Join the Wake Network

The Wake Network allows registered alumni, parents, and friends to maintain a closer relationship with Wake Forest. Use the Wake Network to get connected and stay connected: find other Demon Deacons with the searchable directory, stay up-to-date on the latest alumni events and Wake Forest news, and see what you need to do to become a Loyal DEAC! 

How do I get started? 

Stay in touch by setting up your Wake Network and Alumni Gmail accounts by following the steps below:

  1. Visit wakenetwork.wfu.edu
  2. Click the “New User? Register now” button
  3. Complete the registration form (enter a personal email address for your preferred email, not your student email address)
  4. Select “Yes” for “Create Gmail Account”
  5. Select a User ID for your Wake Network account, which will become the prefix to your new Alumni Gmail account: [UserID]@alumni.wfu.edu (many users select “FirstName.LastName” as their User ID) 
  6. Click the “Register” button
  7. You will receive a confirmation email from the Office of Alumni Engagement once your account has been created (approximately two business days); your Gmail password will be the same as your Wake Network password

If you chose to not have an Alumni Gmail account created for you when you applied for a Wake Network account but have now changed your mind, you can activate your Alumni Gmail account in Wake Network by following these steps:

  1. Visit wakenetwork.wfu.edu
  2. Login with your Wake Network credentials
  3. Click on “Settings”
  4. Click on “Manage WFU Gmail Account”
  5. Switch “Enabled?” to “Yes”
