Library construction
I had to go to the library today and it is all full of construction. They are converting one of the all night study rooms (I forget if it is the one on the left or the right immediately upon entering the building) to a full-service Starbucks, and I believe on the other side they are adding restrooms. I have to confess it will be delightful to be able to take a quick walk to ZSR to get the latte of my choice (venti skinny cinnamon dolce latte, if you care to know my favorite!) This should be operational sometime in September I am told.
Campus is filled with visitors, but this time it is not prospective students. In the summers, we lease our space to conferences and other summer camp type activities - some are run through WFU, like the sports camps for kids or our Lifelong Learning classes - and some are from external companies or other schools. In years past, we’ve been the home for an accountancy retreat, some conferences on religious music and hymns, cheer and dance teams (imagine hundreds of ‘tweens’ all squealing with delight at the same time!), a Lego camp, and so on and so on. It’s great to see people who are not ordinarily exposed to Mother So Dear on campus. Hopefully they will send some good students (or faculty, or support) our way.
