Friday at Farrell
Thought it might be fun to take a stroll over to Farrell Hall on this cool and sunny Friday and see what it was like midday. Here are some observations in the “five senses” model. I smell [I had to make smell first, because it […]
Video of the Dignity and Respect Event Yesterday
We had a big event on campus yesterday. Renowned poet and professor Maya Angelou, our beloved provost emeritus and professor of English Ed Wilson (’43) (a.k.a. “Mr. Wake Forest”) and Dr. Johnnetta Cole spoke at a Dignity and Respect event. This was held in Brendle […]
You Can Have It All
You know the old saying “you can’t have it all”? Well, for today at least we are saying you can, in fact, have it all! What I mean by this is that we have formally concluded our ZSRx Parents and Families: Deacon Development 101 online […]
Stories to Share
This week has been a chilly one. This morning as I drove onto campus, I saw many students walking to classes in their North Face fleece jackets, backpacks or messenger bags slung over their shoulders. It’s a grey day, and quite cool (37 at 7 […]
No One Is Perfect
Happy Monday, Deac families. Impossible as this is to believe, it is somehow November. Your students have a scant 5-6 weeks of school left, and then they will return to you for the winter break. I saw something this weekend via Facebook that made me […]

Dignity and Respect Campaign Plus Maya Angelou
As you may have read in an earlier Daily Deac, October is Dignity and Respect month on campus, and we have been urging all members of our campus community to make a conscious effort to treat everyone, even (or perhaps especially) folks with whom […]
Your Students Need to Go Outside Right Now
No, there is no emergency. But yes, your students need to go outside right now. Because this may well be the prettiest day we have had thus far this fall, and it would be a crying shame not to get out and enjoy it, even […]
8:16 am Starbucks on a Monday
For this morning’s Daily Deac, we’re all about observation. It’s 8:16 am in Starbucks on a Monday morning and I am waiting for a meeting to start, so I am putting on my people watching hat. I think it’s safe to say that as a […]
