Life as a Duke student can feel surreal – from morning rock climbs, to lunches with Nobel laureates, to nights cheering on the most storied basketball program in college sports, capped off with twilights in Perkins.
This year, Duke Student Government (DSG) began the Student Leader Steering Committee, in the hopes of harmonizing student priorities with administrator work streams to improve the undergraduate experience.
Students commented on how many well-intentioned programs had been reduced to another box to check as part of the Duke experience.
Dialogue is not meant to be a substitute for action; and indeed, meetings with administrators, designs of new policies and proposals for different programs underway are all concurrent with these conversations.
