SNOW
We are closed today (Monday) because of the crazy snow storm we got over the weekend. At my house (about 3 miles from campus), we probably got 12 inches, with drifts up to 15-17″, because it was really windy. As I write this (9 am […]
LDOC – and oh yeah, SNOW
Happy Friday, Deac families! I woke up this morning to a Winston-Salem Journal news story about the snow that is expected to hit us this weekend. It looks like we are going to get a heaping helping of snow. Like 8-12″ of snow. Holy macaroni! […]
Newsy day
We had a very news-filled weekend. On Sunday evening, a message was sent out to students, faculty, and staff (and a similar version sent to parents and families) about an unsubstantiated security threat that is being investigated (read it here: https://parents.wfu.edu/family-news/increased-security-presence-on-campus/). I know this […]
Opportunities

Seen in Reynolda

Letters So Dear
I have had a couple of questions in the past day or two about registration and scheduling, often saying that classes I/my student wants or needs are not available. Typically these are for first-year students or sophomores who are trying to get basic or divisional […]
The making of a Moravian Star
Last week the Chaplain’s office held a workshop with local artist and Moravian Star-maker, Max Brady. We were in need of a new Moravian Star for the Lovefeast, and so faculty and staff were invited to help create the new one. The process was really […]
Skyward
There is a bright yellow thing in the sky we have not seen in several days. It is called the sun. FINALLY, after days and days of what felt like endless rain, we are dry. What I would not give to have been able to […]
News from around the campus
Our Office of Sustainability sent me this information for our November e-newsletter (which should go out later this week), but I thought it might be helpful to get this out to the Daily Deacdom as soon as possible: “Is your student headed home for the […]
