Wake Forest University (WFU) is a private research university in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, United States. Founded in 1834, the university received its name from its original location in Wake Forest, north of Raleigh, North Carolina. The Reynolda Campus, the university's main campus, has been located north of downtown Winston-Salem since the university moved there in 1956.[9] Wake Forest also maintains other academic campuses or facilities in Charlotte, North Carolina; Washington, D.C.; Venice; Vienna; and London.

Wake Forest's undergraduate and graduate schools include the School of Business, School of Arts and Sciences, School of Professional Studies, School of Divinity, School of Law, and School of Medicine.[10] There are over 250 student clubs and organizations at the university, including fraternities and sororities, intramural sports, a student newspaper and a radio station.[11] The university is classified among "R-2: Doctoral Universities – High Research Activity" and its undergraduate admissions is considered selective.[12]

According to the National Science Foundation, Wake Forest spent $191 million on research and development in 2018, ranking it 117th in the nation.[13]

As of 2024, 18 Rhodes Scholars,[14] including 13 since 1986,[15] 5 Marshall Scholars,[16] 15 Truman Scholars[17] and 62 Fulbright recipients since 1993 have been affiliated with Wake Forest.[18] Past and present alumni of Wake Forest include nine college founders and presidents, six U.S. governors, 16 members of the United States Congress, 5 U.S. federal officials, 5 U.S. diplomats, a Pulitzer Prize winner, Olympic athletes and many U.S. district judges.

Wake Forest athletic teams are known as the Demon Deacons and compete in eighteen NCAA Division I intercollegiate sports. Those teams have won 10 NCAA team championships and the university is a founding member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).[19]

## History

[edit]

The original campus of Wake Forest College in Wake Forest, North Carolina.

During the Baptist State Convention of 1833, at Cartledge Creek Baptist Church in Rockingham, North Carolina, establishment of Wake Forest Institute was ratified.[20] The school was founded after the North Carolina Baptist State Convention purchased a 615-acre (249 ha) plantation from Calvin Jones in an area north of Raleigh (Wake County) called the "Forest of Wake". The new school, designed to teach both Baptist ministers and laymen, opened on February 3, 1834, as the Wake Forest Manual Labor Institute. Students and staff were required to spend half of each day doing manual labor on its plantation. Samuel Wait, a Baptist minister, was selected as the principal, later president, of the institute.[21]

### Wake Forest College

[edit]

Wait Hall at the original Wake Forest campus in 1943.

In 1838, the school was renamed Wake Forest College, and the manual-labor system was abandoned. The town that grew up around the college came to be called the town of Wake Forest. In 1862, during the American Civil War, the school closed due to the loss of most students and some faculty to service in the Confederate States Army.[citation needed] The college re-opened in 1866 and prospered over the next four decades under the leadership of presidents Washington Manly Wingate, Thomas H. Pritchard, and Charles Taylor. In 1894, the School of Law was established, followed by the School of Medicine in 1902. In 1911, Louise Heims Beck became the university's first librarian, later going on to become a vaudeville performer and the recipient of a Tony Award.[22][23] The university held its first summer session in 1921. Lea Laboratory was built in 1887–1888, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[24]

The leading college figure in the early 20th century was William L. Poteat, a biologist and the first layman to be elected president in the college's history.[25] "Dr. Billy" continued to promote growth, hired many outstanding professors, and expanded the science curriculum. He also stirred upheaval among North Carolina Baptists with his strong support of teaching the theory of evolution but eventually won formal support from the Baptist State Convention for academic freedom at the college.[citation needed]

### Move to Winston-Salem

[edit]

Wait Chapel overlooks the northwestern end of Hearn Plaza, also known as the Upper Quad.

