I’m still traveling, but wanted to reprise an oldie-but-goodie, my annual advice for Commencement. This is explicitly for parents and families of graduating seniors (P’19s), but our younger classes might want to read as well for future reference. This will be my 18th Commencement, so […]
Many thanks to all the lovely families who came out in the rain last night in Phili for our parent/family reception. It is always great to meet folks in the Daily Deacdom! Registration begins the week of April 1st. Students will select up to 8 […]
