W AKE F OREST A LUMNI A SSOCIATIONPresident’s ColumnTHE ALUMNI COUNCIL, on behalf of the Wake Forest Alumni Association,as worked for the past two years to develop a strategic plan that has focusedon providing greater services and programs for alumni. One key goal was thedevelopment of a Lifelong Learning Program so that alumni could continueto enjoy courses taught by our outstanding faculty. The first class, on Americanreligion, was taught by Bill Leonard in June and was a great success.The Alumni Council has also focused on improving programming for WakeForest Clubs throughout the nation. Among our most well-attended Club eventsare our monthly networking luncheons that are held in major cities. This is agreat way to meet other Wake Foresters, exchange business information andideas, and build your personal network. Visit www.wfu.edu/alumni/clubs toget information on the club nearest you. The Clubs program is always lookingfor energetic volunteers to help plan events, so please consider working withyour local club—and bring a friend to the events!I hope you are planning to attend Homecoming weekend, which will beheld September 29–30. This year’s Homecoming is a celebration of Wake Forest’s50 years in Winston-Salem, and many special events are planned. The Class of1956—the last class to graduate from the old campus—will be inducted intothe Half Century Club. Classes ending in “1” and “6” will have reunion partiesand dinners.All Wake Foresters are invited to the 50th Anniversary Celebration programon Friday afternoon on Hearn Plaza followed by a reception. At the reception,Bobby Burchfield (’76), a former president of the Alumni Association, will receivethe 2006 Distinguished Alumni Award.On Saturday, September 30, the Service of Remembrance will be held inWait Chapel beginning at 9:30 a.m. And you won’t want to miss the Festival onthe Quad on Saturday morning. This family-friendly event brings WakeForesters of all ages to the Quad for free food, games for the kids, music by studentand faculty groups, and much more. The Festival is a great way to start themorning, followed by tailgating at Groves Stadium and the football game againstLiberty. A post-game party will be held at Bridger Field House. Visit the AlumniWeb page at www.wfu.edu/alumni for more details.I’d like to thank the Alumni Association past president Nancy Kuhn (’73) forher leadership with the Alumni Council and strategic plan. Also, I want to thankall alumni for their support as we seek to increase the number of alumni whosupport Wake Forest through gifts to the College Fund. Your participation—no matter what the amount—directly affects Wake Forest’s national rankingamong colleges and universities. In fact, due to your support, Wake Forest roseone spot to No. 18 in alumni giving, as reported in the fall’s U.S. News and WorldReport “America’s Best Colleges.” Please join me and make a gift today.Finally, I’d like to extend a special welcome to the children of alumni whohave enrolled as freshmen this fall. There are nearly 100 alumni children in theClass of 2010. Of those, 18 come from families where both parents hold WakeForest degrees. Wake Forest truly runs in the family!C L A S S N O T E SRuffin Branham (’69)Alumni Association PresidentA new arch, completed over the summer,marks the entrance to Hearn Plaza.www.wfu.edu/alumni SEPTEMBER JUNE 2005 2006 39
