For more on expectations surrounding living in community at Wake Forest, please take time to review the Guide to Community Living and Student Handbook .
Faculty Fellows
The Faculty Fellows Program was created to build community and increase faculty-student engagement, especially outside of the classroom, providing engaging discussions and activities within and beyond our residence halls.

 Faculty Fellows are a group of faculty members assigned to your residence hall who will plan community-building e vents, and be available for informal interaction and advising. To find out more about the Faculty Fellows program, and learn who the Faculty Fellows are for your residence hall, please visit the South Forest website .
