Lots and lots of new info

This afternoon, President Hatch sent a message to all students, faculty, staff, and parents/families about the plans for the fall. Read the message here.  The message links to an updated version of ourwayforward.wfu.edu, where there is lots and lots to digest. I encourage […]


10 things to do during your time at Wake

Today I want to share 10 things I think all students should do while they are at Wake, in no particular order. 1. Smell the magnolias when they are in full bloom. Preferably when it is just getting dark outside, when they seem to be […]


Great places and spaces

I’m out of the office today, so this is a pre-post. As the summer progresses, there will be emerging public health guidance about best practices for enjoying campus in a safe and responsible way, but I want to plant the seed (pun intended!) about taking […]


Thursday clarification
