SIGNATURE PROGRAMS & INITIATIVES
World Cultural Fest is hosted yearly. Student and community organizations showcase artistic expressions from worldwide cultures. Over 350 people attend annually, immersing themselves in a unique cultural experience on campus. ROOTS First-Year Initiative is designed to assist Wake Forest students in their transition to college, while considering the experiences of students of color. The goal is to equip participating first-year students with the necessary tools to succeed at Wake such as peer mentorship, exposure to campus resources, and social events geared toward increasing their sense of belonging. Heritage Month Programming occurs throughout the academic year. The IC leads Asian Heritage Month, Black History Month, Latinx Heritage Month, and Native American Heritage Month to celebrate, educate, and honor members of these identities. Each month brings together campus partners, student organizations, and community members to create a calendar of events ranging from intergroup dialogues, keynote speakers, social events, films, and much more.
