Why We’re Here

The vision of Wake Forest in Washington is to raise the profile and tangible presence of Wake Forest University in Washington, D.C. and have a discernible role in the national conversations on the policies, laws and central issues facing this country and our world.

Our presence here starts with academic programs and is fortified by more than 9,000 Wake Forest alumni, families and friends who live and work in the Washington area, many of whom have established themselves as leaders in the community. By building a bridge between our nation’s capital and our campus in Winston-Salem, we are able to forge a pathway for students and alumni to live out Pro Humanitate on the national and global stage.
