Better Late than Never
I am back from PTO and have several things to catch up on. In terms of some of the usual suspects:
For P’25s, our Weekly Message for First-Year Families was published on Monday. I write these throughout the summer and schedule them to be posted each week. This week’s message is about health and wellbeing. Our ’25s also got their issue of Letters So Dear on Monday.
In other news:
Wake Forest in the News is out this week, so you can see where Wake Forest faculty and staff are making news.
We will be testing our emergency alert systems on November 2-3.
Resident students received this message about housing for the 2022-23 academic year. For any Early Decision P’26 families in the Daily Deacdom, incoming students in the Class of 2026 (who will start school in August 2022) will have their housing selection process described after May 1, 2022 when the New Students website goes live.
This message was sent to all students living in University-sponsored housing at Deacon Station or Crowne apartments from the Office of Residence Life and Housing. Students living in University-sponsored housing have the option to retain access to their housing for the Winter Break period (December 12 to January 8) for an additional charge, as that time period is outside of their housing contract. For students who do not wish to retain access over the break, they will need to return their keys by 2 pm on December 12th and can move back in January 8th when University housing reopens.
Here’s a few events coming up in the next several days, courtesy of the ZSR Library, University Police, and Student Union:
