There was a good deal of activity on campus this past weekend.  There was Spring Family Weekend, the TEDx conference, opening of City of Angels at the University Theatre – a lot of incredible choices for how to spend your time.  There was also a […]


Procrastination Blockers

Last week, my colleagues from the Office of Academic Advising and the Learning Assistance Center sent this information to the Parent Programs office.  I think it is a truth universally acknowledged that between students’ cell phones, laptops, and iPads, they literally have the entire planet […]

Words Awake!

I was at a meeting this past week with one of my favorite Wake Forest faculty members, Tom Phillips (read his “Meet a Deac” profile).  He is working on a fantastic new initiative on campus, Words Awake!, a conference celebrating Wake Forest […]
