Today, we turn to the enduring spiritual truths of divine Love, the healing power of prayer, and the light that cannot be extinguished by darkness.
We hold in thought all those affected by September 11 and strive to meet the world with greater love, compassion, and peace.

Somewhere between the first class and the first late night with new friends, campus stopped feeling new. Today, we just said it out loud: welcome home!

The first week of classes means a little bit of everything. Missing assignments. New and exciting classes. First baseball practices. And for some, the start of their very last year of college. We asked our students to call home and tell their families how week one is going. Their conversations say it all: new routines, new experiences, a few things to figure out, and lots to look forward to.

Here's to week one, and everything still to come.

We're walking into the new semester with gratitude for what's been and excitement for what's next.

The Howard Center Dining Room has held countless shared meals, late-night study breaks, and moments that became memories. We're excited to share that we're modernizing Dining Services to better meet the needs of our students today and for years to come. This is more than construction. It's care, intention, and investment in the Principia experience.

Stay tuned as we build something worth the wait.
