Hump Day, finals edition

It’s Wednesday – the hump in the middle of the week – and your Deacs who are still here are hard at work on their final exams and projects.  Stay strong, Deacs!  It’s almost over! There are all sorts of practical matters to cover today […]


Helping students prep for finals with food, costumes, and compassion
