Proud Dean of Students at Boston University

A creative treat with cool artwork (just off of Comm Ave). Different take on the story of Little Red Riding Hood.  According to Tomas Nilsson, the creator, this was made in response to a class assignment.  (CAUTION — as is the story of Little Red Riding Hood, could be a bit disturbing and distressing for […]

What’s Up with Tickets to the Frozen Four?

Talk about a hot ticket! There are a limited number of student tickets available to the Frozen Four in Washington, D.C. So, to try to be fair about it, we’ll be holding a raffle — “winners” will get a chance to purchase one ticket. (Lots of coin for the tickets — 177 bills — ouch!) […]

Coffee & Conversation – Yipes! Is Baseball a Sport?

I see great things in baseball. It’s our game–the American game. It will take our people out of doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us. Conventional wisdom attributes that statement to Walt […]

Free Flow Friday – A Few Thoughts

No Coffee and Conversation session this afternoon, but we should still chat with each other. A couple of quick discussion points. Former Vice President Dick Cheney talking a little trash, but is he right? Compared to the previous one, as the current administration made America less safe? Embedded video from <a href=”http://www.cnn.com/video” mce_href=”http://www.cnn.com/video”>CNN Video</a>   […]

Today, It’s About Terrier Hoops!

Check out this guest post we received from BU Women’s Hoops Coach, Kelly Greenberg: I would like to thank Dean Elmore for giving me this opportunity to tell you about my outstanding women’s basketball team.  This season, I have had the great opportunity to coach this team of hard-working and dedicated student-athletes. They have surpassed […]

Quick Trip to South Carolina

Been off Comm Ave and off the grid for a few days. Was in a small town in South Carolina where my connections to a cell hook-up were scarce and any connection to the internet did not exist. At best, I could catch a cable signal in the local supermarket for a news, business, and […]

Spring Break – Enjoy and Stay Safe

As you leave for a well-deserved spring break, make your personal safety a priority.  You know there are too many jerks, knuckleheads, and otherwise bad folks out there who make a living trying to jack trusting, fun-loving college students. Have a great time, and stay safe. The world changes, whether we want it to or […]
