Fall ’23 Campus Resources Fair – Monday, Sept. 18 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. on Manchester Plaza (aka Mag Quad). This one might be especially helpful to new students, as it is billed as “Come and learn more about the various Wake Forest Offices and Departments that can help support you through your Wake experience.” – but certainly open to all students of all class years.
Deacs Decide interest meeting – Tuesday, Sept. 19 from 6-7 p.m. Deacs Decide is a highly collaborative campus-wide election engagement project that focuses on voter registration, voter education, voter turnout, and issues at stake in all elections.

The Secrest Artists Series offers free tickets to Wake Forest students. Learn more about how your Deac can get tickets.
That is just a smattering of events. Your Deacs can find other opportunities on The Link.

Strengthening the next generation of Peruvian Amazonian Leaders
This is a really cool story I hope you’ll enjoy:
“Wake Forest hosted young Indigenous leaders from Peruvian Amazon as part of the Connecting Cultures program, co-sponsored by the U.S. State Department. During their visit, the Indigenous leader delegation spent several days on campus meeting with students, staff and faculty, sharing their stories, exchanging ideas and building networks of support.

THANK YOU!
I want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to all our Deac families who chipped in on our Deacs Day of Giving on Tuesday. We exceeded our 3,500 donor goal, which meant we got a $1MM match, for a grand total of $2,730,695 raised from 4,080 Wake Foresters.
I checked with my Deacs Day of Giving sources, and I am told that we did get a good number of parent and family gifts in after 5 p.m. when the Daily Deac went out, and my colleagues saw movement in the career readiness, beautiful campus and student experience challenges.
You did that for us, Deac families. Thank you so much for helping us exceed our goal!
