Safety and Study Abroad

For those families that have students studying abroad now (or going in the fall), news of the horrific attack in London this week can be especially upsetting.  I wanted to let you know about the outstanding support our Global Programs and Services (aka study abroad […]


One Last Time

Today we are all about our P’17s who are looking forward to Commencement in May.  Many things to think about related to Commencement. Yesterday we announced the speaker for Commencement, historian Jon Meacham, and Baccalaureate, alumna Killian Noe (’80), founding director of Recovery Cafe […]


Five Senses of the Pit

Back by popular demand, today’s Daily Deac is a Five Senses.  Today I spent my lunch hour in the Pit (which I will neverneverever call the “Fresh Food Company” because it was then and will always be The Pit). I see… Lots of tables are […]


So Much To Do!

Today started out quite cool – in the 30s – but is approaching 60s as the afternoon progresses.  It’s the kind of day where you have to leave your residence hall with a coat or a sweatshirt but you can shed it once it warms […]

Last Week Roundup

Hard to argue with this weather – it was another terrific weekend (and very unusual for February to be near or in the 70s).  Today it is sunny and the temperature gauge on my car read 70 at lunch.  Girls are wearing summer dresses.  The […]


Crisp

It is a crisp, cold day on campus today. High of maybe 53, but with the breeze my weather app says it feels like 40.  It was cold enough that when I was walking the middle part of campus to and from a meeting, there […]


This is what happens…

When it is the beginning of February and it is nearly 80 degrees: The daffodils emerge from the soil and the pink trees start to bloom waaaaaaaaaay earlier than expected. This weekend was stunningly good weather. I was here on campus yesterday […]
