Welcome back after the long holiday weekend. Hope that your Thanksgiving was a wonderful one and that everyone was safe, happy, and healthy (the three things my P’92 mom always wishes for our family). We are back to work, though it is all remote now […]


Happy #Deacsgiving

Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and I hope that your family is looking forward to a great – and safe – Thanksgiving. Dr. Hatch sent a message to the campus community this morning. It reads, in part: With your diligence, patience and perseverance, we completed our on-campus […]


And….that’s a wrap (at least for on campus)

Today is the last day of the in-person portion of the semester. Students will be packing up and heading out by 5 pm when the residence halls close. It’s been a semester unlike any other I’ve seen in a 20+ year career, but we DID […]


Rhodes Scholar!!!

Wake received some huge news over the weekend. We have another Rhodes Scholar in our midst: Wake Forest senior Savarni Sanka has been named a Rhodes Scholar. Sanka, who is from Raleigh, N.C., plans to pursue a masters of public policy and masters of science […]

A cooler week ahead

It’s Monday, and I have been dealing with broken internet all day, so this is going to be a quick one, Deac families. At this time of year, there is one thing on students’ minds: Pitsgiving! This is our traditional turkey-and-all-the-fixin’s meal that students can […]


Friday the 13th

It’s Friday the 13th, which normally is a bad omen, but the sun is shining for the first time in days, and it’s the weekend, so I am calling it a victory. Several quick hits for you today: Your students got their Your Corona Chronicle […]
