About Winston-Salem
• City Population: 185,776.
• Wake Forest, Greensboro and High Point make up an
area known as the Piedmont Triad which has a total
population of more than 1.2 million, the 36th largest
metropolitan area in the United States.
• The first Arts Council in the United States was
founded in Winston-Salem in 1949, and the city is
ranked No. 3 in the nation in giving to the arts per
capita.
• Winston-Salem is the headquarters of BB&T and
ranks among the largest banking centers in the U.S.
• Wake Forest was one of the first colleges in the
country to issue laptop computers to every entering
freshman. When students at Wake turn in their laptops
every two years for upgrades, Winston-Salem/Forsyth
County Schools acquire them to enhance classroom
technology.
• Wake Forest University has been rated by Yahoo!
Internet Life magazine as one of the most wired campuses in the country.
• Winston-Salem is ranked third among the nation’s
cities in giving to the United Way per capita.
• Business Development Outlook ranks Winston-Salem
among the top 20 cities nationally for its quality of life
and entrepreneurial track record.
• Tanglewood Park is the most premier park in North
Carolina that is publicly owned with two championship
golf courses, walking, bike and horse trails, and a
Festival of Lights show every winter.
• Winston-Salem has the lowest cost of living among
North Carolina metro areas according to the ACCRA
survey in the first quarter of 2000.
Although Winston-Salem was incorporated by
merger in 1913, the community here dates back to
1766, when members of the Moravian Church established Salem as the congregational town for what was
then called Wachovia, a large tract the Moravian
Church acquired for the use of its settlers.
The Moravians’ vision of creating a self-sufficient
community made Salem a haven for entrepreneurs.
Within a few years the town included a pottery, tannery,
brickyard, flour mill, bakery, slaughterhouse, brewery,
iron works, and cloth and furniture makers.
Salem’s manufacturing prowess gave it a prominent role as a supplier during the American Revolution
and the Civil War. Along the way, the city of Winston
was founded north of Salem to serve as the county seat
when Forsyth County was chartered in 1849.
The years after the Civil War catapulted the city to
national prominence as a manufacturing center. This
rise is often dated to the arrival of R.J. Reynolds in
1874. Reynolds was attracted by the quality of tobacco
the area produced, but he wasn’t the only one: Brothers
P.H. and J.W. Hanes had the largest tobacco factory in
town, and there were 15 tobacco factories by 1878.
Later, the Hanes brothers would sell their tobacco
company and start a clothing business even as
Reynolds became the largest tobacco company in the
United States. The success of these industries, and of
the companies that supplied them, brought wealth to
the community that fueled the start-up of other successful businesses, among them, Piedmont Airlines,
Krispy Kreme doughnuts, T.W. Gardner Food Co. and
Goody’s headache powders.
Winston-Salem’s manufacturing base has always
ensured a healthy banking industry; with deregulation,
financial services have become an important component of the local economy. Today Winston-Salem is
home to BB&T Corporation, making the city the 11th
largest banking center in the United States.
Concurrent with the rise of banking in the 1980s
and ‘90s has been the growth of medicine and health
Fourth Street in downtown
Winston-Salem
care. Novant Health and the Wake Forest University
Baptist Hospital Medical Center each operate 800-bed
regional medical centers that are the flagships for
large, diversified medical services corporations.
The rise of medicine has also spurred the city’s
growth as a technology center. The Piedmont Triad
Research Park, located downtown, is home to 20 companies, including four biomedical companies spun out
of research at Wake Forest University School of
Medicine.
Winston-Salem has long been a leader in promoting the arts. The first arts council in the United States
incorporated here in 1949; currently the city ranks third
nationally in per-capita giving to the arts. WinstonSalem is home to the North Carolina School of the Arts,
the Southeast Center for Contemporary Art, and the
National Black Theater Festival.
• 47% of North Carolina’s computer and data processing facilities are in the Piedmont Triad region.
• Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and
Novant Health have helped to earn Winston-Salem a
reputation as a regional and national center for medical research, development, and treatment. The medical industry in Forsyth County comprises more than
12% of the area’s total employment, creating over
5,000 jobs in the last eight years.
