The Secret Life of Wake Forest

Today is Campus Day and there are about 800 families visiting this time.  It’s a bright and sunny day but a bit on the chilly side – saw lots of new families in what appeared to be brand new WFU sweatshirts and jackets during the […]


Earth Day Fair

Today is Earth Day, and the Office of Sustainability has created a wonderful event for your students to enjoy.  The Earth Day Fair will run from 3-7 pm today on the Mag Quad (south side of campus, aka Manchester Quad). Details are below.  It’s a […]


N-S-E-W

A Grande Dame in WFU History

Yesterday the Wake Forest family lost a much-beloved member, Lu Leake.  Lu came to Wake Forest in 1964 as dean of women, and she had held many different titles, including assistant vice president for planning and dean of the summer school, before retiring in 1997 […]


This Past Weekend

It would be hard to have improved on the weekend we just had.  Weatherwise we were in the low- to mid-70s, sunny, light breezes.  Perfect.  Some of our students hit the road for beach weekend, others stayed on campus.  I suspect some of them might […]
