Our Winston-Salem, N.C., campus is home to an academic community of almost 9,000 students, with more studying at Wake Forest locations in Charlotte, Washington, D.C., and around the world. A strong undergraduate liberal arts curriculum inspires a holistic approach to preparing graduate and professional school students. We graduate leaders with integrity and courage who use their personal and professional success to make an impact on society.

Young leaders from six Indigenous nations in the Peruvian Amazon will head back home with a new vision and resources to tackle pressing environmental and social issues in their communities.
During their visit to Wake Forest this month, the Indigenous leader delegation spent several days on campus meeting with students, staff and faculty, sharing their stories and exchanging ideas with local indigenous leaders.
The program is called Connecting Cultures. The initiative is a collaboration between the U.S. Department of State, Wake Forest’s Center for Amazonian Scientific Innovation (CINCIA), and the University’s Center for Energy, the Environment and Sustainability (CEES), with additional funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and several other private funders.
Programming focused on topics impacting Indigenous communities in Peru, including conservation and territory management; tribal education; gender equality; community surveillance systems; and sustainable economic activities.
An accompanying art exhibit – “MINE: What is Ours in the Wake of Extraction?” at the University’s Lam Museum of Anthropology – opened during the delegation’s visit to campus. Indigenous leaders spoke with the crowd about mining in their territory and gave a slide presentation of what they are seeing in their communities.
