Motivational Thoughts
As I continue my PTO, wanted to share some of the images I have shared with students in years past. Sometimes I would pull one of these out for one of my advisees if they were going through a tough time. Other images I had […]
Two Suggestions
In May, I was a panelist for a program geared towards families of high school seniors about to launch for college. During the course of that presentation, one of thing things we talked about was what family members should do when they get that frantic […]
Advice for the upcoming school year
Because I am out on PTO this week, I thought I’d dip into the archive and resurrect a Daily Deac from years past. I have a short-but-sweet piece of advice for your Deacs for the upcoming school year. As with all my advice, it is […]
The Ballerina Dilemma
As I continue my PTO this week through next Monday, I have pre-posted blogs to run in my absence. Several years ago, I was in a presentation by several young alumni. They were making a presentation to students sharing what they wish their 23 year […]

Updating Pandemic Protocols
Happy Friday, Deac families! Today the campus community received an email about updating pandemic protocols. This message was also sent to current parents and families (P’23-’26, now that our P’22s have graduated). One of the takeaways from the message is that in the coming […]
