Family Weekend registration begins tomorrow (July 18)

I know I told y’all there would be no Daily Deacs for a few days, but I got this email on Friday and wanted to be sure you all saw it. ——————- From: Office of the Dean of Students and Athletics Subject: Family Weekend registration […]


Down Under Deacs

It’s a travel day for me, so I thought I’d include one of our “Where in the World Are Wake Foresters?” pictures. This is Alex Sharp (’20) from Melbourne, Australia. Alex’s father tells us that “Alex is on the Women’s Basketball team and is currently home for […]

This afternoon I was in a presentation with our Global Programs and Studies (GPS) office, who was showing us a demo of software that Wake uses to track our students studying abroad.  Obviously when there is a situation abroad – be it a natural disaster […]
