The halfway mark of the semester brings its familiar mix of academic deadlines across campus. It also brings the kind of shared moments of fun that make W&M such a vibrant community. Last week, I had the pleasure of joining our wonderful colleagues at the Reves Center for their annual pumpkin carving contest (be sure to keep an eye on their calendar for more special events on the horizon). As you can see, I also had a hair-raising good time at Prof. Mordijck’s Fall Tack Faculty Lecture, an evening that reminded us all in the audience just how inspiring and engaging our faculty are.
And speaking of W&M fun, I hope you’ll take a moment to cheer on our colleagues during tomorrow’s 2025 Raft Debate, one of our most entertaining intellectual traditions.
