Daily Deac

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

Happy FDORDOCM (First Day of Remote Delivery of Course Material) – or classes are back in session! This is no doubt a good thing for our Deacs, so they can get back in a routine and have some things to occupy their minds. Late Friday […]


It’s a surreally beautiful today, y’all

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

I described the coronavirus situation to someone as like riding the Space Shuttle on the outside – it is a crazy ride where you are going a bajillion miles an hour and hanging on for dear life :) We continued to work throughout the weekend. […]


The view from campus

First of all, I would like to thank all the Daily Deacdom for your patience as we navigate this uncharted territory together. Colleges typically have great playbooks for move-in, orientation, major events, etc. but this is a situation that none of us have gone through […]


Coronavirus update

I am typing this at 7 am and there could be things that change between now and 5-6 pm when this typically hits your mailboxes but I want to make sure this gets in the queue to be sent to you. Things really are moving at […]
