Through Beginner’s Eyes: A Message from Gage Paine

“August — hot and miserable, when the possibility of a cool evening seems far away and a cold day is just a faint memory. August is really the beginning of the new year for us. It is also the beginning of another fall term, with another group of new students arriving on campus. It is the time of the year when all things are possible.”
