Daily Deac

News from around the campus

Our Office of Sustainability sent me this information for our November e-newsletter (which should go out later this week), but I thought it might be helpful to get this out to the Daily Deacdom as soon as possible: “Is your student headed home for the […]


Veterans Day

Today, the Daily Deac is not about campus per se.  Today is the day that many businesses observe Veterans Day, so it is a day of remembrance and gratitude for all who have served our country. Many thanks to all our Deac parents and families […]


Hey…how ’bout those Deacs?

When I was a student here we had a cheerleader who was the “Mic Man” and he lead the cheerleading squad in chants. One of those was “HEY………….how ’bout those Deacs?” Last night we had a “HEY………….how ’bout those Deacs?” moment because our football team […]


An important message about Senior Fifth

Some students choose to participate in a concerning and troubling event at the last home football game of the season.  It is called Senior Fifth.  My colleague Peter Rives (’98), Assistant Director of Wellbeing – Alcohol and Substance Abuse Prevention, describes it this way: Senior Fifth […]


The best of Homecoming

Survey

If you’ve been reading the Daily Deac for some time, you know I am in grad school right now, and part of our curriculum has been about research methods and surveys. Surveys are fantastic…if you get enough people to answer them (so you can have […]


Happy Homecoming

As I write this (midday), it is absolutely beautiful outisde (at least to me). It is gray and overcast, a little breezy, and the leaves are in their full glory. Was driving on Reynolda Road earlier today and it is spectacular. There are trees on […]


Native American Heritage Week

We haven’t called for “Where In the World Are Wake Foresters?” pictures in a while – so feels like a good time to do it. If you have a picture of yourself/your Deac in WFU attire – whether that is on vacation, volunteering, or at […]


Students currently abroad

Happy humpday, Deac families! Hope you are having a great week. Today is Halloween and if your Deacs were in Alumni Hall, they would have seen some pretty spectacular Halloween costumes, as some of our staff really went to town on costumes: we had Snow […]
