Alumni Discussion Group – Less Stressed and More Fulfilled: Finding Balance at Work and in Life|Thursday, November 13, 2025, 9:00-10:00am ET on Zoom

We all know the benefits of work-life balance, but sometimes it seems completely out of reach. If you’ve been feeling drained, overwhelmed or stretched thin, join your fellow alums for conversation and practical tips on how to build better balance and find more meaning and satisfaction in work and life, one step at a time. This discussion will be facilitated by WFU alumna and  personal/professional development coach Amy Shuman (MAED ’99), so please come ready to participate and share with your fellow Deacs. Please note this is an alumni-only event!

Get Unstuck: The Wake Forest University Alumni Career Development Conference | Saturday, January 31, 2026, 9:00am-3:00pm | WFU Charlotte Center (registration is open!)

This inaugural conference, hosted by the WFU Alumni Personal & Career Development Center, is for any WFU alum looking for tactical job search strategies and tools, guidance on effectively navigating transitions, community and connection with the Wake Forest network, and encouragement as they seek their next steps.
