Finally – Cold
It is cold this morning, Deac families. Very cold. Like 36 degrees, frost on the ground, heavy coat cold. This is about as cold as it has been this fall, and the trend looks to continue over the next few days. Doesn’t appear we we […]
Bits and Pieces
It’s a cool and grey morning on campus, Deac families. Some rain in the forecast for this morning, and then cool weather predicted for the rest of the week. I think it is finally time to break out the fall jackets for real. Here […]
Campaign Kickoff – Wake Will
Lastnight there was an extraordinary gala to kick off publicly Wake Forest’s capital campaign, Wake Will. Your students have perhaps told you of the giant tent that has been erected on the Mag Quad (Manchester Quad) on the south side of campus. There […]

Tuesday morning
Even though Family Weekend was just this past weekend, in some ways it already feels like it is a lifetime away. For students, there is the crunch of final papers, tests, or projects before the looming Fall Break. (Interesting point about Fall Break – it […]
Dignity and Respect Campaign
On the heels of a very happy (and warm!) Family Weekend, Wake Forest is leading into another event. This one is called the Dignity and Respect Campaign, and it is both important and timely. The Office of Diversity and Inclusion sent the email below to […]
