More Summer Reading Ideas

The final message of the semester for first-year parents (or any interested parents, really) was about the Summer Reading List and how to be intellectually engaged over the summer.  You can read the initial message here. Lynn Sutton, Dean of the Z. Smith Reynolds […]


Azaleas

Lastnight there were some very strong storms around campus.  The county was on a tornado watch for a couple of hours, and there was strong wind and rain.  This morning, it is still quite windy and overcast.  But as I walked up to the Quad […]


Program on Africans in Business, Business in Africa

Global awareness and education has become a major focus over the past decade at Wake Forest.  The internet and cable news has shrunk the world and our students are eager to learn more about faraway places and how they can become a part of social, […]


The Library Pre-Finals

You can really tell it’s the end of the semester now.  Starbucks was packed this morning at 8:15 am, which normally never happens.  The library is going to be the true hub of campus for the next few days through finals. Our wonderful library staff […]


Glimpses of the Lounge Outside the Mag Room

Pre Commencement Preparations

This is arguably the best time of the year on campus.  Yesterday it was in the low 80s, sunny and beautiful.  There are flowers everywhere – tulips and pansies and phlox – plus flowering trees.  It really is a feast for the eyes. It’s also […]


Ahh, Springtime

When young men’s fancy turns to – egg shells.  Yes, every year about this time, there are dozens of eggs splattered on the Quad.  I don’t know why, it just happens that way.  Must be some sort of student group pulling a prank. So from […]


Events This Week

Happy Monday, Wake Forest parents!  It’s beginning to look like the end of the semester and students are probably thinking about tests and papers and prepping for Post-Exams (Beach Week) and ultimately about coming home for the summer. As it begins to dawn on them […]
