Thursday update

Today is the first day that our upperclass students (sophomores, juniors, and seniors) can return to campus for move-in, and we are eager to welcome them back. A number of P’24s wrote to me yesterday with concerns that students were not wearing masks and/or were […]

Yesterday I got a look at campus through the photos of our University Photographer, Ken Bennett. As you can see, there are a bunch of tents that have been set up on campus. Some of them will be tents for dining (as we seek to […]


Tuesday Gems

A bright spot landed in my email box recently and I wanted to share it with you. It is an email that came from a P’24 to our Dean of the College, Michele Gillespie. The author and the faculty member gave me permission to share […]
