Faculty information for Convocation

A message for faculty from Harold L. Pace, assistant provost and university registrar:

As is our tradition, the Wake Forest community will gather on Founders’ Day to remember our history and our early leaders whose devotion and ideals laid a strong foundation on which we build. During the Convocation at 4 p.m. on Feb. 21 in Wait Chapel, six of your colleagues will be honored with awards in the areas of teaching, research, and service. President Nathan Hatch will award the highest honor bestowed by the University, the Medallion of Merit. Three of our seniors will present orations, and the 2013 senior class will be honored in a video.

Faculty are encouraged but not required to participate in the academic processional.  Those processing will wear regalia and meet the Marshals at 3:40 p.m. in front of the Post Office. If you need regalia, the University Events Office lends plain black robes and mortarboards (but not hoods) to faculty who will be processing.  If you need to borrow regalia, send your height, hat size and contact information to Melissa Avent at aventme@wfu.edu by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 19.  More information is available at http://convocation.wfu.edu/

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

About 40 faculty, staff, students, retirees and others will be showing their creative side and offering handmade items for sale at the seventh annual Artisans’ Fair on Friday. The fair will be held from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. in the Benson University Center, room 401.

Vendors must be Wake Forest faculty, staff, students or relatives, but the fair is open to the community. There is no charge to attend, but canned good donations for the Second Harvest Food Bank in Winston-Salem are encouraged. Cash and checks will be accepted, and door prizes will be given.

The fair is now a Wake Forest tradition, with new vendors sprinkled among some who have shown every year. For Linda Early, who works in the ZSR Library and makes jewelry, it adds to the University’s family feel. Read more
