NOTE: our Wake Parents and Families e-newsletters went out today with an error. Classes resume on January 14th, not January 17th. We apologize for the error. Sometime before the snowstorm hit, I wrote a post about career discernment for Wake students in regards to externship […]
Well, we’re back to business: campus is operating on normal schedule today. And hats off to Facilities, they have done a remarkable job in dealing with 14 inches of snow. The sidewalks and roads are clear and have salt to keep from freezing. I walked […]
UPDATE 4:49 pm – Wake will be open on regular schedule on Weds. Details: https://parents.wfu.edu/family-news/wake-forest-will-be-open-and-operate-on-regular-schedule-wednesday/ As I am sure you know from your students, classes were canceled for today.

On Sunday evening, a message was sent out to students, faculty, and staff (and a similar version sent to parents and families) about an unsubstantiated security threat that is being investigated (read it here: https://parents.wfu.edu/family-news/increased-security-presence-on-campus/).

I was a diener (rhymes with ‘wiener’ – which is a server) at the early Lovefeast, so I had a bird’s eye view to all the action. The evening Lovefeast was very similar (it was a little longer, with fewer sounds of young children). You […]
