A quasi-solution to the blog
Well, now that my hand surgery has reduced me to hunting and pecking : ) for a few days, I thought I’d link you to a couple of alumni-relates stories in the Old Gold and Black. Props to our current OGB writers for focusing on alumni!
“We all know about Tim Duncan, Chris Paul, Brian Piccolo, Arnold Palmer and all of those freaking athletes, but with our small size and location, we do not often hear about notable alumni outside of the sports realm.
There are a few. Granted there haven’t been any US Presidents or major Hollywood players, but there have been those that have brought attention to the University by making their mark on the world. In a society where celebrities are not usually those behind the scenes, you may not know all of these names, but each of these alums has accomplished a lot since their Demon Deacon days.” http://www.oldgoldandblack.com/l_article/wait_they_went_to_wake/
“A university alumnus who was a star within the “Wake Forest Bubble” has gone on to find even greater success in the outside world. Christopher Magiera, an operatic singer who received a Bachelor of Arts from Wake Forest, is now a prominent voice on the national opera scene.” http://www.oldgoldandblack.com/article/alumnus_makes_waves_in_musical_world/
Magiera graduated from the university in 2005 after a distinguished career which included membership in the Wake Forest Concert Choir, and a cappella group Temporary Reprieve and a role in L’isola disabiata, which the university produced in his senior year.
