LDOC
Today is LDOC (Last Day of Class) for our undergraduates, and that is a thing to celebrate. Your Deacs made it! All that’s left is to turn in the remaining papers or projects, and/or take the finals. In the spirit of “laughter is the best […]
Face to Face Speaker Forum
I nearly forgot to share this with parents and families, because the news broke when I was out of the office. The Face to Face speaker forum, our signature speaker series, has announced its lineup for the 2022-23 academic year: September 14 – George W. […]
Tuesday Newsday
It’s a beautiful day today – sunny, but a bit cooler, low 70s tops (but with the breeze, it feels a bit chilly). Looks like we will hover in the high 60s-low 70s until Monday, when we’ll start hitting the 80s again. Yesterday I mentioned […]

Seen Last Week
Many of you have told me how much you enjoy seeing pictures of things happening on campus. Since I was out last week, I peeked in the photo archives of our master photographer, Ken Bennett, to see what happened while I was gone. There were […]
Back in the Dash!
I am back in the Dash – aka Winston-Salem – and in the week I was gone, Mother Nature has been hard at work. Everything is in full bloom and absolutely gorgeous, though it is colder today than it should be (around 55 degrees). It […]
College Parent/Family Member Roles
