A message from President Hatch announcing United Way 2020 Campaign launch

I remain grateful for the response all Wake Foresters have demonstrated over past months as we have navigated our current challenges. I am humbled by and proud of the ways our Wake Forest community continues to support the mission of this place, whether in the classroom, in administrative support offices, in our dining locations, among our groundskeeping and facilities operations, campus security and so many other functions. Thank you most sincerely.I write you today regarding our annual United Way campaign. This year, perhaps more than ever, our community is experiencing new levels of hardship.
