Yesterday was an absolutely gorgeous day, making it two in a row for stunners. It was sunny, it was cool in the morning then warmed up to a nice low-70s range, and there was a light breeze. It was a day made for being outside, […]
Last but not least, our Senior Orations comes to a close. Today we feature the work of senior Daniel Sechtin, with “What is Pro Humanitate? The Power of Asking.” ————— Since setting foot on campus at Wake Forest University, I’ve often thought about our motto, […]
It’s the end of a glorious week on campus. It’s been in the 70s and 80s all week, but to my dismay we’re about to hit a cold and possibly rainy stretch this weekend and early next week. Big, breaking news of the day: there […]

Senior Orations are a kind of essay competition where seniors could submit an essay about their Wake Forest experience to be judged (by a group of faculty, if I recall correctly). Ten overall finalists were selected, and of those ten, three Senior Orations were selected […]
We continue our Meet a Deac series this week with one of my dear friends, Dr. James Raper of the University Counseling Center. You would have met James if you attended the Just for Parents: Help with the College Transition session during Orientation/move-in weekend; he co-facilitates that […]
