From the Office of Academic Advising

Jessica Jackley, co-founder of Kiva.org to speak tonight

Another opportunity for your students to hear from someone with a very interesting story. Jessica Jackley is a leading female entrepreneur.  She co-founded Kiva.org, the first peer to peer micro-lending organization.  In 2009 she was a finalist for Time’s 100 most influential people […]


Speakers on National Debt

Every time it’s a presidential election year, I feel especially excited for our students.  They will have the opportunity to participate in the democratic process in so many ways: through discussions in classes related to political science, communications, journalism and more; through involvement on campus […]


Tuesday Trivia in Shorty’s

At the beginning of each semester, it’s time to recalibrate and get one’s academic and social schedules straightened out and in good order.  Wake Forest has so many opportunities for engagement and fun, and today I want to highlight one of Student Union’s offerings […]

Following the Olympic Deacs

If you’re like me, you’re an Olympics junkie, thirstily drinking in all the coverage you can get.  And there are some very good reasons to be tuned in – and that is we sent eight Deacs off to London in the search for glory. You […]


I Can’t Wait

We’re edging ever closer to the start of the fall semester, and there are so many great things to look forward to.  Cherished campus traditions like Hit the Bricks, Project Pumpkin, football games and tailagates, the start of the Secrest Artist Series and the performances […]
