Questions for break

For many years, I would prepost a “Pic of the Day” during the time that our offices were closed for Winter Break – just for those of you who reallyreallyreally like your daily fix from campus. I had some positive feedback from the Daily Deacdom […]

It feels like just yesterday when your Deacs moved to campus. This semester has truly gone by in a flash. Things are exceedingly quiet on campus. I don’t think there are 20 cars outside of the section of the big parking lot closest to Alumni […]

This is what 14 inches of snow looks like
