New Student Receptions

During the summer, New Student Receptions will be held across the country so parents and students can meet other incoming students and families. At these receptions, you will also meet current Wake Forest students and staff and have an opportunity to ask questions of the experts.

Receptions are typically held from late June through early August. You may attend the reception that is most convenient, whether it is in your hometown or elsewhere (pre-registration is required in order to have an accurate count of attendees).

The list of New Student Receptions will grow throughout the summer as new sites and dates are added. Please check back frequently for updated information and to register (available in late May).

As of June 17, 2013, we anticipate holding receptions in the following cities (note: more may be added throughout the summer, and some locations have been removed due to small incoming student size).  Once the final invitation details are confirmed, we will add links to those cities’ individual reception pages.
