The Last Monday of Classes

It’s a drizzly gray morning, Deac families.  It’s warm outside, maybe in the mid-60s, and supposedly the sun will come out a little later today.  We need a little brightness to perk up your students, who are no doubt dragging with classes ending and finals […]


Ending this Week, Looking to Next

Reminders and To-Dos

It’s the home stretch of the semester – and most of our students have an enormous case of Spring Fever – so it might be a good time for a couple of reminders, to-do list style. Think about summer school – The online phase of […]


Safety

Yesterday was the five year anniversary of the tragedy at Virginia Tech.  For those of us who work at college campuses nationwide, the safety and security of our students is paramount.  In light of what happened to our sister ACC school just to the north, […]
