HHH
It’s technically barely the start of summer but we have already reached the dreaded 3 Hs: Hazy Hot and Humid. No lie, Deac families, it has been oppressively hot here. I have two degrees in English from WFU and I am starting to run out […]
A Little Love for Men’s Soccer
Every now and again I rediscover a little nook and cranny of Wake Forest that I always knew was there, but isn’t necessarily on my day-to-day radar screen. Such it was last week with our men’s soccer team. As with many schools, the coaching staff of […]
One More FYI to Close Out the Week
We’re closing out this week of Daily Deacs with some FYIs you may or may not have known. Sustainability is something we are very proud of at WFU, and there are lots of ways that students can live a greener life while on campus. Did […]
Public Art and Tribble Courtyard
Here’s another FYI for the week. Did you know that between the Benson University Center and Tribble Hall, we have a public art project? It’s a series of human figures made of chain links – a project called Links by Will Garin (’96). […]

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 […]
Family Weekend Registration – Set Your Calendars Now
Family Weekend is several months away – it will be held the weekend of October 2-4, 2015. Family Weekend registration, on the other hand, is only about a month away. Registration will open at 10 am (Eastern) on July 15th at the Family Weekend […]
Smell-O-Vision
Today is a day I wish that the oft-joked Smell-O-Vision technology worked. If it did, I would have taken video of the Magnolia trees on the Mag Quad (aka Manchester Quad), on the south side of campus. The magnolias are all over the Mag […]
