These are the most glorious days of the High County autumn. We'll take a breather during the University's upcoming fall break.

We'll dry out this week after record rainfall in the High Country over the past 12 days. We look to our loved ones, friends, and colleagues in South Carolina and other areas of the southeast who experienced far worst, and we send best wishes for quick recovery and opportunities for next great accomplishments. Meanwhile, we enjoy the gorgeous fall weather now upon us as we move toward next week's fall break.
