I wrote this letter to you in the hopes that it would make you feel a little less lonely.
To diminish this source of community at all is disheartening; to diminish it sooner than we had expected is even more so.
If I still can't get a visa this fall, I will give up the opportunity to study at Duke University.
Duke has once again failed diversity on campus. The Bryan Center must remain a student facing area, promoting equity and inclusivity.
Dean Jackie Looney retires this year. She was a beacon of opportunity for over 30 years for families who have struggled over generations.
Selective social groups, unaffiliated or not, need more transparency in their systems to address racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, ableism and sexual assault.
Duke University and the Global Education Office (GEO) should offer more diverse study abroad programs in Latin America and the Caribbean to better reflect the Latinx/Latine student body instead of overemphasizing Spain.
One of my favorite professors, Dr. Malone, once asked me, “Are you a stat, or a story?”

We will need companions to help us along the way to healing.
I find it incredibly concerning (and consider it a conflict of interest) that there are several board members who have a significant stake in the success of companies that rely on fossil fuels or our consumption of them.

If Duke wants to identify hypocrisy, look no further than a commitment to being a climate champion while benefiting directly financially from the root causes of climate change.
The slate of finalists that we as a committee agreed upon reflect members of the Duke community that are passionate about the institution and committed to serving the university.
While the decision is looming in the coming weeks, members of the YTNC who have a conflict of interest and personal relationship with Shrey or another finalist should come forward and drop their vote.
The greatest lesson I’ve learned in my entire life is that no one cares about me.
Students who tent in the future should be held accountable for their leftover equipment and the extra burden they put onto our hardworking Facilities team to clean up their messes.
