Quiet
We are three days post-Commencement, and in my building at least you can feel it. There is so much upfront work and the devil is in countless details, that when it is over a lot of the folks here take a few days off to […]
Commencement Wrap Up
Yesterday was Commencement, and it was an absolutely picture perfect day on campus. The weather was ideal – cool in the am, warming up to low 70s and sunny. The mood was jubilant. The campus was beyond gorgeous. And what a joy it was to […]

The Weather
Our thoughts are with all of the Wake Forest families who have been in range of the terrible storms of this week. We hope that you have not been directly affected and are sending our positive thoughts your way. Winston-Salem did not experience any particularly […]
Campus Day Part 2
Today is the second Campus Day for Accepted Students, which is bringing about 400 families to campus on this grey and overcast day. Our Parent Programs office had a table set up with a display showcasing the Parents’ Page and other things, and we had […]
