Hurricane Irene is making its way up the East Coast: supposed to hit the DelawareValley on Sat. night with plenty of winds and rain; already La Salle officials are meeting to implement emergency plans, strategies, etc.
Yesterday was freshmen move-in day and for the first time in my 14 years here it rained! The picnic was moved indoors and lines were long, but students and their parents were incredibly patient. Channel 29 showed up early but by 10ish no other stations had showed up to film the scene; I thought they were all down the shore on hurricane alert; turns out Channel 6 showed up and aired a report. I guess they swung by on their way back from the Jersey coast.
Freshmen convocation featured SGA president Amy Esselman addressing the fresh and parents (she was great) and alum Frank Cervone talking about the "Essential Question" that all freshmen must read/study/write. He finished brilliantly.
Today is sunny and warm: the literal calm behind the storm.
