Where In The World Is Gay?

As you might have guessed, I’m in Europe. After the greater part of a week in Rome, a few days ago I was in Pisa, and now in Barcelona after a stop in Marseille. It’s often said that the planning and anticipation are the best parts of travel. I had a great time planning, but the trip has been terrific so far.


The same is true for the fall semester. The anticipation is great, but the classes are terrific. Our catalogue has gone to print. You’ll be receiving your copy any day. Take time to sign up. There are some excellent new offerings as well as many old favorites. We’re looking forward to receiving your registration!
