Monthly Email Newsletter
Campus Recreation sends a monthly email newsletter to all seasoned professionals and retirees looking to stay involved with the Wellbeing Center and Campus Recreation. Highlighting upcoming events and happenings around campus, this is a great way to stay connected.
Monthly Gatherings
Campus Recreation hosts a monthly gathering for Wake Forest retirees and seasoned professionals in the Wellbeing Center Living room on the second Tuesday of the month from 10am to 11:30am. These events are at no cost to participants and offer coffee and tea. Join us for featured guest speakers each month to learn about retiree benefits, campus updates and more!
March 10th – Joel McIver – Vice President of Communication & Engagement, Senior Services
April 14th – WFU Human Resources
May 12th – Topic TBD
June 9th – Paul Whitener – Associate Director of Digital Fabrication and Maker Education, WakerSpace
Help us shape future gatherings! If you have ideas for future sessions, we welcome your recommendations — especially presenters who can share information about services, resources, or topics specifically relevant to senior adults. Suggestions might include experts on Medicare or Social Security, local arts and cultural offerings, wellness and safety programs, travel resources, or other practical topics that enrich life in retirement. While we deeply admire the lifelong academic work and research of our faculty, our focus for these sessions is on holistic wellness and practical services for seniors. Have an idea? Email us here!
