Senior Orations – Part II

We continue our look at the Senior Orations read during Founder’s Day Convocation in late February.  Today we have two that were read in Wait Chapel: “The Case for Generalism”, by Robert “Tripp” Maloney (’16) Even as I approach the end of my time […]


Spring Break Safety

Spring Break is next week.  The break comes right after midterms, and students will be ready for a break.  Some of them might come home to you to visit, others might go to the beach (either in the US or the Caribbean).  Some will go on […]


Worrell Discoveries

The long-awaited addition to Worrell Professional Center (WPC) is now completed, so our department of Health and Exercise Science has moved in there. I have seen students and faculty coming and going so I decided to take a little walkabout.  (True confession: mostly I got […]

Where Are They?

I sure hope you have ESPN U as part of your cable TV service and could watch last night’s incredible men’s basketball game. Our Deacs had not been doing well of late – hadn’t won a game since January 10th, I believe – but that all changed […]


February 2016 Thrive Social Norms Campaign
