Hopkins Residence Hall, formerly known as South was re-christened in 2025 in honor of one of Wake Forest’s most distinguished, trailblazing families, the husband and wife team of Dr. Larry Hopkins (’72, MD ’77) and Beth Hopkins (’73).

Beth Hopkins (’73), one of Wake Forest’s first Black female resident students, pursued a distinguished legal career in civil rights before administering Law School pro bono programs. Her husband, Dr. Larry Hopkins (’72, MD ’77), a decorated football player, chose medicine over the NFL, becoming a beloved regional physician known for his dedication to women’s health. Their exceptional contributions earned them the unique distinction as the only husband and wife to receive Wake Forest’s Distinguished Alumni Award.

Designed with the distinctive color palette of the former South Hall, the Hopkins Hall crest features powerful symbols. The icon of the door represents the Hopkins’ barrier-breaking accomplishments and the access and opportunity they created for future Wake Foresters. Complementing this, the heart icon signifies not just Beth and Larry’s love and dedication to one another, but also their transformational commitment to their University.
