Yesterday was a punishing weather day. It rained nearly nonstop – sometimes sideways – and was only in the low to mid 50s. It was just a wretched day to be out and about. Today, thankfully, the clouds are still here in patches, but at […]
This weekend, we lost a Wake Forest student, junior Jordan Bayer of Brookline, MA, in a tragic car accident. He was a member of the DKE fraternity and a student in the Business School. Information about the funeral was sent to campus today. There […]
