What’s your favorite thing about Wake Forest?
I absolutely love all the trees on campus. During the spring, I love seeing all the cherry blossoms, magnolias, redbuds, and dogwoods in bloom. Then comes fall and all the maples and Japanese maples put on a fantastic display of autumnal colors! I just cannot get enough of it! I also think I have some of the most amazing colleagues, which is just the icing on the cake!