The School of Medicine moved to Winston-Salem (then North Carolina's second-largest city) in 1941 under the supervision of Dean Coy Cornelius Carpenter, who guided the school through the transition from a two-year to a four-year program. The school then became the Bowman Gray School of Medicine. The following year, 1942, Wake Forest admitted its first female undergraduate students, after World War II dramatically depleted the pool of male students.[citation needed]

In 1946, as a result of large gifts from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, the entire college agreed to move to Winston-Salem,[26] a move that was completed for the beginning of the fall 1956 term, under the leadership of Harold W. Tribble. Charles and Mary Reynolds Babcock (daughter of R. J. Reynolds) donated to the college about 330 acres (1.3 km2) of fields and woods at "Reynolda", their estate.[27] A name change to Smith Reynolds University was considered, but dropped.[28] From 1952 to 1956, fourteen new buildings were constructed on the new campus.[29] These buildings were constructed in Georgian style.[29] The old campus in Wake Forest was sold to the Baptist State Convention to establish the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.[citation needed]

### Desegregation

[edit]

On April 27, 1962, Wake Forest's board of trustees voted to accept Edward Reynolds, a native of Ghana, as the first black full-time undergraduate at the school. This made Wake Forest the first major private university in the South to desegregate.[30] Reynolds, a transfer student from Shaw University, became the first black graduate of the university in 1964, when he earned a bachelor's degree in history. He went on to earn master's degrees at Ohio University and Yale Divinity School, and a PhD in African history from the University of London in 1972.[31] He became a professor of history at the University of California, San Diego, and the author of several history books.[32][33] Other diversity milestones:

* Japanese student Konsukie Akiyama became the first Asian graduate in 1909.
* The first women undergraduates were admitted in 1942.
* James G. Jones became the first American Indian graduate in 1958. He was from the Lumbee nation.[34]
* On February 23, 1960, ten Wake Forest students joined eleven students from Winston-Salem State Teachers College (present-day Winston-Salem State University) for a sit-in at Woolworth's lunch counter in downtown Winston-Salem.[35] The students' non-violent protest, along with other protests in Winston-Salem, led to the desegregation of the city's restaurants and lunch counters on May 23 of that year.
* Martin Luther King Jr. spoke in Wait Chapel on the Wake Forest campus on October 11, 1962.[36]
* Herman Eure (biology) and Dolly McPherson (English) became the first black tenure-track professors in 1974.[37]
* The Office of Minority Affairs was formed in 1978 and later became the Office of Multicultural Affairs. Wake Forest also added an Office of Diversity & Inclusion, an LGBTQ Center,[38] and a Women's Center.[39]
* In 1982, poet/actress/author Maya Angelou was hired as Reynolds Professor of American Studies.[40]
* In 2002, Wake Forest added a cultural diversity requirement[41] to its curriculum, mandating all undergraduates take one of 74 courses to educate them on cultural diversity.
* Wake Forest appointed its first (part-time) Muslim chaplain in 2010.[42] In 2011, the first associate chaplain for Jewish Life was named.[43]

#### Recognition

[edit]

Wake Forest's Associate Provost for Diversity and Inclusion Barbee Oakes was named one of the "25 Women Making a Difference" in 2012 Diverse Issues in Higher Education, recognizing her for commitment to initiatives that promote pluralism and foster community.[44] Wake Forest was among 40 schools across the country awarded the 2012 Higher Education Excellence in Diversity Award by Insight into Diversity magazine.[45]

#### Controversy

[edit]

On March 12, 2019, Wake Forest was one of eight colleges and universities involved in the Varsity Blues scandal.[46] It was later revealed that former Wake Forest volleyball coach Bill Ferguson accepted a $50,000 bribe to help a future student be admitted into the university.[47][48]

### Recent history

[edit]

The Benson University Center at the current Reynolda campus was built in 1990.

