New program fits University’s mission
The new Documentary Film Program, which will enroll its first graduate students this fall, is a perfect fit for Wake Forest’s commitment to interdisciplinary studies, mentoring and public engagement, say the program’s directors.

In his remarks to the graduates, President Nathan O. Hatch talked about the "virtue and vice" of ambition. "How do you relate the drive for achievement, to make a name for yourself, with the commitment to live for the common good — Wake Forest's motto Pro Humanitate?
The odds finally caught up with Wake Forest's Commencement ceremony. For the first time since 1991, rain forced University officials to move the ceremony from Hearn Plaza to Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
Divinity school dean Bill Leonard, in his sermon to graduates at the Baccalaureate service in Wait Chapel May 16, encouraged them to "un-name" racism and evil and embrace "names like gentle, merciful, pure in heart and peacemaker."
Some seniors, in the spirit of Pro Humanitate, have left legacies at Wake Forest that will last long after the last tasseled cap falls on Hearn Plaza.
