Sign-up now for Spring Session I PEAC Experience!
Welcome to our virtual student lounge! Students and colleagues can post reviews and recommendations of media they are consuming while cooped up, as well as exhibit their isolation-inspired journalism, art, poetry, prose, films, music, and other creative work. The 2nd Floor Commons is also home to our new Community Pods, a virtual cookbook, announcements and many more.
Well, we've finally found out what's on the 2nd floor. Come on up and join the fun. No need for an elevator pass!
Welcome Back!
Welcome Back!
We are so excited to welcome you back to the school year 20-21! This year will be unprecedented as our community and the world face the impacts of multiple pandemics from COVID-19 to racial injustice. We recognize the various emotions that you may be experiencing as we approach our school year. One thing we know for certain is that together as a community we will persevere through the challenges in front of us and allow our Quaker values of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship to guide us.
