They see me rollin’
So there is a new kind of ‘roll the Quad’ happening right now: they are rolling giant wheels of sod out onto the Quad so we get our grass back. Yay! As of yesterday morning, they had just started rolling the side of […]
What is up with the Quad, you ask?
An intrepid Daily Deac-er emailed me yesterday to ask what is going on with the Quad. Intrepid parent said they had been looking at the Quad Cam and wondered why the Quad grass was gone. My excellent colleague Ken Bennett, our university photographer extraordinaire, […]
New Deac Week (Orientation) schedule is live
Summer is a lighter news time for us, so our Daily Deacs are likely to be shorter, with more practical, tactical information. This one is just for the P’23s – the New Deac Week (aka Orientation) schedule is out! Kudos to my colleagues in the […]

Commencement!
Commencement is arguably the best day of the year (possible runner up is Move-in Day for new students). And today was a picture perfect – if hot – day. The morning started out really overcast, which was a blessing, because it kept us a little […]
The symmetry – oh, the symmetry
For those of you who like to watch construction or landscaping projects in process, I hope you have been tuned in to the Quad Cam. Because the tent and stage were constructed (yesterday I think), and today we are coming to The Placing of […]
Family Matters
Most of our students have departed campus (save for some seniors perhaps who did not go to post-exams at the beach). It feels empty without them, but in a week we will be celebrating one of the best days of the WFU year: Commencement. Dr. […]
