Creating Opportunity.
Transforming Lives.
Wake Forest’s greatest impact has always been found by honoring the promise of Pro Humanitate through the development of young minds with goals and aspirations that extend far beyond themselves. When we create life-changing opportunities at Wake Forest, we deliver the mission of Pro Humanitate to the world.
Chasing the Complex Problems of Our Day
One of the most distinctive aspects of Wake Forest is the ability for students to engage in mentored research with faculty mentors. This story highlights some of the all-star student researchers who have been working to solve the complex problems of the day.

A five-year financial commitment to a giving society provides the University with the foundation it needs to face both challenges and opportunities. Welcome to the place where the most loyal of Wake Foresters choose to hang their top hats.
With Gratitude
“Since having the opportunity to come to Wake Forest, I have noticed a tremendous development in my character that is far beyond the confines of work. Every week, I see small changes in myself, ranging from increased self-confidence to a raised level of accountability both in the office and in my home. This growth is a direct result of the immersive environment of the classroom, which is constantly engaging as great minds and concepts echo from our professors and students alike. Our cohort is working to embody our motto Pro Humanitate by first recognizing that our success as students is measured by the success of our class, not just as an individual.”

Recipient of the Dale and Karen Sisel Scholarship
What a Gift
When Sarah Locke (MA ’20) and Itamar Lewin-Arundale (’18, MA ’21) got married in Colorado in July 2023, the two communication grad students made the registry pretty simple for their guests: Give opportunities to other people by contributing to the master’s program at Wake Forest.
