Yesterday and today have been cold, gray, and drizzly. Unless your home area sported worse weather than this, your Deacs were probably not happy to get back here to this kind of climate. Especially because it is so close to finals starting. Students always have […]
Like many of your students (I suspect), I am getting started a little early on the Thanksgiving holiday and am looking forward to some time off with family and friends. Because it is the season of Thankfulness, I wanted to share a few of the things I […]
