description

The Summer 2025 issue of Wake Forest Magazine explores the transformative power of creativity across alumni, faculty, and student experiences. Through feature articles and personal profiles, the magazine highlights a range of dynamic voices, from alumni who are making waves in Nashville’s music scene to faculty deploying fresh thinking to solve global problems. Wake Forest alumni featured include singer-songwriters like Dan Harrison, The Hobbs Sisters, and Andy Albert, who found both inspiration and community in Music City. The issue also shares the creative research journeys of professors in disciplines as varied as computer science, communication, and economics — from analyzing grocery store checkout lines to protect against cyber threats, to employing economic models to fight rhino poaching. Visual artist and teaching professor Leigh Ann Hallberg reflects on her retirement and her meditative artistic process in her “Phenoms” painting series, inspired by years of walking the Reynolda campus with her rescue dog. A Q&A with Brooklyn DJ and creative Spurge Carter (’14) underscores the enduring role of creative space and collaboration in sustaining artistic work. The issue also includes regular updates on commencement, faculty retirements, alumni achievements, and philanthropy, including a historic $30 million gift to expand the University’s Center for Entrepreneurship.
