With the new year comes the Real Deal: ACC basketball games. Tonight at 7 pm it’s Wake vs. Duke, a perennial rivalry. For our Deacs and Deac families, it will be on ESPN U, and there are a number of ways to follow the game […]
Provost’s Best Reads and Movies of 2015
Though faculty and staff are back on campus, we’re still awaiting the early arrivers who will be coming back for sorority recruitment, and campus is pretty calm (and COLD) right now. At the end of 2015, there were many “Best Of” lists – but today […]
