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.
Wake Forest students Jack Bradley (‘24), Maria Fernandez (‘26), Evan Harris (‘26) and Isabella Romine (‘26) have been awarded Fulbright Scholarships to conduct research and teach English during the 2026-2027 academic year. The award is designed to facilitate cultural exchange and increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and those of other countries.
Wake Forest has selected Pepsi Bottling Ventures as an exclusive beverage supplier. The 10-year agreement expands Wake Forest’s longstanding relationship with Pepsi beyond Athletics into a comprehensive collaboration serving Reynolda Campus, Wake Downtown and The Graylyn Estate.
When Wake Forest opened the gate, these students were off and running.

A golden evening to begin four years in the Forest. ✨
After a full day of moving in, #WFU30 gathered on the Quad with family and new friends to celebrate the start of their Wake Forest journey.
The next time this entire class gathers here may be on a Monday morning in May, four years from now.
There’s a lot of living, learning and growing to do between now and then. 🎩

One of the world’s fastest marathoners recently came to Wake Forest looking for a scientific edge.
John Korir, the fifth-fastest marathoner in the world, worked with researchers in the Department of Health and Exercise Science to pinpoint his lactate threshold and fine-tune his training and racing paces.
The connection to Wake Forest began with @wakeforestbiz alumni Emily and Keith Davis, owners of @fleetfeetws and @fleetfeetclemmons, whose years of service in Kenya brought them into contact with the Korir family. When Korir needed access to lactate testing, they knew where to turn.
“Now we are trying to bring science into my running,” Korir said.
The goal: help Korir get even faster as he prepares for the Valencia Marathon in December.
