Dear Wake Forest Community,
Each year, the Wake Forest family gathers for the Founders’ Day Convocation to observe the University’s founding in February of 1834. This year, Wake Forest will hold Founders’ Day Convocation on Thursday, February 15, at 4:00 p.m. in Wait Chapel.

Faculty members are encouraged to confirm their participation in the academic procession by registering online
I also invite you to a reception hosted by The Office of the Provost immediately following the Founders’ Day Convocation in the Green Room.
