Senior Orations – Buck Hinman (’16)

It’s the end of a glorious week on campus.  It’s been in the 70s and 80s all week, but to my dismay we’re about to hit a cold and possibly rainy stretch this weekend and early next week. Big, breaking news of the day: there […]


Much To Say – Even More to DO!

You are probably all tiring of the descriptions of the superb weather we are having here, but it bears repeating. It. Is. Glorious. Lots on the docket to talk about today, most of it coming in the vein of ‘items on the WFU smorgasboard’.  Urge […]


Been There, Done That. Tell Us What You Know.

I have the worst case of Spring Fever ever, and I gotta be honest, it is really hard to want to sit in my office and work when I could go outside and enjoy the sunshine and nearly 80 degree weather.  So today’s Daily Deac […]


It’s Almost Unfair How Nice the Weather Is

I went out to lunch today to The Porch (which, if your students have not discovered, they need to. Great tex-mex and the best queso in the city).  It was the first time I had been out of my building today, and the weather is […]


Welcome Back!

Spring Break seemed to go by in a flash for us – did it for you and your Deacs? Happily, they are coming back to a campus where spring has sprung. If you drive in the main entrance off of Silas Creek Parkway and Reynolda […]

Senior Oration – Leah Haynes (’16)

Today’s Senior Oration is entitled “Islands, Trees, and the Self-Directed Life,” by Leah Haynes. —————————– College can make you feel lonely. And so, when you first arrive, there’s a lot of emphasis put on finding your “place” here: clubs, organizations, the student-involvement fair, etc. This is […]


Senior Oration – Tori Tschantz (’16)

Hope you are having a great Spring Break (maybe with your Deac home with you, along with his/her friends?). Since it is quiet on campus, we’re continuing our feature series on Senior Orations.  Today we hear from Tori Tschantz (’16). ——————– It’s 5 o’clock-ish Somewhere […]


Senior Oration – Darius Williams (’16)

During Spring Break, we conclude our coverage of our Senior Orations.  Today we have Pro Humanitate and the Rhetorical Importance of our Interpretation by Darius Williams (’16). —————- Pro Humanitate. For Humanity.  A wondrous motto; a simple phrase. We are privileged, as heirs of Mother So […]
