Quiet Campus...

Hello-
We have had 2+ weeks of beautiful weather! It had been 60+ degrees and sunny out and we were getting spoiled- and now we're getting the rain we need- perfect!

Just a quick update- All the students are done with classes, summer session has started and the campus is in wrap-up/end of the year mode. I want to say congratulations to our volleyball team as we had a GPA over 3.0 for the spring semester and our cumulative GPA is over 3.0 as well- nice job Cougars! (That being said, there is still room for improvement as a team!)

Have a great week and Go Cougars!

Heather's Car...

Here's a photo of Heather's DEAD car-- (note the anti-freeze leaking from under the car! And it was smoking as well-- not visible in the photo though!). She was recruiting (for softball) in the cities last week when it died-- Luckily the Humphreys, John and Pam, were near by and able to help her out- (Thank you!). Heather did make it safely back to Morris... the car however... did not.

PS~ Sure is quiet on campus without the students!