• Winston-Salem Parks and Recreation Department
owns over 3,500 acres of park space, divided into 75
parks, 20 recreation centers, 50 soccer fields, 46 softball fields, 110 tennis courts, nine swimming pools, 20
fitness trails, 30 outdoor basketball courts, four outdoor sand volleyball courts, two golf courses and two
lakes.
• Winston-Salem is one of the largest cities in North
Carolina and Forsyth County is the state’s fifth largest.
The city also has the third largest per capita income in
North Carolina ($29,337).

YOUR Deacon Club contribution and support
goes toward the funding of our Wake Forest
Student-Athlete Scholarships.
NCAA Compliance
Wake Forest University is proud and thankful to have
the loyal support and continued interest of our alumni,
donors and friends in Wake Forest Athletics. Your support and involvement with our athletics program is
critical to its success; however, please know that any

Athletics; you are enabling a student-athlete to obtain an education from one of the
best universities in the nation.
On behalf of everyone at the Deacon Club, thank you for your past generosity in support of Wake Forest Athletics. Thanks to members like you, this university has been
able to provide opportunities to high-level student-athletes who have chosen to represent Wake Forest University on fields and courts - and in classrooms and communities. Many do not realize that when a student-athlete signs a scholarship with Wake
Forest, our Athletic Department is committing to pay for that scholarship. Today's
scholarship costs total more than $8 million. Your contribution to the Deacon Club
helps to cover the cost of these athletic scholarships and allows our athletic department to continue to strive to be one of the best overall programs in the country.

approved by the Board of Trustees last winter to succeed Thomas K. Hearn Jr., who retired after leading
the University for 22 years. His inauguration will be
held October 20 in Wait Chapel.
Dr. Hatch, a Presbyterian, joined the history
faculty at Notre Dame in 1975. Through a succession
of administrative appointments-as associate dean
and acting dean of the College of Arts and Letters,
vice president for graduate studies and research, and
finally provost-he amassed a strong record of directing undergraduate, graduate and professional programs. He had served as provost, the university's second highest-ranking official, since 1996, the first
Protestant to serve in that position.
Dr. Hatch, 59, also held an appointment at
Notre Dame as the Andrew V. Tackes Professor of
History. He is regularly cited as one of the most influential scholars in the study of the history of religion in
America. He won national acclaim for his 1989 book,
"The Democratization of American Christianity,"
which garnered three major awards and was chosen
in a survey of 2,000 historians and sociologists as one
of the two most important books in the study of
American religion. He is also the author or editor of
seven other books on religion.
Coming to Wake Forest is a "homecoming of
sorts," said Dr. Hatch, who grew up in Columbia, S.C.,
as the son of a Presbyterian minister. He and his wife,
Julie, a former public school teacher, have three children: Gregg, a 1997 graduate of Notre Dame who is a
hospital administrator in South Bend, Ind.; David, a
2000 Notre Dame graduate who works for a financial
organization in Chicago; and Beth, a junior at Notre
Dame majoring in American Studies and theology.
At Notre Dame, Dr. Hatch was known as a serious sports fan, who frequently took to the basketball
court. "Becoming part of Wake Forest is not difficult
for someone who still hazards to play basketball several times a week-and who, in his youth, drank at no
spring other than ACC basketball," he said in his
acceptance speech. "In Columbia, S.C., I attended
University High School on the campus of the
University of South Carolina-then still a part of the
Atlantic Coast Conference. Our gym was only half a
block from USC's Field House. I clearly remember
30
going to see Bones McKinney coach that great Wake
Forest team that included Billy Packer and Lenny
Chappel. I also remember seeing Wake Forest's heralded quarterback Norm Snead single-handedly dismantle a favored University of South Carolina squad."
Dr. Hatch says he intends to be a student during the early part of his administration "to learn as
much as I can about this great university." Prior to
moving to Winston-Salem in July, he had already
made eight trips to campus to meet with faculty,
staff, students and alumni. "In beginning this journey
of discovery, I have a set of questions to ask," he told
the Alumni Council in February. "Where is Wake Forest
today? What are its strengths, its liabilities? Are we
poised and hungry for the next opportunity? What are
our greatest opportunities and, are we prepared to
seize them."
