Happy Friday, Deac families! Today is going to be a photofilled day, with a reminder to buy your Family Weekend football tickets if you haven’t already.
What does learning look like?
When I was a Wake Forest student (back in the late 80s-early 90s), most of my classes tended to be lecture-based; some were discussion heavy too. But classes today have a wide range of activities, and seem (to me at least) to be a lot more interactive and engaging. There are also greater opportunities for students to get involved in research with their faculty.
What does learning look like at Wake Forest? I took a look in our photo archives at various classes, labs, and research, which you can see below. While there are still surely some lecture-based classes, there are a lot more discussions, small group work, hands-on learning/doing, research, and collaboration, both indoors and out!
These pictures are just a smattering – not the full range of learning opportunities your Deacs might experience (and we can’t promise every dancer that Debbie Allen will be your teacher!). But I thought it might be fun to give you a glimpse into how we learn, and how we teach. Enjoy!
Reminder to buy Family Weekend football tickets
We’re still a few weeks away from registration for Family Weekend events opening (on July 10), but Deac families can already start making plans by buying tickets to the Family Weekend football game here.
You’ll want to talk to your Deac about whether they want to sit with you during the game (if so, you will need to buy them a ticket with you). If they want to sit with other students, your Deac can get a free ticket to sit in the students’ football section with the Screamin’ Demon Rewards App (ticket claims open at noon the Monday before the game: Sept. 23 at noon ET).
I am told there are still premium options for season ticket sales and that there is a waitlist for premium packages for Family Weekend. For inquiries or more details, please call the Wake Forest Ticket Office at 336.758.3322 ext 1 or complete this form to be contacted.
Have a great weekend, Deac families!
