Graffiti Art
On Sunday my family and I went to campus to take a walk. It was a beautiful, crisp and sunny fall day. There was a pretty stout breeze, but with the warmth of the sun you only needed a light jacket. Very nice weather. I […]
This Week’s Old Gold and Black
The Old Gold and Black is the student newspaper, which is published online. It comes out each Friday, and I thought I’d give our Deac families a sampling of the articles. Of course, you can also go online to oldgoldandblack.com and read the […]
Sunset
Yesterday at the end of the day was a beautiful sunset. We’d had a very nice day – warm, upper 70s, blue skies. And as it got closer to sunset, the sky was filled with streaky pink and orange clouds. Between the long, colorful clouds […]
Tuesday at the ZSR
I had a meeting in Reynolda Hall at 11:00 yesterday and then was meeting some folks in the ZSR Library at 12:45, so I had about 45 minutes of time to sit with my laptop and do some work outside the office. I thought it […]

The trees on and near campus are just beginning to turn. In another few weeks, the trees will be bursting with glorious color. And if you are a fan of fall foliage (or if your students are), I recommend the drive down Reynolda Road past […]
Volunteer Service – One Way to Get Involved
Our student body tends to be especially socially-conscious and volunteer-oriented. If your student wants to get involved on campus and do something in the spirit of our Pro Humanitate (for humanity) motto, the Volunteer Service Corps is a great place to start. The VSC […]
Civil War Resources Online at the ZSR
Our Z. Smith Reynolds Library is the intellectual hub of campus and their talented staff offers a tremendous set of resources to our students. There is a special new collection that has opened, and we thought for those Deac families who are history buffs (or […]
