Wake Forest Medical Campus |
Founded in 1834 by members of the Baptist religious faith as the Wake Forest Literary and Manual Labor Institution to educate principally the sons of farmers and clergy in that era and location near Raleigh, North Carolina, it grew in the town of Wake Forest to become the largest Baptist college in North Carolina and one of the most respected of that denomination in the nation. In order to join with the Bowman Gray School of Medicine and state Baptist hospital center, the college moved to its current campus in Winston-Salem in 1956, aided by the gift of the beautiful 320-acre estate of tobacco magnate R. J. Reynolds for the new campus site and major funding of construction as well as continuing support of the college by the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation. | |||||
| With this move, the university now occupies two nearby campuses: the Reynolda campus of the liberal arts college and university including Ph.D. programs in physics, chemistry, and biology, graduate programs in other disciplines, and professional schools of Law, Business & Accountancy, and Theology, and the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center campus with many disciplines and graduate programs that can be accessed at the above link, including biomedical engineering conducted jointly with Virginia Polytechnic Institute. | ||||||
| The SCINT conference will be held on the Reynolda campus, under auspices of the Department of Physics. You are invited to peruse the Physics link for an introduction to its research programs in condensed matter physics, nanoscience, biophysics, gravitation and astrophysics, and others, as well as current activities and academic offerings. Links to other departments on both campuses are accessible through the University and Medical School home pages referenced above. |
