    • At Wake Forest, we celebrate faculty who are both outstanding teachers and brilliant scholars. President Wente invites faculty members to share their contributions and insights in our “Walk with Wente” series. This episode features Nina Lucas, Professor of Dance, about how combining dance and academics is a win-win for students at Wake Forest. They discuss teaching students how to connect something in their lives with dance, the benefits of dance as a communication tool, and the need to stay authentic and explore.
  • From the ZSR Library: Did you know that:
    • ZSR offers Personal Research Sessions for all students. Research librarians are available to help at any stage of the research process — from formulating a research question to finding and citing sources. Find a research librarian and book a session.
    • ZSR is currently offering workshops in Zotero — a free, open-source works cited management software (i.e., it helps manage sources and create bibliographies). Register for a workshop or watch online tutorials.
    • Wellness items, including cell phone lock boxes, coloring kits, standing desks, and white noise machines, can be checked out at ZSR.
    • Forgot your calculator? Need to draw something out on a whiteboard? Were you caught in the rain? Borrow a calculator, dry-erase markers, an umbrella, and more from our accessories and peripherals collection.
