It’s Reading Day – no finals yet, just time to study. But my day has been crazy busy, so just 4 quick hits today. Read on!

Inside Alumni Hall: Renovation progress update

One of my colleagues and I recently took a sneak peek at the progress on Alumni Hall’s renovations. The former office building is well on its way to becoming a dynamic classroom and academic space, with completion planned for this summer. Read more or see the video. (If you look carefully at the end, you can see where I signed the wall saying I used to work in Alumni Hall!)

The TED Talks from this year’s TEDxWakeForestUniversity are now live; executive board applications are due May 3

The TED Talks from this year’s TEDxWakeForestUniversity are now live. This year’s speakers brought a range of perspectives to the stage, including Wake Forest’s own David Yamane, professor of sociology, and first-year student Emilio Morgenstern. Whether you were able to catch the event live or are just now tuning in, we invite you to watch, share, and keep the conversation going.

TEDxWFU executive board applications are live for the 2026-27 year. Interested students should apply here by May 3.

Wake Forest receives $5 million to expand the role of character-based leadership in legal education

Great news hit today: “The grant from the Kern Family Foundation will enable the Wake Forest University School of Law and the Program for Leadership and Character to sustain campus-based initiatives while also paving the way for a network of law schools committed to leadership and character in the law.” Read the full story.

Thank A Teacher

Finally for today, whether you are a student reading this (or the loved one of a student), please keep the Thank A Teacher program in mind and encourage students to submit their thanks.

Each spring, the Thank A Teacher program gives students an opportunity to thank faculty and staff who have made a difference in their education. Students fill out this short online form, and their thanks will be forwarded to the faculty after grades are submitted.

I can’t tell you how much this means to faculty and staff to receive these – so thanks for considering!
