“As you might guess,” said Linda Nielsen, a professor of educational and adolescent psychology at Wake Forest, “daughters whose fathers have been actively engaged throughout childhood in promoting their academic or athletic achievements and encouraging their self-reliance and assertiveness are more likely to graduate from college and to enter the higher paying, more demanding jobs traditionally held by males.”

Alan Brown: School return requires time and resources
“When face-to-face schooling resumes for all students after a long delay, it will be teachers and administrators who are left to make up for the learning deficits caused by a lost year of in-person instruction,” said Alan Brown, chair of the Department of Education at Wake Forest, in an opinion piece. “Rather than marginalizing or shaming voices opposed to school reopening, it would be more productive for us to advocate for the time and resources needed to create a reopening plan that is feasible and safe for students, faculty and staff.”
