Umm I don't think you're old enough to be in the bar little one!!

On serious note, please be respectful of our local deer friends on campus! There are babies on the green and mama deer are very protective. We think this little one got scared off the green today and ran towards Union Street! Couldn't catch her and she ran back towards the green (hopefully avoiding cars)! If you see a baby deer, leave it alone! 💚🤍💚🤍
