Action Needed: Set up your Wake Network account

This message was sent to P’30 families who have not yet logged in to Wake Network

Dear [Your Name],

Welcome to Wake Forest! I’m sure you’re getting lots of exciting information from us as your student prepares to join us in August as a member of the Class of 2030. Our office is busy planning a series of events for you and your student this summer, and I wanted to reach out with a quick “pro-tip” to help make your registration experience as easy as possible.

To help you hit the ground running, I encourage you to take a moment to set up your Wake Network account. Think of this as your “all-access pass” to connect with Wake Forest. Once you are logged in, you can easily register for upcoming summer events, ensure your contact information is up to date, and begin connecting with other families in our community.

If you have trouble creating an account, we’re here for you! Please email w and my colleagues will be glad to assist. Our team is wonderful and will get you squared away quickly.

We are so happy to have you and your student here with us. I can’t wait to see your family on campus soon!

Go Deacs!

Janelle
