Interdisciplinary Performance and the Liberal Arts Center (IPLACe)

Excerpt from President Hatch’s Wake Forest State of the University address given on October 9, 2012:

“Today, I am thrilled at the progress we have made on this campus in renewing faculty-student engagement. And I am deeply grateful to so many of you. In particular, I would like to thank our deans who have led these efforts with such vision, creativity, and determination. . . . We also created interdisciplinary research centers and institutes to encourage more faculty and student engagement. In addition to the Institute for Public Engagement and the Humanities Institute, we have seven centers: the Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials; the Center for Enterprise Research and Education; the Translational Science Center; the Center for Bioethics, Health and Society; the Center for Energy, Environment and Sustainability; and the Center for Molecular Communication and Signaling; and our newest – the Interdisciplinary Performance and the Liberal Arts Center – or iPLACe.”
