Representing @gmuphil at a recruiting event for high school seniors this weekend. Not usually wild about working on a nice fall weekend day but ran to work & was able to enjoy this weather. Bonus: my new @ZipRunning pack is rad. (For the curious, my runmute is 4 miles each way)

Earlier this month we suffered the sudden loss of Professor Wayne Froman. He taught at Mason for over 37 years and all of us in the philosophy department still find it hard to believe he is gone. We celebrate his life and works here: philosophy.gmu.edu/articles/…
