Last night was a sweet treat.

The kids had an absolute blast — and we think the trick-or-treaters had fun, too. We could see on our students' faces how good it felt to help bring some joy to our city and home. Thanks to everyone who helped make the campus event such a success.

@DrMarkLTizzoni and @LynchMedieval are just back from a fascinating trip to Tunisia... with lots of photos! Here's El Koubba Mosque in the Medina of Tunis, dating to the 11th century and where Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) likely attended school.
