Join me in the #WFUSleepinDeacon challenge!

Happy Black and Gold Friday, Deac families.  Today I bring to you an invitation to enhance your wellbeing through better sleep.  Our fantastic Office of Wellbeing is doing the 2nd annual Sleepin Deacon Challenge, which is there to help students, faculty, and staff establish better […]


Sleepin Deacon

If your Deacs are up on the Quad today, they will see a bunch of our Thrive leaves stuck into the ground at regular intervals.  Each of the leaves has information about sleep – the importance of sleep, sleep tips, and information about the Sleepin’ […]


TEDx WakeForestU

Happy Black and Gold Friday, Deac families!  Yesterday I got my first peek at the lineup for the annual TEDx conference.  This is a student-run event and always a big hit. If you find you’ll be in Winston-Salem on Saturday, February 18th, you want to […]


Couple Quick Things

Three quick things today. 1. Got my first glimpse (not live, in photo form) of students in class at Wake Downtown.  This is Dr. King teaching Organic Chemistry (a tough class, or so I hear.) Great to see Wake Downtown in action! 2. A […]


Friday the 13th

Pic of the Day: Undergraduate Research Fair

Hump Day, finals edition

It’s Wednesday – the hump in the middle of the week – and your Deacs who are still here are hard at work on their final exams and projects.  Stay strong, Deacs!  It’s almost over! There are all sorts of practical matters to cover today […]


Helping students prep for finals with food, costumes, and compassion

Late Night Breakfast was lastnight – free food in the Pit from 10-midnight.  My shift was not until 11, but I am told that there was an enormous line at 10 and the place was packed. We served breakfast foods – french toast (which went fast […]


Soccer, Finals, OPCD, Late Night Breakfast

Today is a bittersweet day on campus.  Our Deacs went to the College Cup finals in Houston and they played their hearts out.  The game went to two overtimes and then penalty kicks.  Stanford edged us on the PKs and got the victory.  While I […]
