Daily Deac

Full Info Friday

I’m back from my event and it seems like this week has lasted a year. Let’s jump right into the tough stuff. We’ve tried to keep parents and families informed of the status of the shooting investigation as those details are released to us from […]


There Are No Good Words

I wrote the Daily Deac post below on Sunday.  As most of you know by now, there was an incident on campus early Saturday morning which resulted in a student from Winston-Salem State, Najee Ali Baker, being shot; he later died from his injuries. There […]


Let It Snow

As you have probably heard from your students, we had a snow day yesterday. Despite a prediction of 1-3″, we got a whopping 6.5″ of snow at my house, and I am only 3 miles from campus so I assume it was the same there. […]


Lots of energy

The students are back, and there is a lot of energy back on campus with them. Today is Bid Day for sororities, which means at 3:45 pm, groups started gathering on the Quad (or at their lounges if at other residence halls off the Quad) […]

Meet a Deac – Bill Wells (’74)

You all know by now that I am a huge fangirl for our soccer team. Tonight at 7:30 is the MAC Hermann Trophy presentation, and our own Jon Bakero is one of the three finalists. You can watch a livestream of the event; […]


Reentry is hard

We’re gearing up for the return of our students. First it will be the young ladies who are participating in sorority recruitment (what we called “rush” when I was in college), then the rest of the student body. The start of the spring semester brings […]

Every year, our Provost, Rogan Kersh (’86) does a “Best Of” list that features some of the best books, articles, movies, music, and restaurants from the previous year. This has become an annual tradition at Wake and many of our parents and families have […]
