Hey…how ’bout those Deacs?

When I was a student here we had a cheerleader who was the “Mic Man” and he lead the cheerleading squad in chants. One of those was “HEY………….how ’bout those Deacs?” Last night we had a “HEY………….how ’bout those Deacs?” moment because our football team […]


Letters So Dear

One of the lines in the Wake Forest alma mater refers to “Mother, so dear” (inside baseball tip here: until our students learn the whole thing, they might do a lot of mumbling mid-song but the one line they do remember is “Moooooother, so dear.”) We […]


Survey

If you’ve been reading the Daily Deac for some time, you know I am in grad school right now, and part of our curriculum has been about research methods and surveys. Surveys are fantastic…if you get enough people to answer them (so you can have […]


Happy Homecoming

As I write this (midday), it is absolutely beautiful outisde (at least to me). It is gray and overcast, a little breezy, and the leaves are in their full glory. Was driving on Reynolda Road earlier today and it is spectacular. There are trees on […]

Tutoring

Normally after midterms we get an uptick in interest in the Learning Assistance Center and Disability Services, which offers free peer tutoring to students. Because this has been of interest, I asked Laura Denlinger, the Tutor Coordinator in the LAC, to share information about how […]


Project Pumpkin is today!

Around midday today, I saw a male student sitting on the brick wall outside his residence hall entrance…in what looked like a tiger suit…? It took me a minute to register that today is Project Pumpkin, one of the happiest days of the year, and […]


Leaf watch

Another glorious day here, so I took a stroll around campus during a time that was a not-close-to-classes-changing, and I took the route that is the outer perimeter of campus (past North Campus apartments as opposed to the Quad). Despite the great weather, there were […]
