Long Time Coming
My apologies to the Daily Deacdom on Friday for missing a post – it had been a long, tough week. For those of you who have been following the blog for a long time, you might recall me mentioning that I am currently in a […]
It’s Your Turn!
Today instead of sharing things from campus in the Daily Deac, I want to give you the opportunity to provide some feedback on the blog. This is a short form about the blog. 9 questions: 3 opportunities to tell me what you want to […]
Some sad news from campus
