A teacher to us all

In thinking about the many dimensions of Susan Tifft’s legacy at Duke and beyond, I’m looking at the 25th anniversary edition of Duke Magazine (from just under a year ago). Susan, then with Time magazine, was one of the founding members of the magazine’s advisory board; that was back in 1983, before the magazine had even published its first issue. Over more than a quarter century on our board, Susan—always a strong presence—helped us keep our commitment to the standards of journalism and, at the same time, to the values of a great university.
