Let It Snow
As you have probably heard from your students, we had a snow day yesterday. Despite a prediction of 1-3″, we got a whopping 6.5″ of snow at my house, and I am only 3 miles from campus so I assume it was the same there. […]
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 […]

Reentry is hard
We’re gearing up for the return of our students. First it will be the young ladies who are participating in sorority recruitment (what we called “rush” when I was in college), then the rest of the student body. The start of the spring semester brings […]

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 […]
