New Student Receptions

During the summer, New Student Receptions will be held across the country so you and your family can meet other incoming first-year students and families from your area, as well as current Wake Forest students and staff.

Be sure to register for the reception you plan to attend (registration is required so we have an accurate count of attendees); registration will be available in late May or beginning of June. You may attend the reception that is most convenient, whether or not it is in your hometown.

We hope to see you this summer! Please check this website frequently throughout the summer for updated information.
