Senior Oration – Tori Tschantz (’16)

Hope you are having a great Spring Break (maybe with your Deac home with you, along with his/her friends?). Since it is quiet on campus, we’re continuing our feature series on Senior Orations.  Today we hear from Tori Tschantz (’16). ——————– It’s 5 o’clock-ish Somewhere […]

Where Are They?

I sure hope you have ESPN U as part of your cable TV service and could watch last night’s incredible men’s basketball game. Our Deacs had not been doing well of late – hadn’t won a game since January 10th, I believe – but that all changed […]


Nice, Sunny Day

Today is a nice and sunny day on campus. The air is cool, but the sun is warm. I had lunch in the Benson Center today and saw a lot of students hanging around at the tables on the patio. After having had snow earlier […]
