Wrapping up the week

We’re closing out the week, and close to closing out the month. Countdown to finals is T minus 15 days, hard as that is to believe. There are a few items to share today. Did you know that Wake Forest is frequently in the news?  […]


Wake Alert and Wakechella

We had an unexpected situation last night: students received a series of Wake Alert messages about an armed robbery at the BP station near the Best Western Plus; the Best Western Plus is our COVID quarantine/isolation hotel. We sent this message to parents […]


Academic advising

I’m academic advising this week, so that is on my mind. Academic advising is a time for students to work with their lower division (i.e., pre-major) adviser or their major adviser (and minor adviser if applicable) to strategize about their fall schedule. Currently enrolled students […]


Catching up

Midweek miscellany

Today I have a handful of items for you: A message went out this morning to the Class of 2021 and our P’21s about Commencement. I’ll give the Bottom Line Up Front here, but there are a lot of details, so please read the […]


Lots of congrats

Missed a few bits of news yesterday since Mondays are Meet A Deac days, but want to offer belated congratulations to Brianna Aaron (‘22) and Ruby Klein (‘21) for winning the 2021 ACC Debate Championship. Go Deacs! We have an incredible debate program; so glad […]


Meet A Deac Monday

It’s that time again! Monday’s are for Meet A Deac. Let’s get right to it. Today I am pleased to introduce you to Dr. Samuel Cho. Tell me a little about you, Samuel: your title, how long you’ve been at Wake, and your educational […]