A graduate studies program was inaugurated in 1961, and in 1967 the school became the fully accredited Wake Forest University. The Babcock Graduate School of Management, now known as the School of Business, was established in 1969. The James R. Scales Fine Arts Center opened in 1979.[citation needed]

In 1979, Wake Forest began a process to change its relationship with the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, in order to obtain more academic freedom and choose non-Baptist trustees.[49] In 1986, the school gained autonomy from the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina and established a fraternal relationship with it.[50][51]

Middleton House and its surrounding 5 acres (2.0 ha) was deeded by gift to Wake Forest by Philip Hanes and his wife Charlotte in 1992.[52] The donation was completed in 2011.[53]

The thirteenth president of Wake Forest was Nathan O. Hatch, former provost at the University of Notre Dame.[54] Hatch was officially announced as president on October 20, 2005. He assumed office on July 1, 2005, succeeding Thomas K. Hearn Jr., who had retired after 22 years in office (and for whom the Upper Quad is now named). In 2020, Hatch announced his retirement as president.[55] On January 29, 2021, the Wake Forest University Board of Trustees named Susan Rae Wente as Wake Forest's fourteenth president and first female president of the school.[56]

On September 16, 2015, Wake Forest announced plans to offer undergraduate classes downtown in Innovation Quarter in Winston-Salem. On March 18, 2016, the school announced programs in biomedical sciences and engineering at its new Wake Downtown campus, opening in January 2017. Wake Downtown is in a former R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company plant, next to the second campus of the school of medicine which opened in July 2016.[57][58][59][60]

On February 21, 2020, Wake Forest officially apologized for the institution's role in profiting and benefiting from enslaved people during slavery.[61]

Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and Atrium Health announced a partnership in 2019 with the goal of a Charlotte, North Carolina, campus for the Wake Forest School of Medicine. More specific details were revealed in February 2021, including a seven-story tower, and on March 24, 2021, Atrium Health announced a 20-acre site at Baxter and McDowell Streets. Also, School of Medicine dean Dr. Julie Ann Freischlag said construction would start in 2022, with the first students attending in 2024. Hatch, who was leaving as president June 30, said Wake Forest would have a School of Professional Studies at the Charlotte location in 2022.[62]

### Political activities

[edit]

On March 17, 1978, president Jimmy Carter made a major National Security address in Wait Chapel.[63] The school has hosted presidential debates on two occasions. The first was between then-vice president George H. W. Bush and governor Michael Dukakis on September 25, 1988.[64] The second match of then-governor George W. Bush against vice-president Al Gore on October 11, 2000. Both debates were hosted in Wait Chapel.[65] Bill Clinton campaigned at Wake Forest for his wife Hillary Clinton during her 2016 presidential campaign.[66]

(among 22% of FTFs for Fall 2023)

Undergraduate admission to Wake Forest is rated as "most selective" by U.S. News & World Report.[100] For freshmen enrolling in the fall of 2023, the university received 17,479 applications and admitted 3,768, or 21.56 percent. 1,385 students enrolled, making the yield rate (percentage of accepted students who then enrolled) 36.75 percent. Approximately 55 percent of the class are women and 45 percent are men. Wake Forest University does not require applicants to submit a college entrance exam score; of the 26 percent of applicants who did submit SAT scores, the middle 50 percent for total scores were between 1410 and 1500. Of the 22 percent of applicants who did submit ACT scores, the middle 50 percent composite score was between 32 and 34.[99] The median family income of Wake Forest University students is $221,500, with 71% of students coming from the top 20% highest-earning families.[101] Over the past couple of years, Wake Forest has been consistently ranked as one of the most expensive institutions in the state of North Carolina, with its total undergraduate tuition for the 2024–25 academic year being $91,266.[102][103][104]

#### Test-optional policy

[edit]

In May 2008, Wake Forest made college entrance exams optional for undergraduate admissions,[105] becoming the first national university ranked in the top 30 by the U.S. News & World Report to adopt a test-optional policy.[106] Being test-optional means Wake Forest's admissions process does not require applicants to submit their SAT or ACT scores, and students can decide if they want their standardized test scores to be considered.[107] Wake Forest University does not publish any explanation of how its admissions process compares applicants with submitted scores to those without.[107]

### Undergraduate curriculum

[edit]

A formal lounge area used for studying inside Reynolda Hall overlooking the Magnolia Quad (formally known as Manchester Plaza)

Wake Forest offers 49 undergraduate majors[108] and 60 interdisciplinary minors[108] across various fields of study. Students initially declare a major the second semester of their sophomore year.[109]

