Over the past year, more than 30 faculty, staff, and alumni came together to support Wake Forest students as they pursued prestigious scholarship opportunities along with some of the finest young minds in the country. This work involved reviewing student applications, interviewing candidates, and offering tailored feedback to help strengthen the students’ materials. Committee members also served on mock interview panels to help prepare students who made it to the finalist rounds of their competitions. This collective network of support selected 50 Wake Forest nominees for the most competitive of national awards, which require university nomination.

Such vital service helps expand our students’ understanding of what is possible to achieve and the value of their own accomplishments. This also demonstrates our faculty’s commitment to the Teacher-Scholar ideal, and speaks to the commitment of staff members, alumni, and the collective campus community that is tremendously invested in our students’ development.