Dr. Hatch received his undergraduate degree
from Wheaton College in 1968 and his master's and
doctoral degrees from Washington University in St.
Louis. He was awarded post-doctoral fellowships at
Harvard and Johns Hopkins universities before joining
the history department at Notre Dame. During the
early part of his teaching career, he received the college's Paul Fenion Award for excellence in undergraduate teaching. He directed the history department's
graduate studies programs in the early 1980s.
He was named associate dean of the College of
Arts and Letters-the largest of the four undergraduate
colleges at Notre Dame-in 1983, and served as acting
dean from 1988 to 1989. During that time, he founded and directed the Institute for Scholarship in the
Liberal Arts, which led to a significant increase in
external research funding for faculty in the humanities and social sciences. As vice president for graduate studies and research from 1989 until being
named provost in 1996, he oversaw Notre Dame's
master's degree and doctoral programs.
Dr. Hatch was appointed in 2000 by President
Clinton to the National Council on the Humanities, the
26-person advisory board for the National Endowment
for the Humanities. He is a former president of the
American Society of Church History and a former
member of the National Advisory Board of the
Salvation Army. In South Bend, Indiana, he chaired
the St. Joseph Medical Center board and served on the
local United Way board of directors.
His selection as president marked the end of a
national search process that began following Dr.
Hearn's announcement in April 2004 that he would
retire June 30, 2005.

Dr. Richard Carmichael
Faculty Athletic Representative
23rd Year At Wake Forest * Wake Forest, 1964
Dr. Richard Carmichael was appointed Wake Forest’s Faculty Athletic representative in
July of 2003. He succeeded Dr. Ed Wilson, who retired following over 50 years of service to the
school, including 15 seasons as the Faculty Athletic Representative.
Dr. Carmichael brings long-time Wake Forest ties to the post as well. A 1964 graduate
of the University with a degree in mathematics, he is currently the Chair of the Department of
Mathematics, a post he has held since 1988.
Born March 13, 1942 in High Point, N.C., Carmichael graduated from High Point High
in 1960 and attended Wake Forest on a basketball scholarship. Playing under legendary coach
Bones McKinney, Carmichael helped the Demon Deacons reach the Final Four in 1962, the only
Wake Forest team to ever do so. Carmichael played three seasons, from 1962-64, accumulating 584 career points and 340 rebounds.
After graduating from Wake Forest, Carmichael went to graduate school at Duke
University, where he received his master’s degree in 1966 and his Ph.D. in mathematics in
1968. From there Carmichael took his first job as an assistant professor, teaching mathematics at Virginia Tech. In 1971, after three years in Blacksburg, Carmichael returned to his
alma mater, and is now professor of mathematics.
Carmichael has held visiting positions at UC-Davis, Iowa State and New Mexico State
throughout his career and has earned appointed or elected professional positions in the
Mathematical Association of America and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
He has served on numerous committees at Wake Forest. Carmichael has also published
numerous mathematical works, including two books.
An avid sports fan and devout follower of Demon Deacon athletics, Carmichael also
enjoys helping the Wake Forest athletic media relations department in keeping statistics at
home football and basketball games -- a service he has provided since 1980.

The Ron Wellman File
Born

Ron Wellman
Athletic Director
13th Year At Wake Forest * Bowling Green, 1970
Ron Wellman, who has elevated Wake Forest
University athletics to its highest level ever and committed to preparing the program for greater success in the
future, enters his 13th year as director of athletics.
Wellman, who was officially named athletic director in October of 1992, is only the fifth man to assume
the top position in the athletic department at Wake Forest
during the modern era of intercollegiate sports, following
Pat Preston, Jim Weaver, Bill Gibson and Dr. Gene Hooks,
WFU’s athletic director from 1964 through 1992.
Since taking over control of WFU Athletics,
Wellman has seen Deacon athletic teams rise to national prominence in several sports while perennially competing for Atlantic Coast Conference championships.
