A chalky peek in the archives

I have been thinking a lot about going back to normal times on campus. One of the things I love most during a normal academic year is walking across our beautiful campus and stumbling on the unexpected. Sometimes in my wanderings, I would find something […]


The importance of primary sources

One of the academic lessons we try to teach our students is the importance of using reliable sources in research and papers. By reliable, I mean primary sources: places that have a proven track record of verifiably true content because it was generated by the […]


Meet A Deac

Even in non-pandemic years, the Student Health Service is one of our most critical areas on campus: they specialize in college student health, serve as your student’s primary care physician while they are here, help students with everything from chronic conditions to urgent care needs, […]
