It’s one of my favorite days on campus! Wake Forest Stats is participating in #HitTheBricks and raising money for the Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund. A little rain won’t stop us from running all day for a good cause!

🏃‍♀️ Dr. Staci Hepler kicked off our department's team for "Hit the Bricks" this morning at Wake Forest University. Other faculty, students, and staff will keep the team going all day for this relay to raise money for the Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist.

🏆 Wake Stats took home first place yesterday at "Hit the Bricks!" They ran the most laps and raised over $960 for cancer research. This department runs models AND miles! #SmallDepartmentBigImpact

Another year of the Chicago Marathon massively fumbling its TV and streaming coverage of a good race featuring top American women. Absurd.

🔥 Hot take: WS/FC Schools teachers should not be required to use personal days or take a day without pay on snow days. It’s like we want there to be a teacher shortage. If we can’t pay our teachers more can we at least treat them better?!
