I'm guessing that half the faculty--maybe a little more than half--have split for the summer. From the distance of a quick drive-through, the school looks vacant and shut down.
The Faculty Room--usually bustling with paperwork, mail and chatter, is cool, empty and dark.
Canada geese arrived at Proctor Pond before final exams. Their soft, green excrement makes the walk past the Math Department a guarded, wary experience.
Yet, signs of human life are everywhere! Students would be stunned to see lunch tables set in wait of diners! What's going on?
Ahhh... "Gordoes," the affectionate nickname we have given Gordon Research conferees. This week, we are hosting 161 organic biological chemists....the best in the world. Here is a sighting, on their way to lunch, past the geese droppings.
This is the same species observed at close proximity, while consuming caffein and sucrose-based food products.
Speaking of food products, the Gordon Research Programs keep both our housekeeping and kitchen staffs gainfully employed throughout the summer.
Other school offices are remarkably busy. None is cranking harder than the Development team. June 30--just days away--is the end of the fiscal year for the annual fund, and we have raised a little more than $960,000 to date....so close to our goal! Here are Kim Hurlbutt and Keith Barrett getting some tech support from Seth Currier.
Anyone feeling the love should make a gift NOW, and help us continue to deliver the Proctor experience!
