Lots of Catching Up to Do

We’re back at it after a week of PTO and being totally off the grid.  It’s a gorgeous day, sunny and low 80s.  If one could complain about anything, it would be that the pollen is out in full force.  People’s cars have a green […]


Three views of the beauty of spring

There is so much gorgeousness going on on campus right now.  Spring is Mother So Dear at her prettiest.  Enjoy the view!


Kendall Huennekens (’17) Senior Oration: “The Demon Deacon on My Shoulder”

Happy Humpday, Deac families.  It’s the middle of the week, which means (sadly) that my vacation is half over.  Today we are featuring another Senior Oration – from Kendall Huennekens (’17).  This is entitled “The Demon Deacon on My Shoulder.” ————————— As a child you look […]

There is a sweeping illness going around campus right now, and it’s called Spring Fever. Seriously, it is soooooo hard for your students to want to work right now, because the weather is nothing short of stunning.  It’s mid 70s today, nice and sunny, a […]


Just a few quick hits today

For those of us who were loving the warm weather, it is gone today.  Highs only in the mid 50s today, but supposedly we are going to be closer to 70 tomorrow and Saturday. So today I’m doing just a few quick hits. Starting with […]


Five Senses of the Pit

Back by popular demand, today’s Daily Deac is a Five Senses.  Today I spent my lunch hour in the Pit (which I will neverneverever call the “Fresh Food Company” because it was then and will always be The Pit). I see… Lots of tables are […]


So Much To Do!

Today started out quite cool – in the 30s – but is approaching 60s as the afternoon progresses.  It’s the kind of day where you have to leave your residence hall with a coat or a sweatshirt but you can shed it once it warms […]
