Online Resources
Wake Forest has developed a range of online resources for learning and life. The online connections we can all share right now are important to our well-being and sense of community. To strengthen these connections, we offer here a variety of learning opportunities from across the university that are available to you with just a couple of clicks.
The Continuing Studies Office does not have detailed information on everything you will find on these campus resource pages, so we encourage you to reach out to the particular office or department for details. If you would like to learn more about our credit and non-credit programs in Continuing Studies, click on the dropdown menus for Liberal Arts Studies and Lifelong Learning above.
HELPING OURSELVES AND OTHERS
In a time of global crisis, we need to take care of our own well-being, and do whatever we can to help others — in our families, organizations, and communities.
Taking Care of You: Well-Being and Practical Concerns

COVID-19’s impact on our lives
The worldwide pandemic is affecting every aspect of our lives, in our communities, regions, nations, and global relationships. One of our strengths as a liberal arts university is that we can draw upon accomplished scholars in a wide variety of fields for wisdom on how to think about this virus, respond to it, and prepare for what may lie ahead. We hope you will find these resources helpful, and we will keep adding to them along the way.
