Join the Editorial Board

(09/12/16 1:15pm)

Dedicated readers of The Chronicle may have noticed by now that along with the handful of alternating biweekly columns, random letters-to-the-editor and aleatory published community comments that make up the newspaper’s opinion section, there is one stalwart piece of writing that appears every day—a 520-580-word column penned by an author who goes by the odd name of “Editorial Board.”





​Real talk on small talk

(08/29/16 4:19pm)

I'd wager ten-and-a-half food points that you've picked up this fine publication after having been forced against your will—for the third time today—to reveal your most interesting personal fact to a PNF—or potential new friend. (How crazy that you also have 2 siblings!) Or maybe you're attempting to catch up on your daily dose of Duke University news while relieving your bladder and your mental stability in the one place you can escape the “OMG so good to see you” from the dudes and gals whose names have now become as fuzzy as your freshmen year rug/emergency bed. Alas, it's even more probable that you're just browsing this semi-relevant column to avoid yet another round of one-liners about your great summer, great internship and great feelings about the year ahead.


Coach K, get me a dream job

(06/06/16 11:05am)

By now, I’m sure the graduates of the greatest undergraduate class to grace the hallowed halls of Duke University since 2015 have comfortably settled in for a good few weeks...or months...maybe a gap year or two...of Netflix and Chill after a rough semester of pretending to do work, while squeezing in the last of the unofficial Duke graduation requirements. (Don’t think I didn’t hear your “muffled” murmurs in the Perkins stacks during reading period.)




On mornings

(04/21/16 9:13am)

If you are one of those well-rested, or otherwise non-morning folk like myself, I tell you, if you need a change in your life, start doing mornings. They’re terrific. The toast. The coffee! The coolness of the air that reminds you of a different country. It feels like a miracle when you start to wake up of your own accord, preempting the alarm as though interrupting a pesky coworker with exactly the words they were about to say. And perhaps the best part is saying “good morning” to anyone you’d like to—more valuable than any of the other salutations because its truthfulness is running out a short clock until noon.
