Study spaces, Wake the Arts, and pandemic musings

I think it’s been 6 months since I have been working from my dining room table, and I miss being able to see campus every day. So I am always extra happy when there is a photostory that let’s me see what I am missing. […]


Brian’s Song

Last night I was sent this gorgeous photostory by Lauren Berryman (’21) entitled Hidden Gems of the Great Outdoors from the Office of Sustainability. It is about how to find peace in nature during this pandemic, and is filled with stunning images and reflections […]


Random testing dashboard is live

We continue our streak of cool weather. It was about 50 degrees when I let my Deac Dogs out on the deck this morning and it was quite crisp. Hope that our students will take advantage of the good weather and all the tents and […]


Cooler and loving it

Comparison is the thief of joy

Today I am trying to go a little COVID light, just to give us all a breather. It is hard to be pandemic focused all the time. Two quick COVID hits: 1) there is a new September 15 Campus Health Update on the dashboard, […]


Monday news

So it was a drizzly day, and it wasn’t the ending we wanted for the Wake-Clemson game, but we still made it the best weekend we could. Hope you got a chance to watch College GameDay on Saturday. Class of ’27 and I drove by […]


Rounding out the week

There is a new Campus Health Update on the dashboard page: “During consultations with public health experts before the start of the semester, they predicted that we could see an increase in positive cases of COVID-19 two to four weeks after the start of […]
