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 […]
I was talking to a student the other day about career discernment – how do you figure out what you might like (or what you would definitely NOT like) to do for your career. And we got talking about the idea of an externship, which […]
I was up in Reynolda and Benson today and saw that the holiday decorations are starting to go up. The big Moravian star is hanging over the doors of Wait Chapel (sun was not at a good angle to get a picture), and the Christmas […]
