Today is the 225th birthday of the founder of Wake Forest, Samuel Wait. One of my intrepid colleagues in our Communications and External Relations department did some research and found these fun facts in honor of his 225th birthday. We even have a […]
USA Today ran a piece a few days ago called “4 Beloved Campus Christmas Traditions,” and in a surprise to no one here on campus, our Lovefeast was listed in the #1 spot. If you have attended one (in person or via […]
