This initiative sets a high standard for the words and actions you choose, grounding your efforts in the deeper motivations that drive you. It’s a commitment to the values that will guide you long after you leave the Forest.

A one-of-a-kind piece for the first to ever do it. The latest portrait from our partnership collection with Kyan Patel honors Misty Copeland — the first Black woman to become a principal dancer at the American Ballet Theatre (ABT), now an author, founder, philanthropist and this year’s Commencement speaker.
This one’s for mom and Nya.
When he’s back in Chicago, Bennett Pascal will be taking a piece of Wake Forest with him. Well, two pieces to be exact.
In an ode to graduation and the last four years, the senior artist shares his Wake Forest experience through art — pieces he’ll debut this summer at his first solo gallery show in his hometown, bridging the city that raised him with the place that shaped him.
Part send-off to #WFU26, part welcome letter to #WFU30 and part tribute to @wfualumni, “My Name Is” and “Bow On It” capture the beginning and ending chapters of the student experience. This one’s for the Deacs.

Dear Janey,
You were bigger than the whole sky. 🤍
In the most special eight minutes you’ll ever listen to, the graduating Jam for Janey founders share one last goodbye to the one who gave them their “best evers.”

Something special for our girl tomorrow.

It’s more than the laps around the quad, more than the 12 hours of dancing, more than the tug of war competitions — it’s what we give back.
Of the more than 1,000 cancer programs in the U.S., only 57 are NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers — recognized for the highest standards of expertise and leadership for cancer research, prevention, and patient care. We’re proud to partner with one of them.
Right in our backyard, the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center is among the top 5% of cancer centers nationally and the only NCI-designated center in Western North Carolina. Before heading off for break, student leaders who serve across the Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund had the chance to visit the hospital where all the money we raise goes and learn about the clinical research benefiting from all of our running, dancing, and endless efforts over the past 35 years.
It was a full-circle moment, presenting the Chicago Bears Brian Piccolo Jersey we announced at October’s Hit the Bricks — signed by head football coach Jake Dickert, All-American and recently drafted Minnesota Vikings running back Demond Claiborne, and Traci and Joy Piccolo. And it was a day we won’t forget.
For #41.
