8:16 am Starbucks on a Monday

For this morning’s Daily Deac, we’re all about observation.  It’s 8:16 am in Starbucks on a Monday morning and I am waiting for a meeting to start, so I am putting on my people watching hat. I think it’s safe to say that as a […]


Happy (Chilly) Friday

Happy Friday, Deac families.  It’s another chilly morning on campus – highs only around mid-50s today, and right now it feels like upper 30s.  But it is the end of the week, and your students have been working hard, and I am sure they are […]


Finally – Cold

It is cold this morning, Deac families.  Very cold.  Like 36 degrees, frost on the ground, heavy coat cold.  This is about as cold as it has been this fall, and the trend looks to continue over the next few days.  Doesn’t appear we we […]


International Service Trips

During a student’s four years at Wake Forest, we hope that they will learn, embrace, and ultimately live our motto, Pro Humanitate (for humanity).  Many of our students already come to us with past volunteer service experiences, or at least a well-developed sense of wanting […]


Bits and Pieces

Campaign Kickoff – Wake Will

Lastnight there was an extraordinary gala to kick off publicly Wake Forest’s capital campaign, Wake Will.  Your students have perhaps told you of the giant tent that has been erected on the Mag Quad (Manchester Quad) on the south side of campus.  There […]


Some Thoughts on Upcoming Registration

Registration for spring semester 2014 classes will begin the first week of November, so students who have not yet declared a major (aka first-years and sophomores) are beginning to be contacted by their academic advisers to set up one-on-one meetings about class selection.  The Office […]


Black and Gold Madness, President’s Ball, and Homecoming

One of Wake’s many points of pride is that we are a top 25 national university that competes at the highest levels intellectually as well as athletically.  For some students, Division I sports is an important part of their extracurricular activities.  And Wake has a […]


The Worry Letter

Worry has been on my mind lately.  First of all, I am a weapons-grade worrier myself (it’s part of my genetic makeup; I come from a long line of women who worry).  Second of all, I heard a statistic about a week ago that a […]
