They say the devil is in the details. But in Durham, the Blue Devils are in the details—and numbers:
At first blush, love has no room at Duke.
As gun violence continues to plague Durham, I am calling on the community to step in and help us prevent it. Now is the time to become change agents. As I travel across Durham County – be it speaking before a medical group treating victims for resulting physical and mental trauma, attending the riveting play at Hillside High School (“State of Urgency”), or being approached by a local citizen asking what we in law enforcement are doing – there are things we can all do.
There is a breach in our society. A breach is a breaking, a gap, a hole, a divide in something that was once whole. I’m not sure how whole we’ve ever been as the human race, but the breach is on full display these days in inhumane violence in schools, malls, universities, and the streets. These acts of violence should cause us to tremble in the face of terror rather than numb us into doing nothing. Our hearts should be hurting and our souls aching.
Placing No. 8 in the Inside Lacrosse Preseason Poll, there have been high expectations and hopes for Duke coming into its 2023 spring season. Starting off hot with two resounding wins before a nail-biting 12-13 loss to Jacksonville, the Blue Devils have largely shown signs that the faith placed in them was not unfounded. To hope to exceed expectations and bring home an NCAA title for the first time since 2014, the Blue Devils put their trust behind two stars that were just placed on the Tewaaraton Award watch list. Senior defender Kenny Brower and electric junior attackman Brennan O’Neill are prime candidates for the award, an honor that annually recognizes the top male and female college lacrosse players in the United States.
Duke men's basketball is back on the road, taking on familiar foe Jim Boeheim and the Syracuse Orange Saturday. Before the conference matchup, the Blue Zone has you covered with some can't-miss prop bets:
With love in the air this past week, the golf course was not as loving to the Blue Devils as they may have hoped.
No. 9 Duke ended the first quarter against No. 11 Virginia Tech Thursday evening down 23-11. The rest of the game was an uphill battle, and Duke never quite got the edge again, the ultimate 61-45 loss against the Hokies in Blacksburg, Va., marking its lowest-scoring game of the season.
The sky was a cloudy gray and a light breeze danced through the air — perfect weather for a 7.8-kilometer run. Shaded by the oak trees that line the East Campus trail, dozens of members of the Duke community lined up behind Baldwin Auditorium Wednesday afternoon and looked to Duke men’s basketball sophomore Stanley Borden at the front of the crowd as he explained the route.
Ingrid Daubechies, a Duke mathematics professor dubbed the “Godmother of the Digital Image,” has received one of the highest honors in the field of mathematics.
Candidates for Duke Student Government’s upcoming elections announced their campaigns on Thursday. Juniors Chase Barclay, Isaiah Hamilton and Robert Sprung are running for DSG president, while juniors Ashley Bae and Brandon Qin are running for the executive vice president position.
Before returning to Durham for its final three-game home stand, Duke men's basketball has another away contest as it heads north to take on Syracuse. The Blue Zone has three keys for the Blue Devils to right the road-game ship:
As the Blue Devils walked into Cassell Coliseum Thursday night in Blacksburg, Va., they had high hopes of continuing their win streak in an already remarkable season. After Duke picked up a 66-55 win against Virginia Tech three short weeks ago, the Hokies might have been another stepping stone to the ACC crown. However, the visitors seemed to forget the unfortunate reality of being on top—the only way to go is down.
Duke recently received a $1.2 million, five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health to prepare post-baccalaureate students to apply for graduate programs or medical school and to diversify representation in biomedical sciences.
Academic Council had a panel discussion about Duke’s Climate Commitment and approved a new tenure track pathway for faculty in the creative arts in its February meeting.

Who’s the greatest anthropomorphic cartoon rabbit? That shouldn’t be a difficult question. What about the greatest cartoon duck? The greatest pig, the greatest coyote, the greatest Tasmanian devil? Maybe some answers come to mind. Any show would be lucky to have even one of these characters in their series, but if one show had all of these wacky and zany characters, then it might stand to reason that it’s one of the best shows of all time. I’m glad to say that one show DOES have all these characters, and it is “Looney Tunes.”
Duke is on a tear. The Blue Devils are on a four-game winning streak and remain undefeated at home. They are ranked No. 9 in the country by the AP Poll, and currently sit alone at the top of the ACC standings.
I’m sure I was not the only Michigan State Spartan fan brought to tears by hearing our school songs playing across the Duke University campus the day after our tragic events. Many thanks to those involved with this touching tribute and particularly to the Duke University Chapel staff.
Being funny in a second language is hard. That was one of the first facts I realized after coming to Duke as an international student. As someone who values a sense of humor and views laughter shared with friends as highlights in my daily life, I was at a loss.
