New Year, New Semester, New Experiences

Welcome back, Deac families!  Campus offices are open again. It’s the New Year – and that means everything is about to be new on campus too. New semester. New classes. New schedule. New subjects to learn. And a new set of professors for whom students […]


Pic of the Day: Not Your Typical College Toga Party

Happy New Year to all our Deac families!  As we wrap up our Winter Break and think about the spring semester starting again, it felt appropriate to find a classroom shot. Wake has hired a number of really dynamic, amazing young faculty members in recent […]


Pic of the Day: Magic Making in Scales Fine Arts Center

Creativity is alive and well in Scales Fine Arts Center, and there is so much magic made there. It’s one of my favorite places on campus, and I always love the Wake Foresters involved in the arts. This is a picture from David Faber’s Printmaking […]


Pic of the Day: Music

As we continue our winter break feature of Pics of the Day, today we are featuring some spontaneous music making on campus.  Music is a remarkable additive to campus life – whether that is a student playing the piano on the Quad or in the […]


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 […]


It’s very quiet

Today is an unusually cold day – highs in the mid 30s (I know it is colder in many of the places where Daily Deac readers live, but this cold for us). This morning I had the pleasure of driving down to the Benson Center […]
