Hopkins Hall dedication scheduled for October 25

On Saturday, October 25, 2025, at 9:30 a.m., a special dedication ceremony and reception will be held celebrating the renaming of South Hall to Hopkins Hall in honor of Larry and Beth Hopkins and their outstanding contributions to the University and the Winston-Salem community.

Beth Hopkins has had a decades-long career in law, education, and community outreach and was one of the first two Black female residential students at the University. Her late husband, Dr. Larry Hopkins, a football star at Wake Forest, was a well-known physician who improved access and outcomes for women’s and neonatal health. Both have served on Wake Forest’s Board of Trustees.

The program will include remarks from President Susan R. Wente at 10 AM.
