Events
In addition to WAKECommunities events that occur regionally, there are signature events that are traditional to the annual calendar. Attending alumni engagement events in your area or when on campus provides valuable connectivity with Wake Foresters. Some of our annual events are featured below.
Alumni Admissions Forum
Biannual event for alumni and their high school aged children to learn about the college admissions process and the Wake Forest student experience. This fall, we will have an on-campus Alumni Admissions Forum on Friday, November 6, 2026 and a virtual program on the evening of Wednesday, November 18, 2026.
Homecoming & Reunion Weekend
Each year over 4,000 alumni, friends, and families participate in this special weekend to reconnect with classmates, visit faculty, and experience Party So Dear, Class Parties, Festival on the Quad, Alumni Tailgate, the football game, and so much more. Join us for Homecoming & Reunion Weekend November 6-8, 2026!
Pro Humanitate Days
Wake Foresters participate in the annual celebration of the Pro Humanitate spirit. WFU alumni, families, and friends are invited to serve their community either by joining one of our community-organized events or completing a project on their own during Pro Humanitate Days. #GoodWearsBlack. Be on the lookout for the 2027 Pro Humanitate Days dates.
Distinguished Alumni Awards
Each year the Wake Forest University Alumni Council presents awards to alumni whose achievements and recognition have reflected honor on their alma mater. The Distinguished Alumni Awards are conferred annually at a signature event that celebrates the achievements of each recipient.
