Letters So Dear
Throughout the year, current undergraduate students write letters to the incoming first-year class to offer inspiration and guidance. These letters provide insight into the life of an undergraduate Deac at Wake Forest. They are sent under the initiative of Dr. Cherise James, Director of Orientation, New Student, and Transitions Programs.
