Around 4:15 yesterday on the Quad, I noticed a small red thing sitting in the grass, nearly dead center of the Quad. From a distance, it looked like a small statue. Upon closer inspection, it looked a bit like a pinata (with the same kind […]
A few weeks ago, we held an event on campus called the Stewardship Breakfast – where we bring together scholarship recipients with their donors. It’s always a wonderful occasion, very happy – because people can see how the gift they made to Wake Forest impacted […]
We’re halfway through finals, and some of your students may already be home (or coming soon). Others still have work to do, or the beach for Post-Exams. There are signs all over campus outside each residence hall alerting students about what they must do […]
The Graffiti Wall is a tradition during finals week. It’s set up in the atrium of the library, with containers of paint and brushes, and students are encouraged to express themselves and let off a little bit of pre-exam stress. Graffiti runs the […]
