The past week has been a pretty good one for Wake Forest University students. On Friday, the Winston-Salem university lifted most of the remaining campus restrictions aimed at slowing the spread of COVID-19 among its students. The university followed that up Tuesday by telling students that it plans to hold commencement in person in May. In a message to 2021 graduates, Wake Forest said most undergraduate commencement activities will take place May 16 or May 17 â or possibly both days. One of those events is what President Nathan Hatch called "a large, celebratory event" for seniors at Truist Field â the Wake Forest football stadium â that will be "a high-energy event that you wonât want to miss."
