Live Virtual Information Sessions
Meet Us Online
Wake Forest continues to build connections, share ideas, and foster communication. Toward that end, we’re offering new opportunities – Distinctively Wake, Dean’s Corner, and The International Hour – to connect with you, and we hope you’ll join us in the dialogue.

Distinctively Wake
Tuesdays at 4 p.m. (ET)*
Thursdays at 7 p.m. (ET)*
We want to have a conversation with you.
Our live online session is a conversation where you can engage with Wake Forest University admissions representatives and a current student. We’ll share what makes Wake Forest distinctive, tell you about the application process, and give you the opportunity to ask us questions through the chat feature.
Each session will last approximately 45 minutes.
* Sessions will be offered once a week and will alternate between Tuesdays at 4 p.m. and Thursdays at 7 p.m.
- Tuesday, January 5 at 4 p.m.
- Thursday, January 14 at 7 p.m.
- Tuesday, January 19 at 4 p.m.
- Thursday, January 28 at 7 p.m.
If you need accommodations for an event, please contact Dawn Calhoun at calhoude@nullwfu.edu or 336.758.5177 five business days in advance.

Dean’s Corner
Wednesdays, 4 p.m. (ET)
There’s no question you have questions. We have the answers. Dean’s Corner is hosted by the Dean of Admissions, Karen Vargas, who will address a topic of the week. You’ll be able to submit your question for the topic of the week when you register, we’ll answer them for you, and take questions live through the chat feature.
Each session will last approximately 30 minutes.
Wednesday, November 18 will be the last Dean’s Corner session offered this year. Information for 2021 will be provided soon.
If you need accommodations for an event, please contact Dawn Calhoun at calhoude@nullwfu.edu or 336.758.5177 five business days in advance.

The International Hour
Thursdays, 8 a.m. (ET)
- There will not be a session on Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 26
If you’re a student from outside the United States, please consider joining us to discuss any questions you might have with Niki McInteer, our Associate Dean of Admissions who works specifically with international applicants. This session is not a structured presentation. Instead, we’re hoping that you will come ready to engage with the Office of Admissions to learn more about Wake Forest from an international perspective.
If you have specific questions about applying as an applicant from abroad, this is the space to find answers.
Where to Start
Let’s start with your getting to know us – and our getting to know you. Through application questions and optional personal interviews, we’ll want to know about your talents and accomplishments, your thoughts and ideas, your motivations.
