To close out the week

As we close out this week and head into the long Memorial Day weekend, I thought it would be fun to share some pictures from Commencement. And because Memorial Day is to honor those who have fought and died for our country, I wanted to […]


Tall Poppy Syndrome

I’m thinking of our incoming first-year students today. Many of them are graduating from high school this week or next, and they are at the pinnacle of their K-12 success. They know who they are within their school. They have their friend group. They have […]


Two in a Row!

Two days, two NCAA Championships. That’s how we roll at Wake Forest! Yesterday our men’s tennis team won the National Championship. Because it was played in town at the tennis complex over by the football stadium, there were plenty of Demon Deacon faithful there to […]


Kupcho (’19) wins National Championship!

A peek behind the curtain

I will be traveling on business today and Wednesday, so I have pre-posted a couple of Daily Deacs. Today we get a sneak peek to places you don’t often see – in this case, the upper portion of Wait Chapel. There are sometimes tours available […]

First of all, a belated happy Mother’s Day to all our Deac moms, step moms, grandmothers, aunts, and special ladies who are what I colloquially refer to as ‘chosen family’ (as opposed to biological family). For all the wonderful women that have a positive and […]