In order to graduate, a Wake Forest student must finish three requirements for 120 hours of credit: a core set of classes, a course of study related to a major, and electives. The core set of classes includes basic requirements (a first-year seminar, a writing seminar, health and PE classes, and foreign language literature) and divisional requirements (at least two classes in each of the humanities, social sciences and math/natural sciences and at least one in the fine arts and literatures).[110]

Wake Forest also offers an "Open Curriculum" option, in which a small number of students, approved by a committee, may design a course of study with an adviser that follows a liberal arts framework but does not necessarily fulfill all the core degree requirements.[111][112]

In order to attend the School of Business, students must make a special application to its program, which offers an accountancy program whereby a student earns a BS and an MS in Accountancy and qualifies to sit for the CPA exam after five years of combined undergraduate and graduate study.[113] The School of Business also offers undergraduate programs leading to degrees in business and enterprise management, finance and mathematical business.[114]

Wake Forest supports a number of centers and institutes, which are designed to encourage interdisciplinary curriculum and programming. Currently, there are three institutes (Humanities, Pro Humanitate, and Eudaimonia) and eleven centers (including Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials; Enterprise Research and Education; Translational Science; Bioethics, Health and Society; BB&T Center for the Study of Capitalism; Energy, Environment and Sustainability; Molecular Communication and Signaling; and Interdisciplinary Performance and the Liberal Arts).[115]

#### Faculty

[edit]

Including the professional schools, the university has 1,996 faculty members, of whom 84.5 percent are full-time employees.[116]

Ninety-three percent of undergraduate faculty have doctorates or other terminal degrees in their field.[117] Wake Forest ranked tied for 10th best undergraduate teaching in the U.S. by U.S. News & World Report in its 2016 report,[118] and the school maintains a faculty-to-student ratio of 1 to 11.[119]

Notable faculty include:

* Anthony Atala, the director of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, is considered a national pioneer in organ growth. His work has been lauded as the No. 1 Science Story of the Year by Discover Magazine in 2007 and the fifth-biggest breakthrough in medicine for 2011 by Time.[120]

#### Study abroad

[edit]

According to the Institute of International Education's 2012 Open Doors Report,[130] Wake Forest ranked third in the country for undergraduate participation in study-abroad programs among doctoral research universities. According to the IIE's methodology, 72 percent of Wake Forest undergraduates received credit for studying abroad in the 2010–2011 academic year, with students spending anywhere from a few weeks to a summer to a full academic year visiting countries around the world. In January 2013, the university received the IIE's Heiskell Award for Study Abroad[131] for its emphasis on providing foreign-based educational opportunities to first-generation college students.

Wake Forest offers more than 400 semester-, summer- and year-long study abroad programs in 200 cities in more than 70 countries worldwide through Wake Forest-sponsored programs and through Affiliate programs (approved non-Wake Forest programs).

Wake Forest program options include:

* University-owned houses: Each semester or summer session, a resident professor leads a group of students to one of three University-owned study abroad houses and offers two courses in his or her respective disciplines. Resident professors are chosen from a wide variety of academic departments. The university houses are: Casa Artom in Venice, Italy; Flow House in Vienna, Austria; and Worrell House in London, England.
* Other University-sponsored semester study abroad programs take place in Santiago, Chile; Dijon, France; Cambridge, England; Salamanca, Spain; and Hirakata, Japan.[132][133][134]

There are over 225 chartered student organizations of all sorts. Student sports organizations are highly visible on campus. Special interest organizations range from the academic, such the Model United Nations team, to the artistic, such as the handbell choir. In spring of 2006, the Mock Trial team was notable in qualifying for the national tournament while only in its 2nd year in operation. Religious organizations are also numerous. Both the College Republicans and College Democrats have active chapters at the university. Historic student organizations such as the Philomathesians, an artistic literary magazine, are also present. Students are entertained by numerous performing groups, including The Lilting Banshees Comedy Troupe, The Living Parables Christian Drama Troupe, and The Anthony Aston Players.

