I’m at an all-day staff meeting today, so this is a pre-posted blog with content from my friends in the Office of Sustainability. Updated to add: We had two broadcast emails go to students, faculty, and staff on Sunday and Monday. The first was to […]
Happy LFOC (Last Friday of Classes) to all. No doubt this is going to be a busybusybusy weekend for our Deacs as they finish classes and prep for finals, which start May 3rd. But first, let me say a hale and hearty THANK YOU to […]
