What. A. Deacs. Day. Of. Giving.
Thanks to the incredible Wake Forest Law community, we set a new historical record—surpassing last year in both total dollars raised and number of donors.
➡️ $240,300 raised
➡️ 218 donors
➡️ $140,000 in new scholarship support
Because of you, our #LegalDeacs will have even greater access to scholarships, hands-on learning, and opportunities that shape their futures.
We’re also proud to be among the top-performing schools in this year’s Wake Forest Fund.
Thank you for showing up for our students and for this community. @wfualumni
With a background in computer science, Emile Thompson (JD ’10) found his way to the law.
Now, as Chair of the DC Public Service Commission, he’s combining science and the law to help shape the future of clean energy. Read more at the link in our bio.
On March 28, 2026, students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of Wake Forest Law will gather at Joymongers for the Public Interest Law Organization’s (PILO) annual Spring Auction—one of the Law School’s most anticipated and beloved traditions. Faculty- and staff-donated experiences and gifts from local businesses will be auctioned off, but the heart of the evening extends well beyond the bidding. The event serves as PILO’s largest fundraiser, directly supporting summer grants for students pursuing public-interest work.
