The safety and wellbeing of our campus community is the priority of Wake Forest University. Continuing to work toward university and departmental goals while navigating a balance between work and home life can be challenging. Faculty and staff are encouraged to use the various physical and mental wellbeing resources provided by the University whenever needed.
