On Inauguration Day, Friday, March 25, faculty and staff are invited to gather for breakfast on Manchester Plaza in the morning, attend the Inauguration Ceremony in person at Wait Chapel in the afternoon and celebrate together with a guest at the Presidential Inauguration Ball in the evening.

The inauguration of a new president at Wake Forest is a rare event and a meaningful moment in the University’s history where we can celebrate a new era together. 

  • Registration for all events is open through March 11.
  • If you have already registered and wish to add or change the events you would like to attend, there is a “modify registration” link within your confirmation email with a confirmation code that can be used to make updates.
  • Faculty and staff who registered to attend the inauguration virtually at the end of February can update their registration to attend in person.
  • While advanced registration is required for all events, only the inaugural ceremony in Wait Chapel requires tickets. Faculty and staff may pick up their tickets at the Hospitality Center in the Green Room of Reynolda Hall from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 24 and 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Friday, March 25. Tickets will also be available for pickup outside Wait Chapel beginning at 1:45 p.m. 

The complete schedule of inauguration activities is available on the inauguration website. Questions? Contact wfu14th@wfu.edu.
