Welcome Home for Homecoming!
Happy Homecoming Friday! As you can imagine, it’s a busy time for us on campus. Here’s a look back at some of the best photos from Homecoming 2010 to show you what a great time we’re going to have this Homecoming!
Campus Experiences Checklist
My colleagues in Campus Life do a terrific job creating a vibrant atmosphere on campus and offering a wide variety of activities, events, and outlets for students’ energies and passions. They put together a checklist that is intended for first year students, but […]
Coach Jim Grobe
Some of you might have seen this article in the Washington Post: “Wake Forest’s Jim Grobe achieves beyond the numbers” (written by John Feinstein, a Duke alumnus and sportswriter.) If you haven’t, it’s a good read. While I am by no means a confidante […]
