LDOC – and let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

LDOC today, my Deac families! That means Last Day of Classes – and having just had my LDOC for grad school, I can attest to the fact that it feels like a joyous day indeed. Your students will power through today, and then they will […]


Meet A Deac – Derri Stormer
