Paying It Forward

Today’s Daily Deac blog was written by David Cox (’11) Do you remember how pristine the campus looked when you moved your child into their freshmen dorm on move-in day? There was not a single blade of grass out of place, all cut within […]


The Morning Report

The report from the northeast side of campus this morning is that it is cool.  High today is only supposed to be in the low 50s, and it is going to be windy.  There are puffy cotton ball clouds in the sky and they are […]


Before the Year Comes to a Close

I looked at the Deacademics blog yesterday and they have a ticker that shows how many days of classes are left.  Yesterday it was 13, which seems hard to believe.  This semester has sped by. Because time is running out, and the weekend is […]

Some Fun for Friday the 13th

If you have been to campus lately, you will see the steel skeleton of Farrell Hall rising nicely on the northeast part of campus, behind the chapel.  It is coming along at a good pace, and this Friday there will be a milestone in […]


3 Day Weekend

We’re back after a much-welcomed 3 day weekend.  If your students were home with you for a special Easter or Passover celebration, hope you enjoyed having them. Though T.S. Eliot said “April is the cruellest month,” April is magnificent at Wake Forest.  We are […]
