A Great Time in Sewanee, TN
Angela and I just returned from a few days spent visiting our friends at Sewanee: The University of the South. This was our second trip to Sewanee, the first being for our initial discovery sessions for a previous project for the Sewanee Environmental Institute, which is soon to launch. We’re now beginning concurrent new website projects for their University Relations and Associated Alumni departments.
The University of the South has perhaps the most beautiful campus of any U.S. university. Sitting atop and on the edge of the Cumberland Plateau, it is entirely embraced by a wooded wonderland that, along with the university’s amazing architecture, creates a stunning visual experience. We always joke that walking around campus gives you the feeling that you’re at Hogwarts. ;-)
We had a wonderful time there working with the department heads, not to mention soaking up the great hospitality the Sewanee folks extended to us. I was even invited along on an early morning bike ride down, around, and up the mountain. All in all, this was an amazing experience and we can’t wait to go back. I want to make special mention of the staff of the Office of Marketing and Communications, who went far out of their way to make ours an especially pleasant visit. Mark, John, Buck, Laurie, Susan, and Jan–you guys rock.

I love this campus and it’s my first choice.
Such an interesting article, I enjoyed a lot. On a side note I reside in California. I want to gift wine to my girl on her birthday. She loves wine like anything especially Red wine. I heard about wine clubs . They offer a wide variety of gifts for wine lovers to suit all tastes and all budgets. So any opinion about them is greatly appreciated.
