Several years ago, we had a Daily Deac semi-regular feature called “Meet a Deac.” The idea was to introduce you to some of the people on campus who might interact with your students, or have some behind-the-scenes impact on their lives (or yours). We have so […]
Today I have a few items to share from various corners of campus. First, a feel proud to be a Deac story, courtesy of our News Service: “Wake Forest University senior Addison S. McLamb is one of 111 Schwarzman Scholars selected for the master’s degree […]
