Checking in to say I am safe after today’s tornado in STL. This tree came down across from my house but other areas were much harder hit

The weather in Seattle could not be better and Seattle U’s campus is in bloom

In Seattle for the annual meeting in my AJCU library dean colleagues. Took a walk around campus this morning

The horrors are happening all around us and it is overwhelming. I took a minute to look at a tree blooming outside my house

Amazing night with Colson Whitehead, the 2025 recipient of the St Louis Literary Award. Arts and Sciences associate dean Katrina Moore was a great interviewer and drew out thoughtful and funny answers

Our banned books week display went up on Friday - bringing attention to what’s happening nationally and in Missouri

Our swag for the upcoming Banned Books Week has arrived!

A great afternoon at our distinctive collections open house. I picked up my passport and am now staffing passport control (tea, hot chocolate, and snacks)

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
