Letter to the Editor

(02/01/16 5:30am)

Similar to Alexandra Villasante-Fricke who was President during 2007-08, we were saddened to read “Duke without Mi Gente,” but not for the same reasons. We were disappointed to see that Mi Gente and Duke’s Latin@ students are facing the same struggles that we encountered during our term as Co-Presidents in 2011-12. The cyclical nature of the institutional history of a university is partially to blame, but it should not be used as a cover for self-chosen institutional amnesia.


Mi Gente endorses Wilson for Young Trustee

(02/09/12 5:00am)

Mi Gente, Duke University’s Latino student association, is excited to announce its endorsement of Olly Wilson for Young Trustee. After meeting with all three talented and enthusiastic candidates, we felt that Olly Wilson is the most knowledgeable about the unique experiences and challenges facing our University in the coming years. He is aware and acquainted with three of the big topics concerning our University: global expansion, interdisciplinary collaboration and environmental sustainability. Olly successfully presented his platform to us, which included actions to improve the development of Duke University in these three areas. Olly Wilson also expressed to us the importance of interdisciplinary and international collaboration as shown by the many unique Duke institutes such as the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute and the Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy.
