I am traveling this week, so this is one of many pre-posted Daily Deacs. Many years ago, I was in a meeting where our Dean of Residence Life, Donna McGalliard, was discussing the intentionality of our campus design and the fact that our residence hall […]
Wandered down to the ZSR Library midday with my hopeful Class of ’27 Deac, who wanted to wander around to every floor and examine every nook and cranny. We stumbled upon a couple of little-known places and spaces and thought it might be fun for […]
