Information Sessions

Distinctively Wake

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.

 
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

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 month, on the first Thursday of each month. You’ll be able to submit your question for the topic of the month when you register; then, we’ll answer them for you and take questions live through the chat feature.

Each session takes place at 3 p.m (ET) and will last approximately 30 minutes.

The International Hour

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.

On-Campus Information Sessions

You can choose between a morning or afternoon session and tour on Mondays and Fridays.

The morning information session will begin at 10 a.m. and will be followed by a campus tour led by a guide at 11 a.m. The information session and tour is repeated at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m., respectively.

Student-led tours – without the information session – will be offered at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

We encourage visitors to register in advance. We are able to accommodate walk-ins as space allows – on a first-come, first-served basis – but we can’t guarantee a space, which is why it’s best to register.

Please note, due to the possibility of changes in campus operations, the University may suspend information sessions and tours. If this affects your visit, you will be notified by email.

We are delighted you will be visiting Wake Forest University! We look forward to seeing you!
