A Beautiful Start to the Week

The weather here has been absolutely glorious.  It is starting to really feel like fall – highs in the mid 70s, sunny, the trees are starting to have a hint of color.  There is virtually nothing to be improved upon.  Hopefully your students are not […]


Art Imitates Life

I was in Reynolda Hall the other day, and one of the things I love the most about our campus is the abundance of art (both student, faculty, and professional artists).  The staff here rotates the art every now and again, so something I might […]


Farrell Hall Grand Opening

Our much-anticipated new business building, Farrell Hall, opened in late summer and has quickly become an important feature on campus.  It has a new dining venue in it, Einstein’s Bagels, and I can tell you from experience that any time there is a new […]


Picture of the Day

One of the greatest events in the WFU year is coming up in just a few weeks: Hit the Bricks.  This is a one-day team race around the Quad to raise money for the Brian Piccolo Cancer Fund.  Brian Piccolo was the subject […]


The Four Senses of Tuesday

Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful day on campus.  It was sunny with a light breeze, low 70s.  Warm if you sat in the sun, cool if you sat in the shade.  The sky was full of very large and puffy white clouds.  It was the […]


Please Be Safe – a Plea from a Former WFU Parent

Over the weekend, someone sent me a copy of this article from the Duke Chronicle, its student newspaper.  It was written by a former Wake Forest parent Linda Oliver Grape (P ’07) about the loss of her son Matthew, who had been a senior at […]
