so proud of my school @wakeforest.bsky.social 🖤💛 for making this big step!
Wake Forest's new tuition policy is economics theory in practice 📊 Eliminating financial barriers expands access, increases human capital formation, and generates positive spillovers for NC's economy. We're excited to welcome the talent this policy will attract! #GoDeacs
