One More Week
One more week to go and then I hope to see many of you on campus for Family Weekend! I wish the fall leaves were a little more colorful – here’s to hoping for some nice reds, golds, and oranges before you arrive.
Peace Pole Dedication
Today at noon there was a service in the Sutton Center to dedicate Wake Forest’s very own Peace Pole. Chaplain Tim Auman led a wonderful program for the community. Evidently there are over 200,000 Peace Poles in the world, in all (or nearly all) […]
Tuesday Misc.
There’s a lot of miscellany to cover today. Here goes. Weather: it has been overcast today and is finally cooler, in the mid 70s. We got a lot of rain late yesterday and look like we could get some more today. I have not been […]
A Message from President Nathan Hatch

Early Forest
I typically get to work pretty early, and today I had to park far away and walk across most of the campus to my building. In the spirit of our “Five Senses” posts, I thought you might like a peek at what you see on […]
Mea Culpa Tuesday
Let’s start with a couple of mea culpas. Yesterday I blogged about some of the sports victories over the weekend, and as I did, I remember thinking “I hope I don’t leave anyone out” – which of course means I left someone out 🙁 (inadvertantly, […]