The Office of Student Engagement, oversees all student organizations and fraternities and sororities. Student Engagement also organizes leadership oriented student activities such as CHARGE (Formerly called LEAD), a semester long course in campus leadership.[183]

The event-planning arm of Wake Forest is an undergraduate student-run organization known as Student Union. Student Union events include Homecoming, Family Weekend, Special Lectures, Concerts, the Coffeehouse music series and other weekly events such as movie screenings and Tuesday Trivia nights. Its signature event is the annual "Shag on the Mag" where a big tent covers Manchester Quad (formerly the Magnolia Quad) during Springfest and students shag dance to a live band. It started in 2005 under then Springfest chairman Joseph Bumgarner.[184]

### Student government

[edit]

Founded in 1923, Wake Forest Student Government (known as SG) works under a semi-Presidential system. Four executive officers (Student Body President, Speaker of the House, Secretary and Treasurer) are elected each spring. The President appoints a Chief of Staff. The Executive Officers coordinate with the Cabinet, formed by the Co-Chairs of the seven standing committees. The seven committees are Academic, Campus Life, Diversity & Inclusion, Judiciary, Public Relations, Physical Planning, and The Student Organizations Council (SOC). The executive committee and Cabinet work with members of the Senate to pass legislation and advocate on behalf of students.[185]

The Senate, which acts as a student legislature, is made up of about 60 senators, chosen in fall and spring elections each year. The legislators are assigned to one of seven committees focused on an area of student needs. The student trustee is an ex-officio member of Student Government and acts as a liaison between the board of trustees and Student Government.

### Student media

[edit]

* WAKE Radio was founded by a student group in 1985 after WFDD terminated a long-standing position of student broadcast assistants.[186][187] The organization currently maintains an Internet radio station that broadcasts shows ranging from political and sports talk to indie music.

It was established in 1916 and has been produced by a group of student editors, reporters and photographers every year since then. Notable alumni include Al Hunt, current managing editor for Bloomberg News in Washington DC, W. J. Cash who authored The Mind of the South, and Wayne King who won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of The 12th Street Riot in Detroit in 1967.[189]

### Debate team

[edit]

The Wake Forest Debate team has won the National Debate Tournament in 1997[196] and 2008,[197] made the finals in 2006[198] and 2009[199] and has had six semifinal teams: 1955,[200] 1993, 1994, 1995, 2017 and 2019.[201] Wake Forest has had two winners of the "National Coach of the Year" award: Ross Smith (1997) and Al Louden (1988). The award is named for Smith.[202]

Notable Debate alumni include: Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, the director of the Center for the Study of Terrorist Radicalization at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies; Larry Penley, the former president of Colorado State University; John Graham, the former regulatory czar for George W. Bush; and Franklin Shirley and Martha Swain Wood, both former mayors of Winston-Salem.

In 2010, Wake Forest became the first top-tier debate team in the country to go "open source" and share all its evidence and arguments online through a wiki accessible to other debaters.[203]

### Volunteer Service Corps

[edit]

The Volunteer Service Corps (VSC) is one of the most popular student organizations. It coordinates volunteering in both the local and international/national setting via service projects and trips. The organization has annual service trips to Russia, Vietnam, and Latin America. In light of the disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina, VSC sent 30 Wake Students on a Wake Alternative Spring Break in the Spring of 2006.[204]

### Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps

[edit]

Wake Forest University offers an Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (AROTC) program. In 2006, the AROTC program was awarded the MacArthur Award by the United States Army for having the best medium-sized ROTC battalion in the nation. There are about sixty cadets in the program, and about half of each military science class finishes Leadership Development Advanced Camp (LDAC) as a "Distinguished Military Graduate", the top 20 percent of ROTC graduates.

The minimum service commitment of a contracted cadet who graduates from ROTC is four years active duty and four years of inactive reserve duty after that. Alternatively, a cadet can choose to forgo active duty service and serve eight straight years in the active Reserve or National Guard. Other alternative service plans are available for those who intend to be an army doctor, lawyer, or chaplain with source of commissioning via ROTC.[205]

At Wake Forest contracted ROTC cadets are given full scholarship, a monthly stipend, and book money by the US Army. The university extends the scholarship with free room and board.[206]

The program also serves students from Winston-Salem State University and Salem College.

