A new week
Was up on the Quad around 11 am this morning. Happily, it is a sunny day, but it is also pretty cold, low 40s. Most of the students were bundled up in jackets and scarves and boots. In weather like this, people walk quickly to […]
All kinds of news today

Couple Quick Things
Three quick things today. 1. Got my first glimpse (not live, in photo form) of students in class at Wake Downtown. This is Dr. King teaching Organic Chemistry (a tough class, or so I hear.) Great to see Wake Downtown in action! 2. A […]
