Gray morning

Yesterday was gray. All. Day.  And this morning is starting out the same way.  From my perch in the University Services Building on the northeast side of campus, there was so much fog early that I could not see the top of Wait Chapel, or […]


Since You’ve Been Gone

Your student’s time at home is coming to an end.  My guess is that many of our students are starting to be itchy to come back to campus, to see their friends, to feel the freedom of living on their own (and with all their […]


A New Year

Administrative offices at Wake Forest open back up this morning following our version of Winter Break.  It’s hard to get back into the routine of going to work after a week-long break, but especially so this morning.  The temperature this morning is 25 degrees, but […]


Let It Snow

The University is closed this week, Deac families, but we wanted to give you a glimpse of winters past, so you can see what the Quad and the campus look like after a good snow. We’ll be open again on January 3 and we’ll be […]

It’s Been a Tough Week

As your students are moving into finals (which start Monday), they would probably tell you it’s been a tough week here.  On Tuesday, the campus lost Morgan Judd, who passed away after a brief illness.  There is a beautiful article in the Cincinnati Enquirer […]


As Your Students Prepare for Finals and Break

It’s the last day of classes today, and finals begin next week.  Last night it was cold and rainy and very, very windy.  I was on campus late for the United Way auction and there was a steady amount of traffic in Benson, as well […]


United Way Auction Today – 3-5 pm

Deac families, there is something going on today for a very good cause.  The campus is having a silent auction (as well as a few live auction items) for our campus’ United Way campaign.  There are about 100 items up for sale today – […]
