Pro Humanitate
“For Humanity”
Pro Humanitate is Wake Forest’s motto, which translates as “for humanity.” It may also be interpreted as “for civilization.” Or “for kindness.”
Multiple meanings, but it results in specific, concrete acts. Here are a few.
Hit the Bricks
A Wake Forest tradition that unites the campus in raising money to find a cure for cancer.
Wake ‘n’ Shake
Putting on our dancing shoes to raise money for the Brian Piccolo Cancer Fund.
Turkeypalooza
Wake Forest students prepare and deliver hundreds of Thanksgiving meals to food-insecure Winston-Salem residents.
Project Pumpkin
A community-building event that brings students from local schools and after-school agencies to campus for a fun, Halloween-themed event!
