For me, many beautiful memories revolve around days spent twirling around to all sorts of music. Whether it was Jimi Hendrix, The Doors or Elvis Presley, I grew up with a vast array of sounds and excitement. I knew all the words to “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” at a very early age.
I even went through a phase where I adored nothing but Nirvana and gazing at a Kool Aid hair-soaked Kurt Cobain.

Now that we’ve gotten our fair share of the snow here in the Golden Triangle, it’s time for us to start putting together our transition outfits for the spring!
It can be quite a task when you are getting ready in the morning and it’s super chilly outside, then near noon it starts to heat up! I’m going to show you a few ways to put together some very trendy outfits and still be comfortable no matter what it feels like outside.

Dr. Nora Corrigan has been at MUW since 2008. Although MUW is a small college, Corrigan says that is one of her favorite things about teaching here. MUW’s strong sense of community is what she loves most about this school. Having a more personal relationship with students and colleagues has led Corrigan to be pro-active in more projects outside of the classroom, with her favorite being a study abroad program in Ireland for the summer of 2014.

With any historic place, there are going to be upgrades. Recently, MUW decided to renovate Fant Memorial Library. Construction on that building is coming along smoothly. Now, MUW is continuing with campus renovations. This time the renovations will take place primarily in the residential buildings. These renovations will begin this semester, but one phase, the green space behind Kincannon and Jones Halls, began construction last semester.
