One of the coolest mascots in the country comes from the smallest school in the ACC... It's Wake Forest!

The Demon Deacons have such a rich history of not only football players, but athletes from every sport!

Thank you Coach Dickert and @WakeFB for this awesome box!

In our competitive society, where it seems that only the strong and winners deserve to live, sport also teaches us how to lose. It forces us, in learning the art of losing, to confront our fragility, our limitations and our imperfections. It is through the experience of these limits that we open our hearts to hope. Athletes who never make mistakes, who never lose, do not exist.

👏 We are so excited to welcome @BhramarBioStat to @WakeForest/@wakeforestmed this week for our 3rd Annual Distinguished Lectureship in Statistics and Biostatistics! Faculty and students can't wait to hear about "The Importance of Statistical Thinking in an AI-Augmented World."

🔥 Hot take: @wsfcs teachers should not be required to use personal days or take a day without pay on snow days. It’s like we want there to be a teacher shortage. If we can’t pay our teachers more can we at least treat them better?!

Another year of the Chicago Marathon massively fumbling its TV and streaming coverage of a good race featuring top American women.

Absurd.
