Through interdisciplinary collaboration and community engagement, Wake Forest students and faculty generate meaningful impact that reaches far beyond our campus. Our commitment to academic excellence establishes Wake Forest as a global leader in developing solutions that benefit society.
The School of Medicine is welcoming the Class of 2029 to its two campuses, including the inaugural class of students to its new Charlotte campus. Previously the largest U.S. city without a four-year medical school, the arrival of this first class of students marks a transformative step in expanding access to medical education and advancing health care innovation across the Southeast and beyond.
A new study published by Wake Forest University and an international team of scientists reveals that tree communities across the Amazon and Andes are not adapting quickly enough to climate change, with major implications for the future of tropical biodiversity and ecosystem services like climate regulation and pollination.
High School teacher Cristofer Wiley ('03, MAEd '04) hopes his students “understand their agency in their own outcomes, … empathize with people unlike themselves … and do the right thing whenever they can.”
Pro Humanitate (for humanity) invites us to use our ideas, knowledge, talents and compassion on behalf of humanity in all its difference and diversity.

@wakeforestbiz Professor of Management Julie Wayne studies the “invisible family load” and who carries it. Her research confirms what many parents already know: women carry more of this load than men. She has also found that the work causes fatigue and stress.
