University Marketing and Communications

This summer, Wake Forest is home to 12 scholars from Spelman College, America's oldest historically black college for women. The scholars have teamed up with faculty in chemistry, communication, English, psychiatry and psychology to conduct research throughout the university.

“We wanted to introduce Wake Forest to China as we look for opportunities to create educational programs in the future,” said Linda McKinnish Bridges, associate dean of admissions. “Not only opportunities for students from China to learn about Wake Forest, but opportunities for Wake Forest students to study abroad or find careers in China.”

The NCAA Division I Board of Directors has elected Wake Forest President Nathan O. Hatch as chair of the board. "I am honored to be selected chair of this important body as we seek to address these important issues and work to uphold the ideals of collegiate athletics,” Hatch said.
