The Dean’s In the House, but the Students Are Not

Upon seeing me enter a room, one of our students often says, “The Dean’s in the house.” Well, I am in the OVU house today, but none of our students are here because they’re on Spring Break.  

Logically, I understand why we have Spring Break at this time of the year — it’s mid-point in the semester and everyone needs some time away. However, I think it’s a bummer that Spring Break is early March because you can’t ever tell what the weather is going to be like in WV at this time of the year. Take for instance, yesterday…it was 70 degrees and sunny, but today…it’s 40 degrees and raining and the forecast indicates that the rain will turn to snow tonight and the rest of the week will be cold. So, in sum, we only had one day of “Spring” Break.

Of course, many of you don’t mind, because you’ve sought fairer weather at the beach; or you’re wearing the blue and white in softball, baseball, or golf competitions in the southern United States; or you’re performing mission work in England with Dr. Mike Moss; or you’re spending time with family and friends.

Whatever you’re doing over break, enjoy it. And return to “the house” safe and sound!

Take care!
