Winter Break
The University is closed this week, so that means the staff of the Daily Deac is enjoying a few days off with family – hopefully just like you are doing at your house! So this week, we’ll be featuring some of the best photos from […]

Good morning, Daily Deacers. We have a developing story in process. All manner of media outlets are reporting that Wake Forest has hired Dave Clawson from Bowling Green as our next head football coach. Most of the articles are saying that there will be a […]
