For our alumni families
It was a chilly morning on campus – a brisk 35 degrees, and the first freeze warning of the season. Temps are going to be up tomorrow, then sliding down gradually the rest of the week, with a predicted high of only 47 on […]
Sunrise, sunset
Happy Friday to the Daily Deacdom! Hope you have a smooth end to your week and a wonderful weekend ahead of you. Seems like with the cooler weather, we have had some spectacular sunrises and sunsets this week. While it is probably highly unlikely that […]
Events miscellany
Tonight there is a Secrest Artist Series event – Jenny Lin, pianist, will be performing at 7:30 pm in Brendle Recital Hall. Once again this is a situation where I’d ask how many times in the future will your students have access to free, […]
Five Senses of Noon Class Change

Thoughts about registration
Happy Monday, Deac families. It was a hot weekend – feels way too hot to be October – but it looks like we will have some cooler weather coming in the next two weeks: high 70s, then mid-70s, then mid-60s. Fall is such a beautiful […]
Shipping and Mailing to Campus
Happy Friday, Deac families. Hope your Deacs enjoyed the [beastly hot and sweaty] Hit the Bricks yesterday! Fall Break is next Thursday and Friday (Oct. 11-12). An important consideration for Deacs staying on campus is the Fall Break Dining Hours of operation. Dining schedules […]
Meet a Deac – Allison McWilliams (’95)
Hit the Bricks is today, and I would urge you to see if you can catch any of the action on the Quad Cam. the trees are big enough that it obscures a lot, but you might catch the runners as they pass across […]
