Greetings!
Happy May!
As it grows quieter on campus, we see the return of the slower spring term pace - and also a few bathing suits and frisbees on the chapel lawn!
Spring term classes have gone internationally to China, Peru, Spain, England, France, Switzerland, Germany, Poland and Austria, as well as hitting domestic sites in New York City, Chicago, Key West and various places around Michigan. It is so rejuvenating to see their excitement over being able to immerse themselves in one class for this month!
As the last week of spring term rolls on, we begin to look forward to the bagpipes and dancers of the Highland Festival. Please do stop by the alumni house on Saturday from 10 a.m. - noon if you attend the festival - we'd love to see you!
Go Scots!
