Registration tips

Many thanks to all the lovely families who came out in the rain last night in Phili for our parent/family reception. It is always great to meet folks in the Daily Deacdom! Registration begins the week of April 1st. Students will select up to 8 […]


Wake N Shake pics

I’m on the road – looking forward to meeting Philadelphia area parents and families tonight, and DC area families on Wednesday. Wake N Shake was this weekend – and we have some great pictures from Ken Bennett to prove it. Enjoy them! Also, an email […]


Wake N Shake

It’s the end of the week, and the big event of the weekend is Wake N Shake, the 12-hour dance marathon that raises money for the Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund. Tons of students are involved, and they have been busy fundraising and also […]


Spring

Update on campus news

During my last Daily Deac before spring break, I ended with this: “We’ll take the week off from the Daily Deac next week, since your students are gone, unless there is some sort of Big News that can’t wait.” As if on cue, there was […]


Spring Break!

Spring Break officially starts about the time the Daily Deac hits your inboxes, but there are no doubt some students who have departed early. I am hopeful that we have good weather on campus next week while the bulk of the students are gone. I […]


Downtown and ISLI

If your students have not discovered downtown Winston-Salem, they should. There are a ton of gems – hidden and public – food and drink, art, green spaces, and more. The area of Wake Downtown and Bailey Power Plant are especially fine places to start exploring. […]
