Apply to be an Aide

President’s Aides are student leaders who serve as representatives of Wake Forest University and the student body, and participate in a variety of University events throughout the academic year. In addition, President’s Aides meet regularly with President Susan R. Wente, providing an additional communication link between students and the administration.

Each President’s Aide is expected to attend as many of the scheduled events and obligations as possible. In an average semester, there are approximately ten events that involve some manner of participation by the President’s Aides.
