Spring Break!

Spring Break officially starts about the time the Daily Deac hits your inboxes, but there are no doubt some students who have departed early. I am hopeful that we have good weather on campus next week while the bulk of the students are gone. I […]


Downtown and ISLI

If your students have not discovered downtown Winston-Salem, they should. There are a ton of gems – hidden and public – food and drink, art, green spaces, and more. The area of Wake Downtown and Bailey Power Plant are especially fine places to start exploring. […]


Zipcar promotion

My hair has a little more grey this morning following lastnight’s basketball game. We were playing Duke at Duke, which is always a really tough game. Our guys played their hearts out – and took the game literally down to the last seconds – but […]


Big news: new Athletic Director

There was some big news on campus over the weekend: Ron Wellman, who has been our athletic director for 27 years, has announced his retirement. He will be replaced by John Currie, a 1993 graduate of Wake Forest. Great to see a Wake Forest alumnus […]

Spring Break safety

Spring Break is coming up (March 9-17). That means a lot of our students will be headed somewhere – sometimes home, or to a friend’s home, to Wake Alternative Break (a great series of service projects), or perhaps on vacation. If your Deac is going […]


Tie a Yellow Ribbon Week

One of the things your students might see on campus this week is students, faculty, and/or staff wearing yellow ribbons. That’s because it is Tie a Yellow Ribbon Week, which is designed to raise awareness of – and show support for – survivors of rape […]


What is that yellow thing up in the sky?

I thought I had posted this yesterday before the deadline for it to be sent out – only to discover it was still in draft form. Oops. So bringing this to you a day late and a dollar short, as my P’92 dad was fond […]


Birthdays

It’s a soggy Friday here at Mother So Dear. Rain, rain, go away! We had a question come in via another department – a Wake family member had wanted to know about doing something special for their Deac’s birthday. This particular family member knew that if […]


Housing Selection Q&A

Today’s Daily Deac is sharing information from Residence Life & Housing about the housing selection process for current students (note: no action needed for incoming first-years in the Class of 2023 – their process takes place in the summer). There is also good info in […]
