OK y’all, it’s that time of year again. You know that as a general rule, I like to keep money talk out of the Daily Deac, but we are getting to the end of our fiscal year and our year-end goals are very much on […]
Today begins the enrollment/waiver process for health insurance. **Every** year, you must either enroll your Deac in our student health insurance program or request a waiver (or you will be automatically billed for our insurance). If you intend to waive coverage, we have to make […]
I’m thinking of our incoming first-year students today. Many of them are graduating from high school this week or next, and they are at the pinnacle of their K-12 success. They know who they are within their school. They have their friend group. They have […]

It’s LDOC – Last Day of Classes. And so today’s Pic of the Day is someplace I bet a lot of your Deacs will be visiting over the next two weeks – the ZSR Library. I love how Ken Bennett captured the sunlight streaming in. […]
