August 21st will be here before you know it, and everyone is brimming with excitement about our new ’23 students moving in! The Office of Family Engagement normally gets a lot of questions about move-in strategy, and while we think every family needs to make […]
There was a surprised masked visitor on campus – if you can call a raccoon a masked man :) Our very own Ken Bennett, photographer extraordinaire, captured this raccoon near the Byrum Welcome Center a few weeks ago. There are some lovely woods […]
Today is an audience participation kind of day. One of the members of the Daily Deacdom asked me to provide an updated list of restaurant recommendations. I know what I might say, but I also want to hear what our experienced Deac families might say. […]
Today is sort of Move-In and P’23 info heavy. Lots to cover for our new families. If you have not seen our Class of 2023 Move-In video, view it here. It gives you a sense of what to expect. P’23s (and your ’23 Deacs), […]

This is a pre-posted message, as I am traveling for New Student Receptions. Even though it is summer (and the majority of our students are not here), it is still vitally important for students to be aware of issues of safety and how best to […]
Tomorrow it will be August, which means we’ll officially be in Move-In month. Very exciting to think that our new students will be here for Orientation in 20 days, and that our returning upperclass students shortly thereafter. If you have not seen the Orientation countdown clock, […]
