Lots of energy

The students are back, and there is a lot of energy back on campus with them. Today is Bid Day for sororities, which means at 3:45 pm, groups started gathering on the Quad (or at their lounges if at other residence halls off the Quad) […]


I Have A Dream

Administrative offices are closed today in observance of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. It is a day that many people will spend in reflection and in service to others. So for today’s Daily Deac, thought it would be meaningful to reprint his entire […]


Spotlight on mental health

I know that students are trickling back on to campus. How, you ask? As I drove off campus last night, I saw a handful of young people jogging. Normally when school is in session, there are a ton of students jogging on campus and on […]


Monday Roundup

Happy Monday, Deac families. Today’s Daily Deac is going to be like buckshot – a little bit of everything all over the place. Weather: know that there are many parts of the country dealing with frigid weather – and Winston-Salem had been among them until […]

First Day Back for Us

Today is the first day that administrative offices are open on campus after the Winter Break. No more pajamas and couch time for us, it’s back to real adulting :) As in so many other parts of the country, campus is freezing cold. I mean, […]


Winter Break

Normally I would spend my last day in the office before vacation pre-posting Daily Deacs for all the days I will be out, but a very kind Deac parent suggested to me that I take a proper vacation and be truly off duty. So I […]


Final Grade Reporting, and Greek information

It has been insanely quiet on my part of campus. Lots of staff have already left town. Of note, final grades were due yesterday. Your Deacs will be able to access them in WIN. Especially for our P’21 new families, please know that your student’s […]
