Dwight Lewis came to the Demon Deacon staff in 2008. He currently serves as Associate Athletic Director, Student-Athlete Engagement and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
In 2020, Lewis received the Mike Ford Servant Leadership Community Award from Wake Forest University.  Created in honor of Mike Ford, this award not only acknowledges the many ways that he inspired leadership both on campus and in the community but recognizes a staff member who carries on the same legacy of servant leadership.  Lewis has worked tirelessly to cultivate Wake Forest student-athletes into both civic and community leaders throughout his time with the Demon Deacons, providing endless service opportunities in the spirit of Pro Humanitate. Under his leadership, there has been an increase in both civic and community engagement from Demon Deacon student-athletes. Lewis’ commitment to connect and develop student-athletes, integrating them into the greater mission of Wake Forest and into the Winston-Salem community, is an example of the kindness and dedication exhibited by Mike Ford.Â
Lewis came to WFU from the University of Oregon, where he served as Director of Academic Support since 1996. Prior to Oregon, he worked as the coordinator of the student internship program at Chico State (CA) from 1994-96 and as outreach counselor at Chico State from 1990-92. Lewis graduated from Chico State with a degree in psychology in 1988 and earned his master's in social science from that school in 1996.
Lewis was an all-conference football player at Chico State and played in the Canadian Football League as a defensive back before beginning his career in athletic administration.
