“OWU is a vibe.” That’s what a student said to me at today’s Admitted Student Day at @ohiowesleyan. A record-setting crowd learned why the liberal arts is a flex and how becoming a Bishop means leveling up. Oh — and how to dodge T-shirts. The momentum is undeniable.

Thanks to many, @OhioWesleyan is reclaiming its historic roots in NYC. OWU has come roaring back (see what I did?), in part by hiring NYC native Anthony Rinaldi (pictured) to cover the region. Watch out, Big Apple—Bishop Nation is back. Come learn more: https://t.co/3n9yEZyPWl.

An interview with @Philanthropy became a reflection on the strong women who shaped my career. From my mom, Donna, to mentors like Saundra Tracy, my sister Dr. Alysia, colleagues like Dr. Karlyn Crowley, and my wife Melissa—I’m grateful for their influence. https://t.co/1KGeEwJfVS

There I was, minding my own business, just munching on acorns on the east side of campus (as one does), when bam – a new friend joins me. Have we named the baby deer yet? Asking for a friend.
