SNOW
We are closed today (Monday) because of the crazy snow storm we got over the weekend. At my house (about 3 miles from campus), we probably got 12 inches, with drifts up to 15-17″, because it was really windy. As I write this (9 am […]
LDOC – and oh yeah, SNOW
Happy Friday, Deac families! I woke up this morning to a Winston-Salem Journal news story about the snow that is expected to hit us this weekend. It looks like we are going to get a heaping helping of snow. Like 8-12″ of snow. Holy macaroni! […]
Notes from the road
I am in Atlanta for the rest of this week doing events here, but my sources on campus tell me a couple of things: First off, that it is COLD. Second, that with LDOC (Last Day of Classes) coming up on Friday, students are really […]
Tuesday update
NOTE: this Daily Deac was supposed to be published on Tuesday afternoon, but I missed the print deadline. So I am repeating it today. Apologies. ————————— This afternoon we sent out a security update to students, and then one to parents and families of current […]
Newsy day
We had a very news-filled weekend. On Sunday evening, a message was sent out to students, faculty, and staff (and a similar version sent to parents and families) about an unsubstantiated security threat that is being investigated (read it here: https://parents.wfu.edu/family-news/increased-security-presence-on-campus/). I know this […]

Opportunities
I was talking to a student the other day about career discernment – how do you figure out what you might like (or what you would definitely NOT like) to do for your career. And we got talking about the idea of an externship, which […]
Holiday Gifting?
A number of you had written me after yesterday’s Daily Deac to ask for the recipe for my mom’s cookies (y’all are so sweet). These taste sort of like shortbread. I hope you like them! P’92’s Awesome Red Cookies 2 c. butter 3/4 c. sugar […]
You have no idea the impact you might be making
It’s the time of year when I start making Christmas cookies (our office has a little tradition where we deliver cookies to some of our campus partners). These cookies are ones my P’92 mother has always made – very simple (yet delicious) butter and sugar […]
Seen in Reynolda
I was up in Reynolda and Benson today and saw that the holiday decorations are starting to go up. The big Moravian star is hanging over the doors of Wait Chapel (sun was not at a good angle to get a picture), and the Christmas […]
