For so many of us, November begins the long procession of holiday celebrations, starting with Thanksgiving. I thought it might be good to reflect on some of the reasons I am thankful for Wake Forest – and maybe some of these reasons will ring true […]
Today is a gorgeous day on campus. We are having one of those late fall warm snaps where it’s 77 and sunny. It is a day where you don’t need a coat, and if you are standing in the sun or hoofing it pretty quickly across […]
After a day that was full of rain yesterday, we have graduated to merely grey and a small chance of rain. If you look out the windows and see trees losing their leaves and grey skies, you might expect it to feel a little colder […]
