One year later: Looking back on a year changed by the pandemic

(03/08/21 11:04am)

During a year of changes and challenges, we at The Chronicle have been honored to continue our mission to serve the Duke community. In the 116 years since we began publication, the coronavirus pandemic is one of the events that has most disrupted life at Duke and the way we report on it.

This special edition highlights just a few of the challenges our community rose to meet over the course of the past year.
