down to the weekend, shall we? Today is a beautiful fall day, and we haven’t featured a Five Senses post lately, so I thought I’d give something new […]


Up and Coming

In the news

The big national story for the day of course is Hurricane Michael, which is about to make landfall even as I type this (around 1 pm Eastern). We know this one looks to be Big and Bad for the Florida panhandle and the Gulf Coast. […]


Starting to feel like fall

Today is absolutely glorious. The temperature has dropped (thankfully) and it is just shy of 80 degrees. The sun is out, but the sky is peppered with some clouds so that helps to keep it feeling good. You can visit the Quad Cam and […]


Thoughts about registration

Happy Monday, Deac families. It was a hot weekend – feels way too hot to be October – but it looks like we will have some cooler weather coming in the next two weeks: high 70s, then mid-70s, then mid-60s. Fall is such a beautiful […]


Shipping and Mailing to Campus

Happy Friday, Deac families. Hope your Deacs enjoyed the [beastly hot and sweaty] Hit the Bricks yesterday! Fall Break is next Thursday and Friday (Oct. 11-12). An important consideration for Deacs staying on campus is the Fall Break Dining Hours of operation. Dining schedules […]
