Four-star clubs
Four Wake Forest clubs have been especially busy this year and have
been named “Four-Star Clubs,” a new designation to recognize outstanding
alumni clubs.
The Atlanta club–led by co-presidents Lisa Snodgrass (’95) and
Mary Beth Magee (’89) and young alumni president Joe Kaufman
(’94)–held numerous athletic and arts events, including trips to see
Atlanta Hawks and Atlanta Thrashers games and excursions to the
Callanwolde Fine Arts Center, the Baroque Opera at the Center for
the Puppetry Arts, and a Twyla Tharp dance production.
The Charlotte club–under the direction of president David
Winslow (’94) and young alumni presidents Leah Grace (’00) and
Meredith McDonald–raised money for the American Cancer Society
at a Relay for Life charity event, held several game-watching parties,
and met for a wine tasting event at Reid’s Fine Foods.
The Dallas club – led by president Lyn Johnston (’77) and
young alumni president Courtenay Strey (’98) – participated in a
Habitat for Humanity building project and had numerous gamewatching
parties, a potluck dinner and a women’s tea.
The Winston-Salem club, due to the efforts of president Greg
Hunter (’92) and young alumni co-presidents Heather Bailiff (’99)
and Stephanie Hudson (’00), volunteered at the Ronald McDonald
House and at the 2002 Homecoming Festival on the Quad, and met
for several mixers and tailgate parties.

Robert S. Carlson, the first dean of the Babcock Graduate
School of Management, died on Oct. 6 following a traffic
accident in Hin Hua, Thailand. He was 68.
Carlson was on vacation from his position at Asian
University of Science and Technology in Chon Buri, Thailand,
where he taught courses in business policy and international
finance. He was also helping start an MBA program there.
He was dean of the Babcock School from its founding in
1969 until 1971, but he continued to teach there until 1987.
Although he served as dean for only two years, he was credited
with establishing the school’s atmosphere of free discussion
between faculty and students and its emphasis on international
study. He organized trips to Europe so students could study
international finance firsthand. His love of travel led him to take
visiting professorships at universities in Alaska, Hawaii and
Thailand, after leaving Wake Forest.
A native of Chicago, Carlson graduated from Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and, after a stint in the Navy, earned his
MBA and PhD in business finance from Stanford University.
Before coming to Wake Forest, he taught at the graduate business
schools at Columbia and Harvard and at schools in
Turkey and Norway. He wrote numerous articles and cases
and a textbook on international finance. He is survived by two
children, three grandchildren and two sisters.
