First-year student survey now open

First-year students were emailed a brief, 16-question survey on Monday, Sept. 25, designed to provide insights into your first few weeks in The Forest. The data from this survey will help us to understand first-year students’ sense of belonging. Class of 2027 Deacs, please check your Wake Forest email and take the survey, which will be open until Sunday, Oct. 8.
