Yesterday was a punishing weather day. It rained nearly nonstop – sometimes sideways – and was only in the low to mid 50s. It was just a wretched day to be out and about. Today, thankfully, the clouds are still here in patches, but at […]
This weekend, we lost a Wake Forest student, junior Jordan Bayer of Brookline, MA, in a tragic car accident. He was a member of the DKE fraternity and a student in the Business School. Information about the funeral was sent to campus today. There […]
For so many of us, November begins the long procession of holiday celebrations, starting with Thanksgiving. I thought it might be good to reflect on some of the reasons I am thankful for Wake Forest – and maybe some of these reasons will ring true […]

Project Pumpkin is today, and I am hoping that the forecast improves. There is an 80% chance of rain for the day, and it’s pretty grey and foggy this morning. Theoretically you will be able to tune in to the Quad Cam in the […]
