I’m starting my travel for New Student Reception season – looking forward to Alexandria, VA tonight and Richmond on Sunday! Because I’ll be on the road, wanted to share a pic of the day. Our Ken Bennett is an amazing talent. This mirror image of […]
I hope by now that many of our P’22s have discovered the New Students website – this is the place where all the critical information for incoming students is stored. Yesterday, your students received an email (read full version here). Part of it […]
