One of our Deac Dads sent me a link to a really good article in the New York Times about college students and sleep. This is a startling fact: “Studies have shown that sleep quantity and sleep quality equal or outrank such popular campus concerns […]
We are a couple of weeks away from Move-In, and at this time of year I usually run a Daily Deac on an annual occurrence that is never a fun one. As our new first-year students go through Orientation, our upperclassmen/women will also be returning […]
