It's a New Year...and it's so QUIET!

Well, I have had a wonderful but busy holiday. It's been full of family, friends, FOOD, fun, FOOD and oh yes, did I mention FOOD?

The staff is all back to work here at SLU, but the faculty and students don't have to be back for a few more days. Consequently, the campus is pretty quiet - the calm before the storm!

I'm sure that the returning students will be feeling just as I do - somewhat glad to get back to the structure of the day to day, but still longing for those few treasured mornings where I could sleep in!

There will be some new students coming to start their careers here at SLU so for them this is a new beginning AND a new year. We will look forward to welcoming them to campus this weekend as they go through the Spring term orientation for new students.

But although I enjoy being back here, it just isn't the same until the heartbeat of the university - our STUDENTS - set foot back on campus. THEN I can really get back to work, with the wonderful noise of Saint Leo all back to normal around me!
