At the heart of Wake Forest is the teacher scholar ideal.

At the core of Wake Forest University lies our unwavering dedication to the teacher-scholar ideal. This distinctive model propels students beyond traditional classroom boundaries, immersing them in authentic environments—be it groundbreaking scientific research or riveting artistic performances. The Office of the Provost stands as a pillar of support in this educational pursuit, ensuring faculty have access to the vital resources required to guide students on this transformative journey.

The Office of the Provost came together today in honor of World Mental Health Day.

In support of the campus-wide We Are Wake initiative ( @wfucampuslife ), our goal is to help elevate our collective conscious of care on campus. Aligning with our motto, Pro Humanitate, the office is here for our students, staff, faculty, and all who make up our Wake Forest community. 💚

One of the highlights of the day is a conversation with all 6 of our incredible Deans. This year, @wakediv Dean Corey D. B. Walker closed us out with a moving and inspiring message about beginning anew, expanding our intellectual horizons, and our commitment to #prohumanitate.
