Update on Family Weekend

For all the families who are wondering about the status of Family Weekend this weekend because of Hurricane Michael, we have a statement for you.  The short version is this: Family Weekend Weather Update: Wake Forest officials are closely monitoring Hurricane Matthew and its progress in […]


Happy Tuesday!

Meant to post this yesterday and somehow got it stuck in the “draft” stage – sorry about that, Deac families.  Yesterday was a glorious one.  It was sunny and warm (about 80).  When I was up on the Quad yesterday, I saw not one but two admissions tour groups, […]


A Peek Behind the Curtain

For those of you who have been reading the Daily Deac for a long time, you know I snapped a bunch of shots of the exterior of Reynolds Gym this summer as it goes through its renovation.  Today I took a look in our photo […]


One More Week

One more week to go and then I hope to see many of you on campus for Family Weekend!  I wish the fall leaves were a little more colorful – here’s to hoping for some nice reds, golds, and oranges before you arrive.

As I said on Facebook last night, it is a sad, sad day in Deacland. Arnold Palmer, perhaps the most famous Wake Forest alumnus, passed away yesterday at age 87.  Judging by the reaction of my Wake friends on social media, Mr. Palmer was universally […]


The Farrell 15

Happy Black and Gold Friday to all our Deac families. It’s a beautiful day today – started out overcast and a little cooler, now the sun is out and it is nice and warm. I had a meeting earlier today in Farrell Hall and had […]


A Message from President Nathan Hatch

This afternoon is Arrive and Thrive from 4-6 pm on the Mag Quad (aka Manchester Plaza). Hope to see your students there. Today doesn’t feel like a day for a normal blog, so I will simply share this message from Dr. Hatch, which went to […]


Character Day Tomorrow

Wake is one of thousands of organizations worldwide who will be participating in the annual Character Day tomorrow.  No, it isn’t about dressing up as your favorite character – it is an effort to raise awareness about character development and character strengths.  Character strengths, as defined […]
