The DEJOY\WOS Family Foundation is a founding supporter of The Burr Center for Legislative Studies at Wake Forest University. In appreciation of U.S. Senator Richard Burr’s achievements, character and honorable representation of his district, state and alma mater, Wake Forest University has created an educational program focused on an underappreciated segment of democracy ― the intensive process of lawmaking.
The Burr Center for Legislative Studies takes students through the entire life cycle of legislation, which runs from idea generation to subcommittee and committee consideration to full-chamber passage to administrative rule-making. As the repository for all of Senator Burr’s official records, documents and memorabilia associated with his entire Congressional career, the Center will cultivate a profound inquiry into the process of government. This is an area of academia that few institutions pursue, but it is well suited to Wake Forest’s instructional model, which fosters faculty-student collaboration and makes students active participants in their learning.
