The faculty opening reception was very pleasant, though I’ll leave describing the event to Laurence at her Kwan Fong Gallery blog, except to briefly report on a meeting with a new student who will come to CLU in Fall. She showed up with her mother at my office on Friday to meet me and talk about what to [...]

Archaeologists spend their time trying to [...]
