Art Imitates Life

I was in Reynolda Hall the other day, and one of the things I love the most about our campus is the abundance of art (both student, faculty, and professional artists).  The staff here rotates the art every now and again, so something I might […]


Farrell Hall Grand Opening

Our much-anticipated new business building, Farrell Hall, opened in late summer and has quickly become an important feature on campus.  It has a new dining venue in it, Einstein’s Bagels, and I can tell you from experience that any time there is a new […]


Picture of the Day

If you spend any time at all on our campus, you have the opportunity to witness some pretty terrific views, practically everywhere you turn.  There are trees (which are just starting to begin turning into their blaze of fall glory), flowers, architecture, walking paths, formal […]


The Laramie Project

My New Favorite Place – Zick’s

Yesterday was a new experience and a rare treat for me.  I went to have lunch for the first time at Zick’s – our new pizza/hangout place in Poteat Hall.  I was surprised and delighted by Zick’s, and on multiple fronts. First – the food. […]


Carolina Chocolate Drops tonight

Tonight there is an opportunity for your students to enjoy – for free! – what promises to be a rousing musical performance.  The Secrest Artists Series brings national and international acts to campus, and tonight they are hosting the Carolina Chocolate Drops in Wait […]


Remembrance

I noticed on the Events calendar that today, on the anniversary of 9/11, Wait Chapel will be open all day for quiet reflection and remembrance.  The Chapel bells will toll at 8:46 am, when the first plane hit. It’s hard for me to imagine that […]
