If yesterday was good, today is great. It’s 70, sunny, gorgeous. The kind of weather my P’92 mom refers to as “warm with gentle breezes.” In other words, perfect. Some of you responded to the pictures I posted yesterday about spring, so I found some more and am tacking on at the end.
Today I want to share a few opportunities here for things your Deacs can engage in. We have a Face to Face speaker series that has two biggies coming up in March and April: one with Former Secretaries of State General Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret.) and Madeleine K. Albright, and the other with Isabel Wilkerson, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Humanities Medal and author of the critically acclaimed New York Times bestsellers The Warmth of Other Suns, and Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents.
The Powell and Albright event is in conjunction with Wake Forest’s Program for Leadership and Character conference, Character and the Professions. Attendees to the conference will also have an opportunity to attend this Face to Face Speaker Forum Preview Event. To learn more about this conference, please visit go.wfu.edu/lcconference.
I have heard General Powell speak at Wake when he gave a Commencement speech in 2004, and he is a force of nature. And The Warmth of Other Suns is one of the best 3 books I have read as an adult. So I hope your Deacs will jump in to these opportunities.
The Learning Assistance Center is doing one of its regular Test Anxiety and Midterms sessions, which I highly recommend to students. This will be held Friday, March 5th at 1:30 pm via Zoom. In this 90 minute workshop, Dr. Friedman will cover tips and strategies for managing test anxiety, a relevant topic to many students.
Enjoy these pics – and remember they were all taken prior to this year (which is why you see no masks).
