ZSR Atrium
As we continue some of my FYIs during my time out of the office, today’s FYI is the new look and feel of the ZSR Library Atrium. Last week I had an opportunity to check out the new digs. There is new furniture there – […]
Time to Talk About Emergency Preparedness
As I continue my work on the West Coast, today’s FYI and subject for both parents and students to consider reading and talking about is emergency preparedness. This is one of those topics that few people want to think about or talk about, because it can […]
“College Is Not a Commodity”
A couple of Wake Forest parents sent me a link to this article last week. There’s a lot of good food for thought in here. Might be worth reading – maybe sharing with your Deac too – and talking about over the dinner table, during a […]
Wrapping Up a Big Week
It’s the end of a pretty big week here, Deac families. I haven’t seen the final tally on the 52 hours of giving in the Wake Forest Fund Double Down challenge, but I know it was over $500,000 (funded in part by a really nice match from […]

Dr. Hatch Recognized with Two Awards
Happy Black and Gold Friday, Deac families! As you prepare for what I hope will be a good weekend (and I am en route back to Mother So Dear from Boston), I thought I would share some updates from campus. Our president, Nathan O. Hatch, has been […]
Stop, Drop, and Roll
The first of our New Student Receptions is tonight in Weston, MA, a Boston suburb. I’ll be there to help staff that event, so am doing a little pre-blogging for the time I’ll be traveling. On the Newstudents.wfu.edu website, we have a section called
