Please find below updates on several Human Resources initiatives, along with key dates:
Leadership Development Program
The Professional Development Center is accepting applications through March 15 for the 2013-2014 Leadership Development Program. The program continues to be open to 10 faculty and 10 staff members, a structure that creates a diverse learning environment and helps participants gain a new appreciation of the different roles and departments across campus. Please visit the Leadership Development Program web page for further information.
Youth Employment Program
Applications now are being accepted from departments who are interested in hiring a student dependent for this summer’s Youth Employment Program. The program has been enhanced to model the Wake Fellows Program. More information can be found at the Youth Employment Program web page.
Student dependents of faculty or staff who are interested in applying for the program may do so March 15-31 through the Wake Forest career portal. Position descriptions will be posted once the application period begins, and selected students will be notified by April 30. The PDC will offer afternoon and evening resume building classes to help prospective students create their application materials.
Annual Benefits Enrollment
The annual benefits enrollment period will take place April 1-12, offering benefit-eligible faculty and staff the opportunity to review and update their elections. The annual benefits fair will take place on April 2 in Benson 401.
Centralized Temporary Staffing Services
Wake Forest will launch a centralized temporary staffing service later this summer, which will allow the Human Resources team to support your temporary staffing needs in a convenient and cost-effective manner. We will work with campus departments to determine if the temporary staffing needs can be met through in-house “Wake” temporary employees, or through a preferred agency partner. More information is forthcoming.
Please contact the Human Resources team at x4700, or AskHR@wfu.edu, for questions.

Today is the final day that Wake Forest staff may register online for a lottery to win free tickets to a men’s home basketball game against Georgia Tech and a special pre-game “tailgate” lunch. The University’s Staff Advisory Council is organizing the staff appreciation event set for Feb. 16.
To register for the lottery, staff may visit sac.wfu.edu. Staff without Internet access may register by calling 758.3224.
The SAC is offering up to two free tickets to the game and tailgate to staff members through the lottery. Those awarded tickets will be offered an opportunity to purchase up to two more tickets at a reduced price of $10 per ticket for other family members.
Up to 400 tickets will be given to staff through the lottery. Since tickets are limited, the SAC is encouraging staff to request tickets only for immediate family members to allow as many staff as possible the opportunity to attend.
The game between the Demon Deacons and Georgia Tech is set for 2 p.m. at Joel Coliseum, and the tailgate event will begin at 11:30 a.m. The lunch will be held at The Last Resort at 513 Deacon Boulevard, across the street from the coliseum.
December 11th, 2012 | Events, University Announcement
Wake Forest is embarking upon an exciting new opportunity to develop a comprehensive, campus-wide well-being initiative for students, faculty and staff. As part of the initial stages of this process, the offices of the Provost and Finance & Administration would like to extend an invitation to the entire WFU community to learn about the project thus far and open up the floor for idea sharing.
When Ben Sutton’s gift to spur the renovation and expansion of Reynolds Gym was announced in September, provost Rogan Kersh said: “Well-being means attending to one’s physical and emotional health, emphasizing the importance of character, improving the built environment and much more. A comprehensive culture won’t be something we accomplish with one building, but something we strive to create together as a campus community and then initiate over months and years. If we do it right, our ultimate hope is to enhance Wake Foresters’ well-being across their lifetimes.”
Two sessions will be held in December (click on the link to register through the PDC):
