Summer Registration is NOW Open

Hi Everyone - I am sending a friendly reminder that summer registration opened today. There are some tremendously valuable electives offered each summer. Given the success of last year's hardiness course and the demand of current students, I am teaching another course on leadership and hardiness. Please visit the following blog if remotely interested, or at least interested to learn about or demystify the concept of hardiness:

Leadership & Hardiness Elective (click on link)

Please email me directly if I can provide any additional information. The course is open to GU student but also non-matriculated students simply interested in taking the course.

WCC Conference Tournament & March Madness

It is that time of the year again where the snow melts - or so we hope - and we retreat to the confines of our dens or offices to view mid-day, all-day tournament games. But before we get there, your Bulldogs need to win the Conference Tournament and be assured a ticket to the "big dance". You can find and root for your Bulldogs this weekend and hopefully Monday at the conference championship. Till then, here are some videos I recorded for you from the audience. The energy is contagious and it is simply fun to watch our Kennel Club support their Zags. ENJOY & GO ZAGS!
