Thoughts on Summer Session

Summer has arrived in Winston-Salem. Yesterday the temperatures were close to 90, and looks like today will be in that range too. Summer also means that Summer Session is happening. Summer I is taking place right now, and Summer II will begin on July […]


Wake Wednesday for P’24s

It’s Wake Wednesday – which means today’s message will be largely aimed at our P’24 incoming parents and families (though I hope P’21s-23s might find some value in this too!) A note before we begin today: I’m writing this from the vantage point of a […]


A glorious day on campus

Couple of bits of business straight away: Yesterday students received an email alerting them to their process for refunds of certain student fees. Please urge your Deacs to check their email for the specifics (there are several different versions of the message because students’ circumstances […]


Somber reflections

Today there are two important messages to share that relate to the horrific death of George Floyd and the sense of injustice, pain, and suffering that so many people are living through. The first message is from President Hatch, which was sent to students, […]


Friday roundup

Wake Wednesday

We’re calling each Wednesday this summer as Wake Wednesdays for P’24s – our parents/families of the Class of 2024 who will begin at Wake this fall. While there is nothing technically “due” today on the First Year Parent and Family Calendar, there will be […]


Move Out

I had the opportunity to be on campus this weekend for four hours on Saturday to help check in students/families who were coming back to move out of their residence halls. Though families who moved out during the week last week had cold rain, Saturday […]


Suggestions for the summer

Now that the 2019-20 academic year is officially over, it is a good time to encourage your Deacs to take a breath, celebrate their successes, and recharge their batteries. Once they have had a chance to relax a little bit, you might find that summer is […]


A picture tells a thousand words

It’s been a gross weather week here: raining since Tuesday and very cold – in the 50s. So today’s Daily Deac will be short and [bitter]sweet. Our very own Ken Bennett had a chance to observe our move out process and document a photostory about […]
