I’m a sophomore at Duke University and a friend of Alex’s. I just wanted to write that Alex was a bright light in the lives of everyone that knew him. He impacted everyone with his selfless and loving personality and deserved nothing but the best.
Alex McIvaine was a St Andrews School junior when our son, a freshman, decided to try his hand (or feet) at cross country. Alex was one of several gifted runners on that team but that excellence did not prevent him from dropping back from the lead on training runs to talk with the newer runners, encourage them and build the kind of rapport that made training runs fun for everyone.
There are no words to express the sorrow and condolence held over the passing of Alex. He was my oldest friend at Duke, and although we grew apart in the last few years, he was always such a comforting and cheering presence on campus. The last time I saw Alex was during parents weekend, when he took his time to greet and talk with my mom, which she notes he never failed to do.

Perhaps it would be beneficial to shift the conversation away from baseless racial stereotypes and instead focus on strategies to correct structural disadvantages, which are established predictors of violent crime, that different communities face.
My objection is to (Bill) McCarthy's use of the SPLC list as a legitimate source.
We encourage peer education groups such as PASH to refer students to us for HIV testing.
The truth is that this lazy formulation does nothing but serve right-wing propaganda efforts.
Thank you for embracing Bobby into the beautiful Duke family. He passed away wrapped in his Duke blanket, and although he is no longer with us, Bobby will always be a Blue Devil.
I would like to propose that we not leave a blank space to remind us of what was, but instead replace Lee with an appropriate religious leader.

I am utterly dismayed at the front page of the Duke Chronicle on 8/30/2017.
Banning bikes from the quad shifts the risk to other locations; it does not remove it.
It is a sorry state of affairs when, concurrent with one of the most devastating natural disasters to ever face this country and untold suffering and misery yet to come, our students can muster complaints regarding culinary options available to them at a lavish on campus dining facility, and the school’s newspaper finds this newsworthy, devoting front page, above the fold coverage to such a trivial matter.
That’s why we’re joining with fast food workers on strike today.
