WF of the Day

There is WF ironwork all over campus.  It adds a touch of elegance and uniqueness to our campus. When you catch a WF just right, like our intrepid Ken Bennett so often does, you can see something really grand. Like this. — by Betsy Chapman


Green Space of the Day

You’d be hard pressed to find any part of our campus that isn’t beautiful and well tended.  Our grounds are expertly tended and look stunning every season. If your Deac doesn’t regularly take a walk up to Reynolda Gardens and Reynolda Village, encourage him or […]


Theatre of the Day

We have a very talented artistic community on campus, and I have a special heart for our Theatre Deacs.  Today’s Winter Break pic of the day is from this fall’s production of The Importance of Being Earnest. — by Betsy Chapman

Musical Pic of the Day

Winter Break for Everyone

Just like your students, the faculty and staff are happy to have a break after the fall semester.  The University will be closed December 24-31. I’m starting the break a few days early, so from now until New Year’s, the Daily Deac is going to be […]


A Little Something for You

Tis the season for holiday cards and good wishes. If I could, I’d send each of you a card and a heartfelt thank you for being part of our Daily Deac readership. As long as parents and families read and value the Daily Deac, I get to […]
