17 Things
There was a wonderful, moving piece I read today from a mom who wrote her middle child a note as he turned 17, telling him the 17 things she wishes he would know on his 17th birthday. Check it out for yourself and share […]
A Grande Dame in WFU History
Yesterday the Wake Forest family lost a much-beloved member, Lu Leake. Lu came to Wake Forest in 1964 as dean of women, and she had held many different titles, including assistant vice president for planning and dean of the summer school, before retiring in 1997 […]
This Past Weekend
It would be hard to have improved on the weekend we just had. Weatherwise we were in the low- to mid-70s, sunny, light breezes. Perfect. Some of our students hit the road for beach weekend, others stayed on campus. I suspect some of them might […]

Spring Flowers
