Daily Deac

Another very busy day

Super busy here, so a short Daily Deac again. First up, I goofed in yesterday’s Daily Deac re: Commencement ticket pick up. Pick up is today (Friday) and tomorrow (Saturday) from 9 am-4 pm in Reynolds Gym. Before we get to Commencement info, a […]


Getting close

Just a few days now until Commencement, which is very exciting. It’s also an incredibly busy time for us, so this will be a brief Daily Deac – and largely focused on our P’19s. Students will pick up their Commencement tickets tomorrow or Friday […]


The ABCs of Commencement

As we gear up for Commencement, I am bringing you the ABCs of Commencement, Daily Deac style. A – Apply sunscreen. Commencement is outdoors, and it is sunny. Don’t get burned. B – Bells. The carillon chimes for a long time after the Commencement ceremony […]


Sad news

We received the sad news last night that one of our WFU law students has passed away: “Ozioma (Ozi) Obi-Onuoha, a first-year law student from Raleigh, N.C., has died. We extend our heartfelt condolences to their family, fellow law students, faculty and staff who knew […]


Finals continue

It’s a beautiful day at Wake today. Sunny and low 80s. I had a bunch of meetings in the center of campus today and saw some students (and parents/families) who looked like they were in the process of moving out – carrying bags and boxes. […]


Our numbers are starting to dwindle

You can always tell when it is finals on campus. Beyond the normal visuals of student dress (yoga pants/ponytails/minimal makeup for ladies, hats and stubble for men), you start to see the parking lots begin to empty of the cars. The great dwindling has started. […]


Finals

Finals are always a harrowing time on campus. We have such high-achieving students, and they tend to be perfectionistic people-pleasers. They want to get good grades, they want to make sure they don’t disappoint you. Grades are perhaps the most obvious yardstick to measure what […]


ZSR Decor

Administrators get the end-of-the-semester-crazies too: yesterday I listed the wrong last name for our wonderful guest blogger. She is Emily Beeland (’19) and she deserves credit for some great blogging over the last few semesters. Wet noodle for me. One of the traditions of finals […]


Acronym-heavy day

Today is LDOC – the Last Day of Class. While normally this would be a day that is fun and lighthearted (the end of classes! hooray!), I cannot help but have a heavy, heavy heart. Our friends to the south at UNC-Charlotte had a campus […]


Getting close now

Today is the day before LDOC (the Last Day of Classes). One more day of formal classes, and then it is off to the races towards final exams. Is it just me, or did the semester breeze by in a flash?? It is unseasonably warm […]
