Seen on campus

These photos are from yesterday. I had every intention of making the Daily Deac about them, but I got busy and looked up and it was after 5 pm (and past the Daily Deac mailing deadline). Ooops. A day late, here are some photos that […]


Let’s go, Deacs!

It is a beautiful, sunny, warm day on campus. A perfect Friday to end the week. With the Wake-Notre Dame game at noon tomorrow, we’ve seen an uptick in ND fans walking around campus, and more chalked-on-the-sidewalk reminders of the game. Another chalked notice is […]


Several announcements

The Weather Forecast and the Human Forecast

Things continue to hop here on campus in regard to Hurricane Florence. Every day we have a Crisis Management Meeting at 3 pm (and there are numerous other meetings during the day on hurricane-related stuff). Trying to keep you all as up to date as […]


Hurricane Update as of 1 pm 9/11

We have been moving at the speed of light on campus to make sure things are in place regarding Hurricane Florence. Want to give you an update on what we are doing and how you can stay informed. On the main Parents and Families page […]
