The Stage Is Going Up
We’ve been slammed in our office so I have not had a chance to watch the Commencement stage being set, but I am sneaking glimpses via the Quad Cam when I can. So far, so good! Looks like the center section is starting to […]
New and Newsworthy
This past Friday afternoon, we launched the Newstudents.wfu.edu website, which will be the place for the Class of 2019 (and their parents and families) to learn everything they need to know about beginning life at Wake Forest. This site will have information added to […]
This Is Where All the Action Will Be
I would expect within the next few days, they will start work on getting the Quad ready for Commencement. If you are a fan of the Quad Cam, you may want to keep it open in one of your browser tabs or bookmark it […]
LDOF
If LDOC was Last Day of Classes, today is LDOF – Last Day of Finals. The home stretch. Then they’ll have 105 or so days of summer before returning to Wake in the fall. During the time between Commencement for the seniors and Orientation for […]
Dwindling Numbers and Gearing Up for Commencement
It’s finally getting to the “hot” stage in our weather year. We have been around the mid-80s both yesterday and today, as well as sunny. For those students who have already left campus for Post Exams/Beach Week, they must be enjoying some fine weather. The number […]

Reading Day
Reading Day is the day before final exams begin. It’s one day off to prep for the finals to come. Today I was in the center part of campus between 8:20-10:20 am and I could have counted the students I saw on one hand. Not […]
LDOC
LDOC = Last Day of Classes. And it is here, hard as that might be to believe. My good colleagues in the Wellbeing office who spearhead our Thrive efforts are doing their part to help students have manage stress and have a little fun as […]
All the Sunny Spaces
Today is the final Tues-Thurs class of the spring semester. Not a cloud in the sky. Beautiful blue sky, around 65 degrees. Totally perfect. Unless of course you are trying to finish projects and papers and start studying for finals and aren’t outside to enjoy […]
Almost Finals
And you can tell it, too. I was on campus yesterday and spent a few minutes in the library. Lots of students. Lots of low-maintenance clothing (think workout gear). Lots of people with coffee and wearing their ‘hard at work’ faces. Speaking of finals […]
