Full moon
This past weekend we had a full moon, and our intrepid Ken Bennett managed to capture it as it rose in the sky near Wait Chapel. Hope you enjoy it. We have had a couple of questions from Deac families about the Student […]
Tutoring
Normally after midterms we get an uptick in interest in the Learning Assistance Center and Disability Services, which offers free peer tutoring to students. Because this has been of interest, I asked Laura Denlinger, the Tutor Coordinator in the LAC, to share information about how […]

In the news
The big national story for the day of course is Hurricane Michael, which is about to make landfall even as I type this (around 1 pm Eastern). We know this one looks to be Big and Bad for the Florida panhandle and the Gulf Coast. […]
