The hidden nooks and crannies of ZSR

Wandered down to the ZSR Library midday with my hopeful Class of ’27 Deac, who wanted to wander around to every floor and examine every nook and cranny. We stumbled upon a couple of little-known places and spaces and thought it might be fun for […]


Human Library

As unlikely as this is, it is snowing this morning. I have lived in North Carolina basically since I started school at Wake in the late 80s, and I am not sure I’ve ever seen it snow in March. This. Is. Bonkers. And my condolences […]

Weekend Recap

This past Friday was Campus Day for Accepted Students (the first of two, the other will be Friday, April 22nd).  There were 400ish prospective families with us, and of those I talked to during the registration period, it seemed pretty evenly split between students who […]
