Voices of Our Time: Krista Tippett

This came across my inbox and I wanted to share it. Another wonderful opportunity for our students to probe some of Life’s Big Questions is coming via a Voices of Our Time speaker: Krista Tippett will be here on Thursday evening at 6 pm […]


News from around the campus

Our Office of Sustainability sent me this information for our November e-newsletter (which should go out later this week), but I thought it might be helpful to get this out to the Daily Deacdom as soon as possible: “Is your student headed home for the […]


Veterans Day

Today, the Daily Deac is not about campus per se.  Today is the day that many businesses observe Veterans Day, so it is a day of remembrance and gratitude for all who have served our country. Many thanks to all our Deac parents and families […]

If you’ve been reading the Daily Deac for some time, you know I am in grad school right now, and part of our curriculum has been about research methods and surveys. Surveys are fantastic…if you get enough people to answer them (so you can have […]


Happy Homecoming

As I write this (midday), it is absolutely beautiful outisde (at least to me). It is gray and overcast, a little breezy, and the leaves are in their full glory. Was driving on Reynolda Road earlier today and it is spectacular. There are trees on […]


Native American Heritage Week

We haven’t called for “Where In the World Are Wake Foresters?” pictures in a while – so feels like a good time to do it. If you have a picture of yourself/your Deac in WFU attire – whether that is on vacation, volunteering, or at […]
