The Questions We Haven’t Asked Yet:

Curiosity, Inquiry, and the Questions That Shape Who We Become

Academic Symposium | Inauguration of President Peter Rodriguez

Friday, Oct. 30, at 10:00 a.m. 
Brendle Recital Hall, Scales Fine Arts Center

In celebration of President Peter Rodriguez’s inauguration, Wake Forest faculty from across disciplines will consider the questions their work is generating now and in the future. Together, they will explore how curiosity can open unexpected paths to discovery, deepen understanding, and shape who we become. The symposium is built on the strength of Wake Forest’s integration of liberal arts, the sciences, and professional education in pursuit of questions that matter.
