Fall Break
Not surprisingly, it is a very quiet day on campus. None of the normal hustle and bustle on the :50th of each hour as classes change. Parking is a breeze – everything’s empty. Here are the only real signs of activity I have seen in […]
Another Gorgeous Fall Day
It’s another beautiful day in the Forest. Started out cool – around 50 – but now that it is lunchtime and the sun is out, it is quick to warm you if you are just standing around soaking up the rays. This weekend the temperature […]
Upcoming Registration Period
