Go Deacs!

Lastnight your Deacs had the chance to celebrate something we have not done since 2014: our men’s basketball team beat the 7th ranked Duke Blue Devils (a long time rival) in a thrilling double overtime game at home. AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICING! You […]


Someone has to go last

I have a series of things I preach from semester to semester and year to year. Most of them (I hope) are well received. There are a few things that are not necessarily popular, but they are both true and necessary to hear. Today’s topic: […]


Monday Updates

It’s a grey Monday here on campus, but at least there is no snow. The little bit we got last Thursday afternoon and evening was essentially gone by midday Friday, and was maybe an inch at best. In another couple of weeks it will be […]


Moving off campus – Column A and Column B

I am in an event for most of today and tomorrow, so this is a pre-post. This is a message mostly for parents and families of juniors, but if you have a first-year or a sophomore, this can be a preview of coming attractions for […]

Summer opportunities (and some student leadership too!)

It’s a new week – and a busy day in my office, so today will share several messages I have received from other groups. The first three are summer options for college, high school, and middle schoolers, respectively. Is your Deac considering law school after […]


Five Senses of Benson Food Court

Happy Valentine’s Day, Deac families! Hope your day is full of love and joy. If you want to sprinkle a little extra Valentine’s love on your student, send them a Deacon Greeting here. One quick program note before we get to today’s feast: yesterday […]


Ideas for the coming days, plus VOTE

It is raining again so I am holed up in my office. Whoever has the sun, please send it our way. We need it! Took a look at the Events calendar for the next few days, and there are some fun options across a range […]
