WAKEWashington Lovefeast Gathering

7:00 P.M. - 8:15 P.M.

The annual Wake Forest Christmas Lovefeast is one of our most cherished traditions, and we look forward to celebrating this highlight of the season with you. The Lovefeast will be live streamed from campus, allowing Wake Foresters around the country to experience the Lovefeast together as a community. Join your fellow Wake Forest alumni, parents, families, and friends at the Wake Washington Center on Sunday, December 8th as we spread the light of Pro Humanitate across the world as we celebrate Wake Forest's Christmas Lovefeast. In the spirit of Pro Humanitate, please consider bringing items to support the Georgetown Ministry Center, run by Executive Director and alum Kelly Andreae ('06).  They are in need of hand warmers, magic gloves, underwear and socks. If you are unable to secure these items, you can also bring store gift cards that can be used to purchase them. The Georgetown Ministry Center guides service-resistant, chronically homeless individuals towards stability through provision of a safe and welcoming environment where everyone is treated with respect, street outreach, and advocacy for the homeless. GMC seeks lasting solutions to homelessness one person at a time.

Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres served at 6 p.m. with the program beginning at 6:30 p.m. Registration includes a signed copy of The Arts of Leading: Perspectives from the Humanities and the Liberal Arts.

Join the editors of The Arts of Leading, Michael Lamb (Wake Forest University) and Ed Brooks (Oxford Character Project), along with Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw (University of Pennsylvania) and Marjorie Hass (Council of Independent Colleges), for a panel discussion on the power of arts and humanities to unsettle common assumptions about leadership and offer new contexts.
