2025 Milestones Recognition
Congratulations to the 318 faculty and staff members who celebrated a milestone in 2025! Together, they have completed 4,465 years of service at Wake Forest; the University thanks them for their time, passion, and dedication.
Within this group, two faculty members celebrated an outstanding 50 years at Wake Forest: Dr. Ellen Kirkman, Professor of Mathematics, and Dr. Willie Hinze, Professor of Chemistry. They started their WFU careers in 1975, when Dr. James Ralph Scales was president and the men’s golf team won its second national championship.
Additionally, one staff member celebrated 45 years at Wake — Reid Morgan, Board Secretary Emeritus. Reid arrived at Wake Forest in 1980, the same year that Pac Man was released and the Demon Deacons football team secured a three-way tie for fourth place in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Check out the video below featuring a few colleagues reflecting on their time at the University, and flip through a photo album of images from the fall celebration.
