Welcome home, Deacs! In celebration of this weekend’s Homecoming class reunions, we took a trip down memory lane and dug through the archives. Check out these throwback photos from when the classes of 2020, 2015, 2010, and 2005 first moved in! 💛🖤

We are so excited to be welcoming back families for Family Weekend! These 37 days since move-in have flown by!

Happy Fall Equinox!

We are so exited to start to see the leaves change around campus.

Please note that as leaves fall, our partners in Facilities, Real Estate and Planning will be hard at work removing leaves from campus. We are so thankful for all that they do!

Move-In was full of excitement, and we loved welcoming our students to campus! Here’s a look at the numbers behind it all.

Resident Adviser training is in full swing and we are so glad to have them back on campus.

Our RAs partner with a diverse group of students to create a home at Wake Forest while creating programs and initiatives that enhance the student experience–one where each student matters, belongs, and thrives.

They can’t wait to meet you soon!!

Happy Parent Appreciation Day!
We’re grateful for the many parents and family members who support their students during move-in each year. Whether it’s making the long drive, carrying heavy items, or helping to make the space feel like home, your involvement plays a meaningful role in this special transition.

Director of Operations Zach Blackmon recently presented at the annual StarRez conference with one of our fellow corporate partners, Storage Scholars, in addition to a representative from Georgia Tech.

They discussed how a student move-out and shipping partner helped to navigate COVID-era closures, family tragedies, and more with speed and care. The session highlighted how operational alignment and campus collaboration set the stage for quick responses- and how new platform integrations are reducing friction for everyone involved.

We are so thankful to have an amazing partnership with Storage Scholars!
