Sunday evening we sent a message to make you aware about increased security on campus. The increased police presence is due to an unsubstantiated threat made against the campus. We remain in consultation with local law enforcement and believe that campus is safe to conduct classes and normal business operations.

We realize the lack of details may be concerning. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any additional information at this time other than to affirm that the investigation is still active.

We will communicate with campus as updates are available.

Wake Forest is staffing a call center to address concerns from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, December 3. The number for the call center is 336-758-8731. Updates will be posted to wakealert.wfu.edu.

Additionally, Wake Forest offers support and counseling services for all students, faculty and staff. The University Counseling Center may be reached at 336-758-5273, the Chaplain’s Office at 336-758-5210. For faculty and staff, there is also the Employee Assistance Program at 336-716-5493.