### Fraternities and sororities

[edit]

With 24 chapters, fraternity and sorority membership consists of around 45 percent of the undergraduate student population.[207] Wake Forest requires that all new members of fraternities and sororities complete at least one semester of full-time studies, so the primary recruiting time is during the spring semester.

Most fraternities and sororities have lounges in campus residence halls, with surrounding rooms being reserved for the chapter. One fraternity, Delta Kappa Epsilon, has a residence off campus.[208]

All fraternities and sororities at Wake Forest belong to one of three councils – the Interfraternity Council, the National Pan-Hellenic Council and the Panhellenic Council.[209] Each of these councils has an executive board that provides resources and programming to its member organizations.

Fraternities on campus: Alpha Epsilon Pi,[210] Alpha Phi Alpha,[211] Alpha Sigma Phi,[212] Chi Psi,[213] Kappa Alpha Order,[214] Kappa Alpha Psi,[215] Lambda Chi Alpha,[216] Omega Psi Phi,[217] Pi Kappa Alpha,[218] Sigma Alpha Epsilon,[219] Sigma Chi,[220] Sigma Pi,[221] and Theta Chi.[222]

Sororities on campus: Alpha Delta Pi,[223] Alpha Kappa Alpha,[224] Chi Omega,[225] Delta Delta Delta,[226] Delta Sigma Theta,[227] Delta Xi Phi,[228] Delta Zeta,[229] Kappa Alpha Theta,[230] Kappa Beta Gamma,[231] Kappa Delta,[232] and Kappa Kappa Gamma.[233]

Professional or Academic Fraternities and Sororities on campus: Alpha Kappa Psi,[234] Alpha Phi Omega,[235] and Kappa Kappa Psi.[236]

Wake Forest is also home to the Sigma Delta chapter of Order of Omega, an honor society for members of Greek organizations. Members are selected from the top three percent of Greeks on campus based on high standards in the areas of scholarship, leadership, and involvement within their respective organization and within the fraternity/sorority, campus and local communities.[237]

In the mid-2010s, fraternities at Wake Forest began to come under more public scrutiny for claims of sexual assault, racism, and violence.[238][239][240]

### Athletic activities

[edit]

Wake Forest offers classes in yoga, Pilates, High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), Zumba, BodyPump, and indoor cycling.[241] Wake Forest students field 36 club sport teams that compete against other colleges and universities at the regional and national level.[242] Over half of the student body participates in 18 different intramural sports.[243] The university's fitness and recreation center, Reynolds Gym, is the oldest gym in the ACC. It was renovated in March 2018 and renamed the Wake Forest Wellbeing Center.[244] The project includes the addition of the Sutton Center which opened in January 2016.[245]

### Dining facilities

[edit]

Wake Forest undergraduate students living on campus are required to sign up for a meal plan in coordination with the Office of Residence Life and Housing and Aramark.[246] Several dining rooms, a food court, bar and grill, Starbucks, and convenience stores are available.[247][248][249][250][251]

### Campus safety

[edit]

The Wake Forest University Police Department (WFUPD) is mostly compromised of properly trained police officers, security officers, communication officers and their support staff.[252]

### Undergraduate student housing

[edit]

Students are guaranteed housing for four years. As of 2010[update], students were required to live on campus for their first three years as a full-time enrolled student.[253]

The three main community areas for the 2013–2014 academic year are:[254]

* South Campus (First Year Student Housing): Babcock Hall, Bostwick Hall, Johnson Hall, Luter Hall, Collins Hall, South Hall, Angelou Hall[255]

* North Area (Upperclass Student Housing): Magnolia Hall, Dogwood Hall, Polo Hall, Martin Hall, Palmer Hall, Piccolo Hall, North Campus Apartments, Student Apartments, Polo Road houses area.

