Hannah Kay (or HK as she...

Associate Dean Paul Orser (’69) shared his life lessons during his Last Lecture talk on April 25th. He took some time last week to sit down with me and share his thoughts and opinions on higher education, what it was like to be married as a college junior, and why we won’t see him texting anytime soon.

Unless you live in a cave, you’ve probably heard of D.E.S.K., the annual community service project in which volunteers paint desks for local elementary school kids. Obviously, a popular event like this doesn’t just plan itself. I had a chance to sit down with D.E.S.K. powerhouses Kate Blackburn and Ashley Kogutkiewicz to talk about what actually goes into planning the event, as...

Juggling seems like a fairly simple concept: you take any small projectile and start tossing it between your hands, eventually adding more objects until you’re throwing around multiple oranges, tennis balls, chain saws, whatever. All at the same time. It’s a little known fact, but almost every girl at Wake Forest is an expert juggler. Like your everyday circus clowns, we...

I, of small strength, stature, and courage, have always been a little intimidated by the ROTC men and women that I see walking around campus. Uniform-clad down to their boots and backpacks, they appear ready to defend Wake Forest in the face of any attack. I think full-on camo will usually give you that impression.
