A message from President Wente and Provost Gillespie

Dear Wake Forest community,

Yesterday, Wake Forest joined a growing list of higher education institutions supporting “A Call for Constructive Engagement.” The statement, organized by the American Association of Colleges and Universities and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, reflects our institutional commitments and our deep belief in the essential role of colleges and universities in advancing our nation’s prosperity and in the importance of a principled relationship between government and higher education.

As affirmed on March 17, we remain steadfast in our advocacy for the transformative power of teaching, research, scholarship, and creative expression. We will continue to share our distinctive concerns and aspirations with our state and federal representatives, ensuring that our voice is heard and our values are upheld.

We thank each of you for your continued support of Wake Forest. We are proud to stand with you in commitment to our mission and our future.

Sincerely,

Susan R. Wente
President

Michele Gillespie
Provost
