I am in Atlanta for the rest of this week doing events here, but my sources on campus tell me a couple of things: First off, that it is COLD. Second, that with LDOC (Last Day of Classes) coming up on Friday, students are really […]
NOTE: this Daily Deac was supposed to be published on Tuesday afternoon, but I missed the print deadline. So I am repeating it today. Apologies. ————————— This afternoon we sent out a security update to students, and then one to parents and families of current […]
