Daily Deac

Pumpkin Painting Contest

It’s going to be a bit of a light week at the Daily Deac because everyone is in mad rush prep for all the events associated with Family Weekend. Here’s something your students might want to do – and it’s a quick turnaround, deadline tomorrow! […]


Fall Break Friday

Happy Fall Break, Deac families!  It’s a beautiful, cool, sunny fall day here on campus.  If your students are here, they were not out and about in the 8-10 am timeframe when I was making my way around campus. As often happens when class is […]


National Day on Writing

Fall Break is tomorrow, and judging by the parking lots some of our students have already headed off someplace special for the long weekend. I was in a meeting today and heard about a project taking place this coming Monday, October 20th – the National […]


A Road with a View

As Family Weekend is approaching, let me recommend one of my favorite fall traditions: viewing the glorious fall leaves on Reynolda Road.  This is something you will want to see when you are here, and you can encourage your students to take a walk or […]


Cheering Up with Deacon Greetings

Today is a better day on campus.  Quite windy but not as beastly rainy and foggy as it has been.  And in times like these – bad weather, midterms, papers, projects, other associated malaise – what your students might want is a bit of cheering […]


Dreary

It was a dreary weekend, particularly yesterday.  And today it is still dreary.  Not necessarily cold, but a near constant mist and you can feel the damp.  There was enough fog this morning that you could hardly see the outline of the spire of Wait […]


A Beautiful Friday

Today is a beautiful day.  Early this morning it was cool enough for it to feel nice and refreshing if you were walking on campus, but not so cool that you needed a jacket.  All across campus, the trees are noticeably changing from all green […]


Red Skies at Night

Most of the time when I’m gathering material for the Daily Deac, it is during normal work hours.  There’s obviously a lot that goes on after hours that I am not here to catch. Thankfully, I have some colleagues who can be my eyes and ears in […]


Various and Sundry Wednesday

Today’s Daily Deac is a little bit of everything.  Stay with us as we meander through various and sundry notes and observations. The weather is perfect today.  Sunny, nearly 80.  You’re warm if you stay in the sun, but you aren’t baking.  A walk across […]


The Dogly Deac

Today was evidently the final day for the Unity and Respect picture on the steps of Wait Chapel.  In each of the four weeks we’ve been doing this photo, more and more folks showed up.  If you follow Wake Forest University on Facebook, you […]
