Sophomores who applied to the Business School are getting their decisions this week.  This is a highly competitive program, and there is always more demand than supply for spaces in the program. In the event that your student did not make it in to the […]


5 Senses of Scales Fine Arts Center

Today I felt drawn, as if by magic, to Scales Fine Arts Center.  Like there was some weird gravitational pull nudging me in that direction.  Scales is one of my favorite places on campus.  I have been thinking of Scales a lot and have wanted […]


Campus Grounds
