President's Ball to be held Sept. 15
The seventh President’s Ball will be held Friday, Sept. 15 from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Coliseum.
The biennial ball began in 2005 to celebrate the inauguration of President Nathan O. Hatch, and brings together hundreds of Wake Forest community members during Homecoming weekend.
The semi-formal event is open to students, faculty, staff and alumni, who may also bring guests. No tickets or preregistration is required, but current Wake Forest community members are required to bring their Wake Forest ID.
The President’s Ball will feature live music, free hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar.
Parking will be free at the Coliseum. Complimentary shuttles will be running continuously from the Reynolda campus, behind Poteat Residence Hall (Parking Lot P), beginning at 8:30 p.m.
For further questions, please contact Brittany Helms, co-chair of the student planning committee, at athelmbl14@wfu.edu.

Thank you from President Hatch
The following is a message from President Nathan Hatch:
My message today is brief, but filled with tremendous gratitude and pride for all the many, many Wake Forest faculty, staff and students who helped to make last week so memorable and successful. From the incredible Wake Will Campaign events under the “big tent” on Manchester Plaza on Thursday and Friday, to the impressive “Lay My Burden Down” conference commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, to the Arnold Palmer statue dedication, to the joyous President’s Ball Friday night, and all the Homecoming activities that took place throughout the weekend (including a football win Saturday afternoon!), it was a set of days that Julie and I will long remember.
What we witnessed was the the willingness of each member of this community to pull together in support of common goals, and to celebrate what has been and what can be. Perhaps most striking is that such effort and community spirit is not the rare experience here, but the usual one. That to me speaks perhaps more highly than anything else about what Wake Forest is. To each of you, I say thank you: for what you helped to accomplish last week, but even more to what you do each and every day: for our students, for our university, for our community, and for our world. I could not be more proud.
