Fullbridge is a one week immersion program that offers an opportunity for our young men to fine-tune their skills for the real world.  It’s starts on Monday, August 16, 2015.

Programs such as Fullbrdge match up nicely with the liberal arts…offering a way to take our liberal arts education, top it off with real-world prep, and give our guys a heads up as they compete for opportunities “out there.”

Mason Zurek will be back for his senior year

AXS-TV will again be televising the Monon Bell game in full HD.  The game is scheduled for 1:07 PM on Saturday, November 14, 2015.

Over the past several years, more than 60 different locations have hosted a Monon bell telecast party.  Make plans now to attend a function, if you aren’t making the trip to Greencastle.  You can also help us by setting up a new broadcast party in your neck of the woods.

The Grunge, breaking a 15 year tradition, will be watching in cold and snowy Phoenix, AZ this year…but that’s another story for another time.

Touchdown!

The D3Football Preseason Rankings are in and Wabash shows up at #10.  For those of you who are curious about some prominent opponents, Witt is in at #17 while Hampden-Sydney and DePauw are unranked.

Junior outside linebacker (#28)Ethan Buresh has been selected as a Preseason All American as well.

The entire season starts with our trip to Hamden-Sydney for the second installment of the Gentleman’s Classic on September 5, 2015.  For more details on fan events associated with that game, click here.

One of the many benes of being a fighter pilot is you get to remain “youthful” for the entire time.  So, in a number of ways, I fit right in!  Let’s just leave it at that.

Well, Grunge will morph into GaBunge tomorrow and pack up and head for Dover, England.  The Runge team is cruising the Baltic on the recently-renovated Disney Magic.

It’s a vacation we’ve been planning and saving for since last summer.  You’ll be able to help make the trip happen – I’ll be selling Wabash pencils at the corner of Grant and Wabash for at least a year!!!

So, I’m hoping to check back in with you now 10 faithful readers when I return.  Until then…here’s to flying…and sailing…safe.

Amen!

The Class of 2005 had an incredible turnout at the Big Bash – 55 class members signed in.  The Grunge thought the record set by the Class of 1996 back in 2006 – 40 alumni returning – would stand for a long time.  Not so.

Key ingredients – blindingly simple.  Strong leadership, active living unit representatives, and constant communication.  No rocket science involved but activity definitely required.

There was a little back and forth with the Class of 1985 on the bench painting but ’05 did, in fact, rule!

There’s another reunion lesson here – beautifully done by the class.  Despite the fact that they are only 32 years old, they’ve already lost classmates.  Tony Lobdell and Ken Rudolph are mentioned on the bench.  You’re never too young or too busy to spend a little time getting back together with the guys you shared Wabash with in your Golden Age.  We all have an expiration date but none of us know when that will be.  Don’t leave a reunion on the table…

Trustee Jim Davlin ’85 recently hosted some of Wabash’s senior leaders for a day at his local golf club.  In this case, it was the Oakland Hills Country Club in Michigan.  Joining Jim (third for the right) were Dean of Students Mike Raters ’85 (second from left) and CFO Larry Griffith (to Mike’s left.)  Also playing that day was our newest Dean, Alan Hill.  (That’s Alan with the driver.)  Alan becomes our first dean for Professional Development on July 1.

As you can tell for the smiles, it was a fun day for all.
