It’s Your Turn!
Today instead of sharing things from campus in the Daily Deac, I want to give you the opportunity to provide some feedback on the blog. This is a short form about the blog. 9 questions: 3 opportunities to tell me what you want to […]
D.E.S.K.
I wish there was a Poteat Field Cam today because the D.E.S.K. service project is happening this afternoon. On my way back from a meeting, I walked across Poteat Field to see a ton of desks being painted white in preparation for a […]
Some sad news from campus
There is some sad news to report from campus about the passing of a legendary alumnus, Porter Byrum (JD ’42). He was a graduate of our law school and one of the most devoted Wake Foresters ever. He was also Wake Forest’s largest benefactor, a […]
It Is Virtually Impossible to Work

So Much To Do!
Today started out quite cool – in the 30s – but is approaching 60s as the afternoon progresses. It’s the kind of day where you have to leave your residence hall with a coat or a sweatshirt but you can shed it once it warms […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Even though it is St. Patrick’s Day, it is still Black and Gold Friday, and I’m representing! Hope you are too. Was out West traveling on business all week – and many thanks to all the West Coast Deac families who were so kind during […]
