One More FYI to Close Out the Week

We’re closing out this week of Daily Deacs with some FYIs you may or may not have known.  Sustainability is something we are very proud of at WFU, and there are lots of ways that students can live a greener life while on campus.  Did […]


Public Art and Tribble Courtyard

Here’s another FYI for the week.  Did you know that between the Benson University Center and Tribble Hall, we have a public art project?  It’s a series of human figures made of chain links – a project called Links by Will Garin (’96). […]


ZSR Atrium

As we continue some of my FYIs during my time out of the office, today’s FYI is the new look and feel of the ZSR Library Atrium. Last week I had an opportunity to check out the new digs.  There is new furniture there – […]


Time to Talk About Emergency Preparedness

As I continue my work on the West Coast, today’s FYI and subject for both parents and students to consider reading and talking about is emergency preparedness.  This is one of those topics that few people want to think about or talk about, because it can […]

Smell-O-Vision

Today is a day I wish that the oft-joked Smell-O-Vision technology worked.  If it did, I would have taken video of the Magnolia trees on the Mag Quad (aka Manchester Quad), on the south side of campus. The magnolias are all over the Mag […]


#WFFdoubledown

So it’s a pretty big day here for us, our 52 hour campaign to help push us to the finale of our yearly fundraising.  We rely on alumni, parents, and friends to support WFU, and your gifts to the Parents’ Campaign of the Wake Forest […]


Asking for Your Help in Advance

Back in the office after a fantastic (if brief) trip to Boston for the first New Student Reception of the season.  We had a wonderful group of ’19s and P’19s there and it was a terrific evening. Many thanks to the current students in attendance, […]
