Hit the Bricks Is Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is one of my very, very favorite days on campus: Hit the Bricks.  The Events Calendar describes Hit the Bricks as follows: “Hit the Bricks is a Brian Piccolo Cancer Fund philanthropy now in its 12th year. Relay teams of students, faculty […]


Back to Nice Temps

This started out as an extremely foggy day, but it quickly improved and the sun was not only out by 11 am, but it was downright hot if you stood outside for too long.  It is nice to have good weather again. Fall is beginning […]


Awareness – and a Bonus Five Senses

This is a carry over from Friday, Deac families.  I was making my way back to my office following my observations in the ZSR Starbucks for Friday’s Five Senses post, and saw some signs and daffodils in Tribble Courtyard and on the Mag […]


Five Senses of the ZSR Starbucks

It’s Black and Gold Friday in the Parent Programs office – and, we hope, with your family as well.  We encourage you to dress in black and gold colors or in WFU apparel every Friday to show your school spirit.  And because it’s Friday, we […]

Bringing Back an Old Favorite

One of the fun things about writing the Daily Deac is when we get feedback from readers about what you have enjoyed or what you want to see in future blog posts.  We also can get some insights from the number of hits we get […]

Here’s another programming note for your students.  We have an incredibly talented University Theatre, and the Daily Deac is a huge fan.  We have a production opening this week and running through the end of September, and we want to encourage your students to go […]


First Signs of Fall

For today’s Daily Deac, I took a stroll around campus up through one of my favorite spots, Reynolda Village and Reynolda Gardens.  It is a superb day – high 70s and sunny, light breeze.  Perfect weather. On the Quad, various student organizations have made banners […]
