I received an email from a WF parent yesterday in response to the blog post about sorority recruitment (it’s remarkably gratifying to know that this blog can connect with people!!) This parent wanted, in part, to let other parents know that in addition to the […]
Yesterday was gray. All. Day. And this morning is starting out the same way. From my perch in the University Services Building on the northeast side of campus, there was so much fog early that I could not see the top of Wait Chapel, or […]
