“The law program gave my child the opportunity to learn about and network within the different branches of law which allowed her to narrow her focus prior to attending college and law school.” Parent, 2021 Law Institute
“I felt such a sense of belonging here. The medical sim labs were so cool and the hands-on experiences gave me a clear view into the world of medicine. I made a new best friend and realized what I want to pursue in my future. The leaders were so kind and really made all of us feel included, safe, and excited about Wake Forest!” Kristen, Medicine Institute
