- A fire alarm during our Friday lab sent the students off on their scavenger hunt a bit earlier than expected. But, but with temperatures unseasonably hovering in the 70s, students didn't seem to mind:

- Meghan's photo drew praise from University of Memphis professor Carrie Brown-Smith, the founder and architect of the now-international Twitter Scavenger Hunt, and sparked a discussion:

- Mark's photo of students recruiting for a service house showed SMU's extracurricular opportunities and drew interest from another Canadian student:
- Our weather was envied by students from universities to the north.
- Sure, SMU's pretty, but what about academic excellence? How about some robot action:
