Wake Washington – and a survey

Many thanks to the Deac parents/family members who came to our event at the Wake Washington Center yesterday. This was my first trip the Wake Washington Center, and it was wonderful! For those of you who are not familiar, we have a ‘semester abroad […]


Spring

Campus is finally seeing the beauty of spring begin. There are about a billion daffodils on campus – especially in the drive up the main entrance by the Byrum Welcome Center. And as you walk around campus, you might see crocus (crocii?), or creeping phlox, […]


Summer Shipping and Storage

One clarification from yesterday’s Daily Deac: the info I provided about class registration and housing registration refers to currently enrolled students only – folks who are here taking classes now as current first-years, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Incoming first-years in the Class of 2023 will […]


My least popular piece of advice

Spring Break!

Spring Break officially starts about the time the Daily Deac hits your inboxes, but there are no doubt some students who have departed early. I am hopeful that we have good weather on campus next week while the bulk of the students are gone. I […]


Downtown and ISLI

If your students have not discovered downtown Winston-Salem, they should. There are a ton of gems – hidden and public – food and drink, art, green spaces, and more. The area of Wake Downtown and Bailey Power Plant are especially fine places to start exploring. […]


Zipcar promotion

My hair has a little more grey this morning following lastnight’s basketball game. We were playing Duke at Duke, which is always a really tough game. Our guys played their hearts out – and took the game literally down to the last seconds – but […]


The Ballerina’s Dilemma

Today I am bringing you an updated version of a Daily Deac from a few years ago. This has to do with fear of failure. Wake Forest is filled with high achieving students who have a long track record of success. Research on the current […]
