Pic of the Day: Undergraduate Research Fair

I loved this shot of the Undergraduate Research Fair. One of the many things that makes Wake Forest unique is our commitment to undergraduate teaching.  Students can work on research projects with their faculty members – something that at other universities might not happen unless […]


Pic of the Day: the sky

Belated Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all who are celebrating!  Today’s pic of the day is an amazing orange sky, seen with the ZSR Library cupola. Is this heaven?  No, it’s Wake Forest!


Winter break for us too!

All the residence halls closed on Sunday the 18th, and with the students gone it means that faculty and staff can have a winter break too. Wake is officially closed for the holidays December 26-January 2, but yours truly is headed out in advance of […]


What it’s like when your Deacs aren’t here

When 3,000-4,000 people who’d been here a few days ago suddenly are all gone, it is noticeable. Campus is very still, and very quiet. The stillness manifests in the student parking lots (empty but for a parked few cars), the sidewalks (no one on their […]


A peek behind the curtain

Yesterday I was fortunate to receive an email from an intrepid Daily Deac reader with a picture taken by her Deac.  This is a picture of the Farrell Hall Living Room at 2:02 am, when senior Colton Bina (’17) realized he was the last […]

Hump Day, finals edition

It’s Wednesday – the hump in the middle of the week – and your Deacs who are still here are hard at work on their final exams and projects.  Stay strong, Deacs!  It’s almost over! There are all sorts of practical matters to cover today […]


Helping students prep for finals with food, costumes, and compassion

Late Night Breakfast was lastnight – free food in the Pit from 10-midnight.  My shift was not until 11, but I am told that there was an enormous line at 10 and the place was packed. We served breakfast foods – french toast (which went fast […]


Soccer, Finals, OPCD, Late Night Breakfast

Today is a bittersweet day on campus.  Our Deacs went to the College Cup finals in Houston and they played their hearts out.  The game went to two overtimes and then penalty kicks.  Stanford edged us on the PKs and got the victory.  While I […]


Late Night Breakfast this coming Monday

Longtime Daily Deac readers know that I talk about Wake being like a smorgasbord buffet – and the more bites you try of all the campus has to offer, the richer your experience will be. This coming Monday we have a real buffet for your […]
