Family Weekend thoughts

We’re just a little over a week away from having our Deac families on campus for Family Weekend – which is always one of the best and happiest weekends of the year. We know you are looking forward to seeing your students (and they are […]


Where In the World Are Wake Foresters?

Happy Wednesday, Deac families! I have been steadily gathering a few more pictures for our Where In the World Are Wake Foresters? series. We’ll jump right in. Because we ran an item about the Berlin Wall on Monday, I got some great […]


Thrive Tuesday

Pre Fall Break

Last day before Fall Break. I got a message yesterday that there is a new link to a recording of From the Ground Up (some of you had noted that the livestream this past Saturday cut off before the end). I watched this […]


Five Senses of a Walk Across Campus
