Campus feels a lot emptier with the majority of our students home for the summer. But it does open up some great opportunities to get pictures of campus where you can really see the buildings and other architectural elements. Here are some shots that Ken Bennett recently took.

A circle of chairs stands ready for students to gather, on Manchester Plaza early on the morning of Wednesday, May 26, 2021. An early morning summer view of Kitchin Residence, on the campus of Wake Forest University, Wednesday, May 26, 2021. A Demon Deacon banner with a cloth mask hangs on Hearn Plaza in front of Wait Chapel, on the campus of Wake Forest University, Wednesday, May 26, 2021.

Tribble Hall, on the campus of Wake Forest University, Wednesday, May 26, 2021.

Fireside on Manchester (with all the Adirondack chairs) is a really great space – sort of an outdoor living room. And while it is getting hotter here, it is not yet so hot that you can’t enjoy sitting in them. Certainly at twilight, they would be an ideal spot. And I love those green bistro chairs and tables like I love few things on campus. They are perfect for a quick sit – to read a chapter of a book, to eat lunch al fresco, to have coffee with a friend. The last picture here is of Tribble Hall – famous (certainly when I was a student, maybe still today) for its labyrinth-like construction and resulting ability for students to get lost in it. Tribble has 3 wings (A, B, and C) – which are now conveniently marked for students, but wasn’t during my time. Tribble is also built on a slight hill, so on one side of the building you enter on the ground floor, whereas on the other side you enter a level up. Which is confusing even to the smartest students 🙂

Speaking of Tribble, some of you might have caught dear old Wake Forest showing up on the TV show Jeopardy! several nights ago. You can read about it in the Winston-Salem Journal.

Finally today, President Hatch sent an update to the campus community about the pause in the renaming of Wingate Hall; the message introduces the advisory committee members working on this issue and reiterates the committee’s charge. You can read it here.
