We Are Almost There – 178 to Go

Today is the last working day of the University’s fiscal year, and we are so, so, so close to reaching our goal for parent and family support of the Parents’ Campaign of the Wake Forest Fund.  Right now we need 178 more gifts to get […]


8 a.m. View of Campus

Today’s Daily Deac is giving you a glimpse of some of the campus around 8 am. As you drive onto the north part of campus near Polo Road, it’s hard not to notice all the construction.  The entry drive dead ends into the building site […]


Casa Artom and La Biennale

One of the jewels in Wake Forest’s crown is Casa Artom, our residential study abroad house in Venice.  It is a former consulate and is located on the Grand Canal right next to the Guggenheim museum.  Decades of Wake Forest students have spent the […]

That Was Some Storm

For those of you following along on Facebook or the Parents’ Page this past Thursday, we had a heck of a storm come through campus.  It was not a tornado, and no one was injured, but it has caused a mess for the city of […]


Taking a Look at South Hall

For a lot of our first-year families (and students), one of the big anticipatory moments is which residence hall will their students be assigned to live in this fall.  All of our first-year students live on the south side of campus, and there are deliberate […]
