I suspect like many of you, I was shocked and horrified to see the events unfolding in Paris on Friday afternoon. I worried for the French people (I had studied abroad in France while at WFU), but also for our study abroad students – those […]
It’s a sunny Friday – was cold in the morning but now the sun is out and it feels pretty good to let it warm you. Even when the weather gets cold, we have some terrific looking flowerbeds on campus. The flowers and greenery near […]
