Skeleton on the Quad
Ok, it’s not a real skeleton, but rather the skeleton of the giant Commencement tent that is going up. The metal frame for the top of the tent has already been assembled and is sitting on the north end of the Quad. If I get self indulgent for a minute, it seems a bit like some sort of archeological discovery - like you’ve stumbled across the unearthed remains of a large, geometrically shaped dinosaur, maybe of the Tentasaurus Rex species : ) The outer shell of the tent won’t likely go up until next week, when they also put the “legs” on it so it can stand. So much of this depends on weather forecast - will there be rain? will there be wind? - so you can not erect the thing too soon.
Another big event is coming up for us this Thursday - All Access Greensboro will be held at 6:30 p.m. at The Empire Room. We are going to have the Provost, Jill Tiefenthaler, there, as well as Coach Gaudio of the basketball team and our current student Trustee, Carolyn Harbaugh.
