A colleague from the International Studies area sent me an email about an event tomorrow evening (October 6th) that looks very interesting. This event is part of Winston-Salem and the World Scene: a collaboration of institutions of higher education within Winston-Salem. The group is focusing on […]
Thursday there is a wonderful event on campus called Hit the Bricks. It’s a fundraiser for the Brian Piccolo Cancer Fund, and teams of up to 10 people run (or in my case, walk) laps on the Quad. Teams can be formed by: fraternities, sororities, […]

It’s Friday, Deac families. The end of the week for your students, and it has been a pretty rainy one. We’ve had rain on and off for the past three days. The temperature has been cooler – low to mid 70s – and when it […]
