Pic of the Day: Music

As we continue our winter break feature of Pics of the Day, today we are featuring some spontaneous music making on campus.  Music is a remarkable additive to campus life – whether that is a student playing the piano on the Quad or in the […]


Pic of the Day: Undergraduate Research Fair

I loved this shot of the Undergraduate Research Fair. One of the many things that makes Wake Forest unique is our commitment to undergraduate teaching.  Students can work on research projects with their faculty members – something that at other universities might not happen unless […]


Pic of the Day: the Wacky Lap

Hope your Deacs are getting lots of rest and relaxation during the break! Hit the Bricks, held every fall to raise money for the Brian Piccolo Cancer Fund, is an amazing campus tradition. During the day-long relay, teams have the opportunity to dress in costume […]


Pic of the Day: the sky

Today’s Daily Deac offers some advice for parents of female students who will be participating in the sorority recruitment process (formerly called “rush”) the first week of January.  The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life did a webinar about the recruitment process (for both men […]


What it’s like when your Deacs aren’t here

When 3,000-4,000 people who’d been here a few days ago suddenly are all gone, it is noticeable. Campus is very still, and very quiet. The stillness manifests in the student parking lots (empty but for a parked few cars), the sidewalks (no one on their […]


A peek behind the curtain

Yesterday I was fortunate to receive an email from an intrepid Daily Deac reader with a picture taken by her Deac.  This is a picture of the Farrell Hall Living Room at 2:02 am, when senior Colton Bina (’17) realized he was the last […]
