It’s the Last Week of Classes

Happy Tuesday, Deac families! It’s the last week of classes for undergraduates; LDOC (the Last Day of Classes) is this Friday, which seems impossible to believe. Congratulations to our Men’s Golf team, who just won the ACC Championship. This is the first ACC title […]


Meet A Deac

Happy Monday – and let’s dive right in to another Meet A Deac ! Finals are right around the corner, so students might be especially eager to take advantage of tutoring and academic coaching. Today I am pleased to introduce you to one of my […]


Sunny Days

Yesterday I shared the ABCs of Commencement, and I got a very good question from a reader about what “bag check” means. I definitely could have been clearer on that. What I meant by “bag check” is that bags will be searched at entrance […]


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 […]

Finding a Mentor

Though I am out this week on Spring Break with my Class of ’27 student, I have pre-posted Daily Deacs to run in my absence. One of the great benefits to attending a school of Wake Forest’s size and scope is that your students will […]


Advice for Incoming Families

I am out on Spring Break all of this week with my high school junior, so I am pre-posting content for the week. With students having just received their acceptance letters, the Class of 2026 is starting to take shape. As such, we are busy […]


Meet A Deac

It’s a brand new week, and it is time for another Meet A Deac. This week is my son’s spring break, so I am out of the office (and you will see pre-posted Daily Deacs all week). Since I knew I’d be gone, I decided […]
