New Staff Members Join Leadership & Character
Our expanding team will help us extend the Program’s mission at Wake Forest and beyond.
Since the beginning of the summer, more than a dozen new staff members have joined the Program for Leadership and Character. They represent teaching faculty, administrative and support staff, student programming staff, and members of our new Educating Character Initiative, which supports other colleges and universities focused on educating character.
“We’re happy that our team continues to bring together people with diverse backgrounds, training, expertise, and life experiences to advance our mission,” says Executive Director Michael Lamb. “We’re grateful to the Lilly Endowment, Kern Family Foundation, and other contributors for supporting these grant-funded positions; to the departments and schools partnering with us to host affiliated faculty and staff; and to Wake Forest for continuing to lead the way as an institution that educates the whole person and helps students become leaders of character on this campus and beyond.”
