Historically, Wake Forest undergrads pass in and out of the Z. Smith Reynolds Library nearly 25,000 times during exam week. To help with the long hours and anxiety of final tests and papers, the community comes together to offer students some welcome breaks.

For most students, a Friday night in December means studying for the next week’s exams, with maybe some social time to celebrate the last week of classes. Instead of getting ready for the library or a party, 16 juniors and seniors spent a recent evening preparing themselves for life after college.

To better understand virtue and vice and how to define good character, The Character Project at Wake Forest has granted nearly $1 million in research funding to theologians and philosophers from around the world.
