Web gems
The Daily Deac is naturally a little slower in the summer. With most of our students gone for the summer, there is not as much news and campus life to share. Fear not, Deac families! Here are a few hidden gems on our website that […]
Magnolias
During a break in the rain yesterday afternoon, I made a trek over to the North Campus Apartments for a meeting. The magnolia trees outside the building are in full bloom, and they are spectacular. I wish there was such a thing as Smellovision (like television) […]
Summer Session
Huge news this weekend: two of our men’s tennis team went into the finals for individual singles play – so obviously we got the NCAA Championship as well as 2nd place. The team was also invited to visit the White House! What a […]