### Personal and career development

[edit]

In 2009, President Nathan Hatch outlined in his strategic plan a campus culture in which personal and career development would become an integral component of the undergraduate student experience.[257] Later that year, he created a cabinet-level position and appointed Andy Chan as the vice president for personal and career development.[258]

Chan's work has included hosting a national conference in 2012 ("Rethinking Success: From the Liberal Arts to Careers in the 21st Century")[259] featuring Condoleezza Rice,[260] and issuing "A Roadmap for Transforming the College-To-Career Experience" in 2013.[261] Wake Forest quadrupled the size of the staff,[262] integrated personal and career development into freshman orientation, and added "College to Career" courses.[263]

### Arts

[edit]

Every student takes at least one course in the arts (art history, studio art, theatre, dance, music performance and music in liberal arts) before graduating.[264] In 2011–2012, more than 500 Wake Forest students were directly involved in performances on campus, and 110 public exhibitions in theatre, music dance and visual arts held in Scales Fine Arts Center in 2012–2013.[265] The university's home, Winston-Salem, calls itself the "City of Arts & Innovation".[266]

Students also can take advantage of a number of other art-related opportunities:

* The WFU Art Collections consist of nine independent collections with more than 1,600 works located in 35 on- and off-campus locations.[267] Every four years, selected students make an art-buying trip to New York City to add to the collections.[268]
* Students are within walking distance of the Reynolda House Museum of American Art, the Wake Forest Museum of Anthropology, the Charlotte and Philip Hanes Art Gallery and START, the student art gallery.
* The Theatre Department, which allows students to participate from their first year, supports interdisciplinary exploration of its plays through the Interdisciplinary Performance and the Liberal Arts Center (IPLACe), which connects the performing arts and other academic departments.[269]
* The student-run Reynolda Film Festival is a free weeklong series of film screenings and workshops featuring a keynote address by a well-known and respected representative of the film industry.[270]
* The Secrest Artists Series offers the Wake Forest community several free opportunities each year to hear world-class concerts.[271]

### School traditions

[edit]

"Rolling the Quad" is a WFU tradition that is done after major victories in athletic competition.[272]

* Arnold Palmer Day: Each year Wake Forest University and it's students celebrate PGA legend Arnold Palmer who attended Wake Forest in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
* Bell Tower/Tunnel Tours: Each year during the spring, Wake Forest seniors get an opportunity to tour and explore the tunnels of the Wait Chapel and often sign their signatures on the chapel's woodwork.
* Deacon Dash/First Year Field Run: Every year during the first Wake Forest Football game, first-year students rush the field.
* D.E.S.K: this long-standing campus tradition brings together local elementary students each spring to campus to create inspiring and colorful study spaces.
* CP3 Day: Every year Wake Forest and it's students celebrate former Wake Forest basketball alum and NBA player and Winston-Salem native Chris Paul on Manchester Plaza where students are offered Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
* Hit the Bricks: started in 2003, this campus-wide tradition which is particularly a philanthropic event that benefits and supports the Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund as well as the Comprehensive Cancer Center at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist. Every fall semester, everyone from current students and alumni meet at Hearn Plaza and take turns running and walking around the Quad to support the fight against cancer.
* Lighting the Quad: Each year, the entire Wake Forest community celebrates the holiday season at Hearn Plaza.
* Lovefeast: Originally started 1965 by Moravian student Jane Sherrill Stroupe ('67), this longtime tradition has become the largest Moravian style-lovefest in the nation.
* Pitsgiving: Each fall, Pitsgiving is an annual Wake Forest tradition styled Thanksgiving holiday dinner.[273]
* President's Ball: Each year, the university, students, staff and faculty celebrates the university president.
* Pro Humanitate Days: This annual Wake Forest tradition is where alumni, students, faculty and staff from around the world join together and volunteer to give back or help the local community.
* Project Pumpkin: Started in 1988, this is normally a student-led project and community building event to bring together the campus as well as the Winston-Salem communities. This event also brings local children to the Reynolda campus that turns into a fall festival, which includes educational activities and trick-or-treating entertainment for the local children.[274]
* Rolling The Quad: Started in the 1950s, each year wake forest students celebrate wake forest athletic team's win's by rolling and spreading Toilet Paper all over the quad and trees, especially if those victory's are against other teams in the Tobacco Road rivalry.[275]
* Wake 'N Shake: Every spring wake forest students will often stay awake and on their feet for 12 hours straight to participate in the Wake 'N Shake Marathon to raise awareness of cancer. In 2022, wake forest students exceeded $3 million in fundraising for Wake 'N Shake.[276]

