Daily Deac

Faculty positivity

Happy Monday, Deac families! May it be a great, abbreviated holiday week. Wanted to start off with some faculty positivity. One of my faculty friends/Facebook friends posted this the other day and I really loved the spirit of it. In addition to inherently liking […]


It’s time to get lethally serious about doing stuff that actually matters

I am in a training class today, so here is a revisit of a popular Daily Deac of years past. Though it is a little dated perhaps, I think there is still some good food for thought here. —————————————– A dear friend of mine and […]


Ooh la la

As many of you know, Reynolda Village is a short and delightful walk from campus. From the parking lot that is down the hill from the Porter Byrum Welcome Center and before you get up to Winston Hall (bio building), there is a wonderful […]


Observations from Farrell Hall

Happy Tuesday, Deac families! I was in Farrell Hall over the lunch hour today, and while this is not an official Five Senses post, I will tell you some of what I observed. In the Living Room (the big ground floor atrium), there were about […]

A very special experience

Happy Black and Gold Friday, Deac families! I am out on PTO today, and then will be traveling west for our Atherton New Student Reception, so this is a pre-post (as will be many of next week’s Daily Deacs). During Commencement weekend, we had a […]


Maya Angelou

Many of you may know of Angelou residence hall, named after Maya Angelou, but did you know the story behind her long and loving relationship with Wake Forest? Dr. Angelou came to Wake Forest in 1982 and taught poetry as Reynolds Professor of American […]
