Deep. Breaths. For all our new P’19s, there might be some flutters in your stomachs (or more likely your Deacs’ stomachs) as the new students self-register for up to 8 hours of their fall schedules this week. Upperclassmen parents, you probably remember the drill yourselves. […]
Happy Friday, Deac families. Are you wearing your black and gold? If not, make it a habit every Friday to show your WFU spirit! I wanted to send out a message on behalf of our Office of Personal and Career Development. They are sponsoring #7DaysofSummer […]