The 2004-05 academic year was an example of
Wake Forest competing at the highest level.
All totaled, 10 Wake Forest teams participated in
NCAA postseason play and ranked in the top 25. The field
hockey team won its third straight national championship, men’s soccer won an ACC regular season title
and individually, field hockey player Kelly Dostal was the
ACC and National Player of the Year.
Off the playing fields, Wellman has spearheaded
an effort for the overall development of the student-athlete. He asks his coaches to stress academics and
Wellman has instituted programs to assist and develop
student-athletes away from competition such as the
annual Academic Excellence Banquet, a campus-wide
affair which honors those student-athletes who have
achieved in the classroom.
Another obvious sign of the progress Wake Forest
has made - and is continuing to make - under Wellman’s
leadership is the ambitious facility improvement program that the athletic department has undertaken.
In 2004, Kentner Stadium, home of the Wake Forest
field hockey and track programs, received a facelift as a
new FieldTurf and surrounding track surface was
installed. At the same time, a new playing surface was
installed at the football practice facility.
Two years ago, the Pruitt Football Center was completely gutted and renovated into new office and meeting
space for the Deacon football team and staff. There have
been significant facility improvements at Joel Coliseum,
home of the Wake Forest basketball teams, including a
new state-of-the art locker room facility.
And, there is the spectacular Bridger Field House
at Groves Stadium, which provides support to every varsity team as well as the athletic department administration and entire university with its many services.
The Kenneth D. Miller Center, which opened its
doors in 2001, provides additional space for the StudentAthlete Services and CHAMPS programs, as well as a new
state-of-the-art practice facility for the Demon Deacon
men’s and women’s basketball teams. The Miller Center
also includes a spacious fitness center, which is available for use by all students, faculty and staff.
32
The dean of all ACC athletic directors, Wellman
has also taken an active role on the national level.
Wellman serves as chairman of the NCAA Division I
Management Council.
Recently he served as chairman of the NCAA
Baseball Committee and directed the implementation of
a new and expanded national tournament format, creating significant interest in that event. Wellman also
serves as vice-president of the Division I-A Athletic
Directors’ Association.
Wellman’s successful career in college athletics
includes both coaching and administration on a variety
of levels.
Born in Celina, Ohio, he earned his undergraduate
degree from Bowling Green State University, where he
was a pitcher on the baseball team.
After receiving a master’s from Bowling Green, he
joined the faculty and coaching staff at Elmhurst (IL)
College in 1971, serving as head baseball coach, assistant basketball coach, assistant football coach and
associate professor of health and physical education.
In 1977, Wellman became Elmhurst’s athletic
director and guided the NCAA Division III program to new
heights. A total renovation of the athletic facilities at
Elmhurst was undertaken under his direction and every
sport at the school improved its won-lost record during
his tenure. Elmhurst recognized Wellman’s contribution
to its program in 1985 by naming him to its Hall of Fame.
His accomplishments as a baseball coach were
substantial as well. Elmhurst teams won more than 200
games (210-136) under his leadership, and in five of his
last seven years there, he was named conference coachof-the-year.
That success continued in 1981 when Wellman
became head baseball coach at Northwestern. In five
years, his squads compiled a 180-97 record (65.0 winning percentage) and 15 of his players signed professional contracts. Additionally, his 1984 team set a
school record with 44 victories.
Equally noteworthy was that in his final three
years at Northwestern (1984-86), 18 of his players
achieved either Academic All-America or Academic AllBig Ten honors.
Wellman began devoting his energies to athletic
administration on a fulltime basis in 1986 when he was
named athletic director at Mankato State (MN)
University. In July 1987, he accepted the athletic directorship at Illinois State in July 1987.
Wellman and his wife Linda have three daughters
-- Angie, who works for Career Sports and Entertainment
in Atlanta and was married to Tim Lynde in October;
Nicole, a pediatric resident, and her husband, Kevin Rice,
live in Winston-Salem; and Melissa, a fourth grade
teacher, and her husband, Ben Norman, live in
Greensboro. Both Melissa and Nicole earned their undergraduate and advanced degrees from Wake Forest.
