The ABCs of Commencement

As we gear up for Commencement, I am updating a post from a few years ago on  the ABCs of Commencement, Daily Deac style. While this might be most relevant to our P’22s whose Deacs are about to graduate, families of other years might want […]


Seen Last Week

Many of you have told me how much you enjoy seeing pictures of things happening on campus. Since I was out last week, I peeked in the photo archives of our master photographer, Ken Bennett, to see what happened while I was gone. There were […]


Back in the Dash!

I am back in the Dash – aka Winston-Salem – and in the week I was gone, Mother Nature has been hard at work. Everything is in full bloom and absolutely gorgeous, though it is colder today than it should be (around 55 degrees). It […]


College Parent/Family Member Roles

I am on Spring Break this week with my high school junior, so this is a pre-post. Because we have a lot of new P’26 incoming families just starting their WFU journey with us, today we will focus on how to think about the roles […]

I am out of the office today, and will be out all next week for Spring Break with my Class of ’27 son. Today we have a guest blog by students involved in Storage Scholars. Storage Scholars is the official moving and storage partner of […]


Happy Arnold Palmer Day!

Today is Arnold Palmer Day, which is a Traditions Council production. Between 11 am-1 pm, they were slated to have cake, Arnold Palmer drinks, and t-shirts (it was raining pretty steadily around 11:30 and beyond, so not sure if it was moved indoors or under […]


Wednesday Thoughts

Today is a glorious day – one my late P’92 mom would have called “warm with gentle breezes.” It’s sunny and 70 degrees as I write this, but it is supposed to hit 80 by the end of the day. We had a big rain […]
