Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and I hope that your family is looking forward to a great – and safe – Thanksgiving. Dr. Hatch sent a message to the campus community this morning. It reads, in part:
With your diligence, patience and perseverance, we completed our on-campus portion of the semester. Our resolve to do what was necessary to remain on campus and our resilience when conditions forced us to adapt our plans is a testament to the character of this community.
Thank you for all you have done to help keep our campus healthy and safe. When we started in August, we had faith that this community would rise to meet the challenges before us. Together, we did.
We know Thanksgiving is going to look very different this year. Since families can’t necessarily be all together as they would in a normal year, I suspect there will be a lot of Zooms and FaceTimes and pictures posted to social media. We’d love to see what our Deac families are doing, so please join in the fun using the hashtags #WFU and #Deacsgiving on your posts.
And if you want to set your Thanksgiving Zoom background to a Wake Forest locale, here are a number of pictures you can download of some of our dining establishments, banquets, and Call to Conversation events.
Wake is closed Thursday and Friday, but will still be caring for any students still in quarantine or isolation at the hotel (in the unlikely event you have a student emergency that cannot wait until Monday, please see our After Hours page.). We’ll be back to blogging on Monday.
May you and yours have a safe, healthy, and happy Thanksgiving!
