Early Wednesday morning as I walked to class, I passed rows and rows of clean, white desks covering the quiet Mag Quad. By the end of the day, the desks (and students) were splashed with color, music was playing, people were chatting and children were romping around in the grass. Every spring, the Mag Quad is filled with these sights and sounds. Discovering Education through Student Knowledge (D.E.S.K.) is an annual tradition here at Wake Forest. Organizations and groups across campus assemble teams to paint desks for local children. This year, 57 students from Old Town Elementary received brightly colored and carefully designed desks. The weather was perfect and the turnout wonderful – yet another successful D.E.S.K. celebration!
