Preview of Coming Attractions?

Some of our Deac parents and families have already seen snow this season.  We’ve got none of it in the forecast, but if you want a glimpse of what life looks like on those occasions where we do have snow, a few pics are below. […]


Last Week of Classes

And the grey, drizzle has not really let up.  We need some relief and some sunshine to brighten up what is already a stressful week (last week of classes). Hopefully all our parents and families remembered that tuition was due yesterday, December 1st.  If not, […]


Lots of Good Things Coming Up

Yesterday and today have been cold, gray, and drizzly.  Unless your home area sported worse weather than this, your Deacs were probably not happy to get back here to this kind of climate.  Especially because it is so close to finals starting.  Students always have […]


Happy Thanksgiving!

Like many of your students (I suspect), I am getting started a little early on the Thanksgiving holiday and am looking forward to some time off with family and friends. Because it is the season of Thankfulness, I wanted to share a few of the things I […]


Cold But Triumphant Sunday

I so hope your Deacs made the chilly trek to Spry Stadium yesterday afternoon to watch our #1 ranked men’s soccer team take on UNC-Charlotte.  It was a cold and windy day, so dressing warm was a must. Looked to be a huge crowd, too. […]

Miscellany

Some miscellaneous news and observations for you today: The Benson Center has been decorated for the holidays.  There is a great big Christmas tree in the lobby and garland on the railings.  There is a Hanukkah display in the alcove with a Menorah.  I was […]


Men’s Soccer Is #1

The NCAA Tournament bracket came out for men’s soccer – and we are seeded #1.  Our Deacs will play this Sunday at Spry Stadium at 1 pm; they will face the winner of the Radford-Charlotte game on Thursday.  There’s a nice video with […]


Today Is About Community

I suspect like many of you, I was shocked and horrified to see the events unfolding in Paris on Friday afternoon.  I worried for the French people (I had studied abroad in France while at WFU), but also for our study abroad students – those […]


Five Senses of Farrell

I was out yesterday for Veteran’s Day, but belated thank you to all of those in the larger Deac family who have served or are serving our country, and especially to our ROTC alumni. On today’s menu: the Five Senses of Farrell, as seen between […]
