'Kept their belief': Duke women's basketball's season of growth bears ultimate fruit in test against Ohio State

(03/25/24 5:22am)

COLUMBUS, Ohio—At the end of the first quarter, it felt like the game between No. 7-seed Duke and second-seed Ohio State was already over. The Blue Devils had failed to make a field goal since the 8:05 mark in the period, and Duke was down 20-10. The Buckeye press was suffocating, and former Blue Devil Celeste Taylor was already causing problems on both ends of the floor. 


Redefining health support at Duke: A call for STINF policy reform

(03/25/24 12:54pm)

At Duke, the current policy governing Short-Term Illness Notifications (STINFs) offers a scant three days per semester for student absences due to illness without the need for medical documentation. While this policy might seem compassionate at first glance, its limitations quickly become apparent, especially when facing the unpredictable nature of health challenges. I believe it's time for Duke to critically reassess and significantly expand the STINF policy. By doing so, we can move towards a more inclusive, supportive and health-conscious academic framework that better addresses the diverse needs of our student body.

Dating apps are good, actually

(03/25/24 4:00am)

I used to hate dating apps as much as the next person — which is to say, viscerally. A couple of years ago, I was having breakfast with a friend, and he challenged my dislike. I couldn’t think of anything original to say. So, I figured I’d put my money where my mouth is and give them a go: I’d probably hate them, but at least I’d get some stories out of it. However, as you can probably guess from the title, I instead changed my mind. Because, to be honest, you can’t really know until you try. You could have reasons against using them — such as a religious principle or already being in a relationship — but an aversion without trial is not the same as an opinion crafted through an informed assay.

Duke women's basketball's first half against Richmond was precarious. But, importantly, it found a way through

(03/23/24 3:29pm)

COLUMBUS, Ohio—“Tale of two halves for us. That first half, I thought Richmond did a great job of executing, to be honest with you, and we had some breakdowns as well,” said Duke head coach Kara Lawson after her team’s NCAA first-round matchup Friday afternoon. “They did a great job of executing, we had far too many defensive breakdowns and that led to the eight threes of the half and really, that was the issue.”
