Daffodils everywhere

Happy Monday, Deac families! It was a beautiful weekend on campus – sunny, warm with a gentle breeze. On Friday night my social media feeds were filled with pictures of campus – specifically of flowers, mostly in the path leading between campus and Reynolda […]


Fall tuition deposit (for current students)

Short Daily Deac today, with information from our Student Financial Services office: An email was sent to students and authorized payers on March 1st reminding them of the $500 non-refundable tuition deposit that is required for all returning undergraduate students. The deposit can be paid on DEAC using the “WFU […]


Wake Washington – and a survey

Many thanks to the Deac parents/family members who came to our event at the Wake Washington Center yesterday. This was my first trip the Wake Washington Center, and it was wonderful! For those of you who are not familiar, we have a ‘semester abroad […]


Commencement Day Advice

I’m still traveling, but wanted to reprise an oldie-but-goodie, my annual advice for Commencement. This is explicitly for parents and families of graduating seniors (P’19s), but our younger classes might want to read as well for future reference. This will be my 18th Commencement, so […]

Spring

Campus is finally seeing the beauty of spring begin. There are about a billion daffodils on campus – especially in the drive up the main entrance by the Byrum Welcome Center. And as you walk around campus, you might see crocus (crocii?), or creeping phlox, […]


Summer Shipping and Storage

One clarification from yesterday’s Daily Deac: the info I provided about class registration and housing registration refers to currently enrolled students only – folks who are here taking classes now as current first-years, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Incoming first-years in the Class of 2023 will […]


My least popular piece of advice

Academic advising is happening this week and next, so there will be a lot of students looking at their schedules and hoping to get in this class or that. Housing selection for residence halls will happen in the coming weeks too, with jockeying for residence […]
