Drearydreadfulawful

National Alcohol Screening Day

Yesterday my friends and colleagues from Thrive had the Thrive tent set up right outside the entrance to the Pit on the Magnolia Patio.  April 5th was National Alcohol Screening Day and students, faculty, and staff could take a brief online alcohol screening and then […]


D.E.S.K.

I wish there was a Poteat Field Cam today because the D.E.S.K. service project is happening this afternoon.  On my way back from a meeting, I walked across Poteat Field to see a ton of desks being painted white in preparation for a […]
