Founder’s Day Convocation is today

The Demon Divas perform at the 2011 Founder's Day Convocation.

The Wake Forest community will gather in Wait Chapel today at 4 p.m. to remember our history and our leaders whose devotion and ideals laid a strong foundation on which we build.

During the Founders’ Day Convocation, we will honor service to the University and present awards to selected faculty in the areas of teaching, research and service.  President Hatch will award the highest honor bestowed by the University, the Medallion of Merit.

Three of our seniors will present orations, and the senior class will be honored in a video.

A reception following the Convocation will be held in the Lobby of Scales Fine Arts Center.
