OK. So we lost.
Yes, there was a big game this past Saturday night. WFU vs. Notre Dame. And yes, Wake lost, but it was only by 7, and we were a pretty formidable opponent through most of the game. Considering that Notre Dame is a big name and […]
Rainy Friday + Big Game Weekend
It was a rainy night lastnight and your students are waking up to gray and rainy skies today. Thankfully the weather is a little warmer today; we’d been in the low 40s every morning this week and there was frost on the ground. Today feels […]
Volunteer Service Corps