### School songs

[edit]

Notable among the songs commonly played and sung at events such as commencement, convocation, alumni reunions and athletic games is the alma mater, "Dear Old Wake Forest", and the fight song "O Here's To Wake Forest".[277]

### Screamin' Demons

[edit]

Student attendance of Wake Forest Football and Basketball games is high, in part due to the program known as "Screamin' Demons". At the beginning of each respective athletic season students on the Reynolda Campus can sign up for the program whereby they pay $40 for each year; in addition to the best seats at the games, this gets students a football shirt in the fall and a tie-dye T-shirt in the spring along with a card that serves as an automatic pass to the sporting events. They lose this privilege if they miss two of the games. Through the planning of Sports Marketing and the Screamin' Demons program, basketball game seats in the students section are difficult to attain without participating in the Screamin' Demons program. The arena can seat only 2,250 of the 4,500 undergraduate students at Wake Forest. At least 150 seats are always set aside for non-Screamin Demons, who sit behind the 2,100 member group.[278]

## Athletics

Wake Forest Athletics logo

Originally, Wake Forest's athletic teams were known as The Old Gold and Black or the Baptists, due to its association with the Baptist Convention (from which it later separated itself). However, in 1923, after a particularly impressive win against nearby rival the Duke Blue Devils, a newspaper reporter wrote that the Deacons "fought like Demons", giving rise to the current team name, the "Demon Deacons".[279]

Wake Forest's Athletic teams have won a total of ten NCAA team national championships in five different sports. The women's field hockey team has won three (2002, 2003, 2004), the men's golf team has won three (1974, 1975, 1986), the men's soccer team (2007), the baseball team (1955), and men's tennis (2018), women's golf (2023) have won one each. Wake Forest has a 96% student athlete graduation rate. Wake Forest is sometimes referred to as being a part of "Tobacco Road" or "The Big Four", terms that refer to the four North Carolina schools that compete heatedly against each other within the ACC; these include Duke, North Carolina, and North Carolina State, as well as Wake Forest.[280][281][282]

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons participate in the NCAA's Division I (in the Bowl Subdivision for football) and in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis, and track & field; women's sports include basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, soccer, tennis, track & field, and volleyball.[283]

Wake Forest is generally regarded as a competitive program in men's basketball, having won four ACC tournament titles and frequently qualifying for the NCAA tournament (23 times in the school's history). They reached the Final Four once, in 1962.[285] The school's famous basketball alumni include Billy Packer, a guard on the 1962 Final Four team who became far more famous as a basketball broadcaster; Tyrone Curtis "Muggsy" Bogues, the shortest player ever to play in the NBA; Randolph Childress, MVP of the 1995 ACC tournament;[286] 2006 NBA Rookie of the Year Award and 12-time NBA All-star Chris Paul; two-time league MVP, five-time NBA champion, and three-time NBA Finals MVP Tim Duncan,[287] John Collins of the Utah Jazz,[288] and 2015 NBA all-star Jeff Teague.[289]

Wake Forest Demon Deacons women's basketball team also boosts a competitive program. In 2012, Jen Hoover took over as coach from Mike Petersen, the program's all-time winningest coach.[290] Hoover (then Jenny Mitchell) is the program's all-time leading scorer and rebounder, was a three-time All-ACC selection and was a member of the ACC's 50th Anniversary Team in 2002. Hoover was part of the program's only NCAA tournament appearance in 1988, when Wake Forest beat Villanova and lost to Tennessee. Wake Forest has appeared in the Women's NIT four times, all under Petersen. In 2015, Dearica Hamby was drafted 6th overall in the WNBA draft by the San Antonio Stars (now Las Vegas Aces).[291] Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum is the home venue for the Demon Deacons basketball teams.
