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
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.
Sessions will take place at 7 p.m. ET. on the following dates:

Thursday, July 1 Tuesday, July 6 Thursday, July 15 Tuesday, July 20 Thursday, July 29 |
Tuesday, August 3 Thursday, August 12 Tuesday, August 17 Thursday, August 26 Tuesday, August 31 |
Each session will last approximately 45 minutes.
* Sessions will be offered once a week and will alternate between Tuesdays and Thursdays.
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 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.

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
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.
Sessions will take place every other Thursday at 8 a.m. ET.
