Do you remember that week in the fall semester when everything comes together? We captured it in September.
Life on campus was in full swing, with business students spellbound by a standing-room-only lecture on character. Law students prepped for a “Love Island” mock trial. Engineering students tried out welding, and education students fashioned shadow boxes at the WakerSpace.
Volunteers at Campus Kitchen and Campus Garden put Pro Humanitate into practice through flurries of cooking and weeding, while Hit the Bricks organizers, faced with an impending storm, went into SWAT-team mode as they came up with a plan B for the annual Quad convergence that raises money to fight cancer in honor of football hero Brian Piccolo (’65, P ’87, ’89).

Friday brought URECA Day, with more than 100 undergraduates sharing their research findings through a sea of posters. Family Weekend followed with parents, soccer, performances, tailgates and football. Such a close game. So many treasured traditions.
With a month of classes under everyone’s belts, it was the optimal time to focus our lens inward on the ways students are living, learning, growing and giving back today — from the innovations in teaching we could never have imagined to the experiences that feel reminiscent of our own.
We invite you to experience a week at Wake.
