Sun day fun day
After that wild and wacky snow we got yesterday, today is a great day – sunny and nearly 70. I saw this on my social media lastnight and it very accurately summed up North Carolina weather. I also saw this online lastnight, and […]
April Fools!
Many thanks to those in the Daily Deacdom who took yesterday’s April Fool’s joke in the spirit that it was intended. In case you missed it, yesterday’s post was an April Fool’s prank, saying that I was going to start a life-coaching service […]
Daffodils everywhere
Happy Monday, Deac families! It was a beautiful weekend on campus – sunny, warm with a gentle breeze. On Friday night my social media feeds were filled with pictures of campus – specifically of flowers, mostly in the path leading between campus and Reynolda […]

One clarification from yesterday’s Daily Deac: the info I provided about class registration and housing registration refers to currently enrolled students only – folks who are here taking classes now as current first-years, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Incoming first-years in the Class of 2023 will […]
My least popular piece of advice
Academic advising is happening this week and next, so there will be a lot of students looking at their schedules and hoping to get in this class or that. Housing selection for residence halls will happen in the coming weeks too, with jockeying for residence […]
We’re back!
We are happy to have all our students back on campus following Spring Break. It is definitely much quieter here without them. Dr. Hatch sent a message to the campus community yesterday in regard to the Christchurch, NZ shooting; read it here. Today, he […]
Update on campus news
During my last Daily Deac before spring break, I ended with this: “We’ll take the week off from the Daily Deac next week, since your students are gone, unless there is some sort of Big News that can’t wait.” As if on cue, there was […]
