Seen on Campus
Today’s Daily Deac is all photos. Here’s some of what your students might have seen on the Quad… In and around the Benson Center… And […]
Throwback Thursday
I was up in Farrell Hall this morning in the 10-11 am hour, and the joint was jumping. No shortage of students who were out there doing everything from studying to eating breakfast to surfing the net on their laptops. The place was filled with […]
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Happy Humpday, Deac families! You made it to the halfway point in the week! Here’s two quick updates today. The Good: Margot Lee Shetterly, the author of Hidden Figures, will be here speak at 7 p.m. in Wait Chapel on February 5. Hidden Figures is […]

Provost Emeritus and Professor of English Edwin G. Wilson (‘43), known affectionately to all as “Mr. Wake Forest,” is a legendary name on the Wake Forest campus. He retired before he could teach your students, but for our alumni families, I’m not sure there is […]
