Welcome to Wake Forest!
Important Update on Campus Visits, Tours
Due to the global spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), Wake Forest has suspended spring programming and all visits to campus.
We’re Different. Like Everyone.
Demon Deacons come from all over the planet, bringing a galaxy of interests and ideas with them. Some know what they want to do from the moment they descend into this Forest, and they stick to it. But immediate certainty is not a policy around here. Exploration is a vital part of the journey, and diversity — of people, of thought, of studies and of activities — is a trait we’re happy to cultivate.
