The Herd Is Thinning

There is definitely a big drop in the number of students here.  Walking across the Quad midday, I only saw two or three students.  In Reynolda Hall, where they often find couches and tables and spots to study, there were far fewer students than earlier […]


Report from the Field

One of the most crowded places during Finals Week is the ZSR Library.  There are many reasons to be there – books, Starbucks, librarians who can help you find sources, but also because of Wake the Library.  Wake the Library is the ZSR’s way of providing […]


Worrying and Perspective

Finals and the stress of finals tends to get students stirred up.  That’s pretty normal.  Add to that a lack of sleep, iffy food choices, and/or a lack of exercise, and you can have the perfect storm for anxiety, worry, melodrama, etc. You know that […]


Late Night Breakfast

Was lastnight. What a blast!  Tons of students, all of whom had hearty appetites for eating breakfast at 1o or 11 pm 🙂 Got to see lots of Chem students, Econ students, Philosophy students, some student-athletes, and a fantastic group who did the Electric Slide. […]


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. […]


Photo Friday

In the interest of full disclosure, today I am at a field trip with my Class of ’27 Deac, so I took the liberty of pre-posting this. Happy Friday, Deac families!  Hope you are partaking in Black and Gold Friday – wear your best black […]
