Ways Parents and Families Can Help Wake Forest

There is no doubt in my mind that people connected to Wake Forest are among the most loyal in the world.  And no matter where you live or your connection to Wake Forest, you can help advance the mission of the University in big and […]


OK. So we lost.

Yes, there was a big game this past Saturday night.  WFU vs. Notre Dame.  And yes, Wake lost, but it was only by 7, and we were a pretty formidable opponent through most of the game.  Considering that Notre Dame is a big name and […]


Rainy Friday + Big Game Weekend

It was a rainy night lastnight and your students are waking up to gray and rainy skies today.  Thankfully the weather is a little warmer today; we’d been in the low 40s every morning this week and there was frost on the ground.  Today feels […]
