Today is shaping up to be a beautiful day: sunny and certainly much warmer. The trees and flowers are blooming and campus is so, so pretty. I hope all our Deacs will take advantage of our beautiful campus and its many green spaces and spend some time outside in the coming days. It’s too nice not to!
Here are a few things that I hope might be of interest (scroll past any that are not).
Summer Business Course Offerings
As students look to potential summer school classes, I wanted to mention a couple of Business Courses that are open to students who want to learn more about marketing and consumer behavior. Here is a description from the faculty member, Kenny Herbst, Associate Dean of the Undergraduate Business Program and Board of Visitors Fellow in Marketing:
“With *Summer ’26 registration now open, I wanted to share details on 2 online business courses that I will be offering. Both are 50% asynchronous (with flexibility), and — importantly — *both courses may count toward the new Business Minor* (available in Fall 2026).
These 2 online courses will be at *8:00AM,* a time that has worked well for summer students who are balancing summer internships, travel, games, and/or training.
Summer Course Offerings:
- Summer I: Principles of Marketing (BEM 221) – Online @ 8:00 AM.
- Summer II: Consumer Behavior (BEM 325) – Online @ 8:00 AM.
Key Enrollment Details:
- Business Minor: Both online summer business courses may satisfy requirements for the new Business Minor.
- No Prerequisites: For these two online summer business courses, you do not need ACC 111/ECN 150 to take BEM 221, and you do not need BEM 221 to take BEM 325.
- How to Register: Simply email Troy Burnett (burnett@wfu.edu) to be added to one or both of these online summer business courses.
You will learn a lot, and we will have fun doing it! : ) “
Wakeville Arts Festival – Sat. 3/21
For students looking for something fun to do on Saturday, the Wakeville Arts Festival is happening:
“Wakeville Presents: Arts Festival “Self Love” on Saturday, March 21. Wakeville is a student-led, interdisciplinary arts festival with a focus on sustainability. There will be many creative offerings in and around Scales Fine Arts Center and Davis Field, including music, dance, theater, visual art, film, comedy and more.”
Students can apply for CLAC (Campus Life Advisory Committee)
This ran in our WFU Should Know student e-newsletter today, and I thought it might be of interest to the Daily Deacdom
“Interested in shaping the Wake Forest experience? The Campus Life Advisory Council (CLAC) is a unique opportunity for students to connect directly with senior leadership, share their perspectives, and help enhance the Wake Forest experience for all. CLAC members serve as an advisory board to Vice President for Campus Life Shea Kidd Brown, and positions are especially open to students who may not already hold leadership roles. If you’re passionate about making a difference, apply by April 6.”
Many thanks to all of you for considering a gift during Deacs Day of Giving. And remember, if you are trying to win the Mom & Pop Challenge, please give using this special link and try to time it so you can be the first gift after 7 p.m. We are grateful for every gift – size does not matter!
