Daily Deac

Today is Thursday (I needed that reminder!)

Thank you for your patience with the glitch in the sending out of yesterday’s Daily Deac. Not sure why it did not send as scheduled last night, but it did go out this morning. The coronavirus news for today is there is a stay […]


Trying again – repost of Update on 3/25

NOTE FROM BETSY: this was scheduled to mail on the afternoon of 3/25 (Wednesday), but for some reason our push service did not mail it out. I am trying again first thing Thursday. Also new: read the stay at home order. ——————- Each day […]


Update on 3/25

Each day when I publish the Daily Deac, our push-out service, Feedburner, grabs whatever is in the blog as of 5 pm and pushes it out to you sometime between 5-8 pm. After my content deadline yesterday, we received news that there is a […]


#WakeFromHome

One of the semi-regular features in the Daily Deac is Where In the World Are Wake Foresters, where you send me a picture of you or your Deac in WFU gear somewhere in the world. Obviously at this point in time, no one is going […]


Happy FDORDOCM

Recommended viewing – This Is Water

It’s Day 3 of telecommuting for virtually all faculty and staff, and we have a very, very small number of students on campus. I suspect that most of you reading this are also trying to figure out the “new normal,” whether that is working from […]


Five senses of LDFRN

Today is what I am calling LDFRN – Last Day For Right Now. At noon today, all our Deacs need to leave campus, save for a very small number that were approved to stay because of exceptional hardships. Even though staff are working remotely, I […]


Monday 3/16
