Daily Deac

For those of you with high school students

Happy warm Wednesday, Deac families. We’re close to 60 degrees and sunny today, which certainly makes me feel good. For those of you with younger students at home, today’s Daily Deac is just for you.  First up – the Summer Immersion program: “The Wake […]


Glacier the Campus Wonderdog

Here is a feel-good story for you.  It’s about our Professor and Chair of Communication Allan Louden and his Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, Glacier, aka the Campus Wonderdog.  This comes to us from a website called The Tab and was written by […]


FDOC

It’s FDOC (First Day of Classes), so the semester is officially on with academics.  It’s also the first day of classes and events being held at Wake Downtown.  You can read more about Wake Downtown in this news article.   The Provost’s office also sent […]


Pic of the Day: Not Your Typical College Toga Party

Happy New Year to all our Deac families!  As we wrap up our Winter Break and think about the spring semester starting again, it felt appropriate to find a classroom shot. Wake has hired a number of really dynamic, amazing young faculty members in recent […]

Soccer, Finals, OPCD, Late Night Breakfast

Today is a bittersweet day on campus.  Our Deacs went to the College Cup finals in Houston and they played their hearts out.  The game went to two overtimes and then penalty kicks.  Stanford edged us on the PKs and got the victory.  While I […]


LDOC

Today is LDOC – Last Day of Classes.  Depending on your perspective, this could be a blessed day: *finally* you are finished with some class you needed to take but wasn’t necessarily a great love (I had one of those this semester, so I feel […]


A couple thoughts about spring schedules

While the formal rounds of registration have taken place, students still have the ability to tweak their schedules.  One of the questions I sometimes get from my advisees or other students is “the classes I wanted were full.  What do I do now?” My answer […]
