Two Upcoming Events of Note

I received a message yesterday from one of our History faculty members about an upcoming panel discussion this Thursday that might be of interest to current students, but also to any families who might be visiting for this Friday’s Campus Day.  Here are some details: […]


A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

Happy Monday, Deac families – and it’s a beautiful one here at Mother So Dear.  Saturday night I had the pleasure of attending a reception in honor of Harold Tedford, Professor Emeritus of Theatre, and for whom the Main Stage Theatre has been named.  It […]


Shag on the Mag

Shag on the Mag happens tomorrow night, and the SOTM tent is going up today.  This is always a terrific event, with students dressing up and doing shag dancing to beach music, which is a delightful North Carolinian kind of tradition. You can see […]


The Worry Letter, and the Advice Letter

Happy Monday, Deac families!  I am an enormous fan of the lost art of letter writing.  Many moons ago in 2013, we ran a Daily Deac called “The Worry Letter,” which was one of the blogs on which I got the most feedback from […]


The Great Outdoors

After a couple of chilly days, we’re getting back up to the 70s and magnificent spring weather. And right now, there is no better place to be than outdoors on our beautiful campus.  You’ll see in the photos below that the trees and flowers are really spectacular. […]


Best Breakfasts in Winston-Salem

For any of you who might be traveling to campus in the coming weeks – either to spend Easter Weekend with your student, or for move-out in May, today’s Daily Deac is all about food.  Our provost, Rogan Kersh (’86), is guest blogging today to […]


Senior Orations – Buck Hinman (’16)

It’s the end of a glorious week on campus.  It’s been in the 70s and 80s all week, but to my dismay we’re about to hit a cold and possibly rainy stretch this weekend and early next week. Big, breaking news of the day: there […]


Much To Say – Even More to DO!

You are probably all tiring of the descriptions of the superb weather we are having here, but it bears repeating. It. Is. Glorious. Lots on the docket to talk about today, most of it coming in the vein of ‘items on the WFU smorgasboard’.  Urge […]


Been There, Done That. Tell Us What You Know.

I have the worst case of Spring Fever ever, and I gotta be honest, it is really hard to want to sit in my office and work when I could go outside and enjoy the sunshine and nearly 80 degree weather.  So today’s Daily Deac […]


It’s Almost Unfair How Nice the Weather Is

I went out to lunch today to The Porch (which, if your students have not discovered, they need to. Great tex-mex and the best queso in the city).  It was the first time I had been out of my building today, and the weather is […]
