As long as pro-Palestine groups on campuses continue to treat civilian massacres as an inevitable part of the fight for liberation, Israelis and most American Jews will continue to view its cause as a fundamental threat to the lives of all six million Jews living in Israel.
We also want to let our own learning communities — which include Muslims, Christians and Jews; Israelis and Palestinians; and families desperate to protect loved ones — know that we are raising our voices in defense of all civilians.
A well-designed liberal arts curriculum should be such that liberal arts students enjoying and exploring liberal arts naturally finish them, without even checking the ‘Degree Progress’ tab on Dukehub.
Things feel a bit of a blur now, but Angela was a good friend — someone who I just really, really liked and loved to be around. I thought we were going to be friends for a long time.
We write as alumni of Duke University to urge the leadership to set goals that lead to fair and equitable employment practices, sustainable environmental policy and responsible investment strategies.
Angela will be missed forever, and I will never stop loving her.
I'm so focused on connecting with the world that the value of understanding myself vanishes in the noise.
Duke has given me everything I could have dreamed of and more...I have nothing but gratitude. Except maybe, the smallest bit of regret.

Angela’s passing is overwhelmingly painful. No one will be able to fill space in the particular and beautiful way that she did.
Exams are stressful. My suggestion? Deal with it — an examination-free world might be worse than you think.
The Duke Jewish community stands united in mourning the loss of our brothers and sisters who were brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists this weekend in Israel.

In preparation for the Centennial, we have converted West Campus into an immersive construction experience.
Mind the margins in books, buildings, sports, subways and our wider society. It’s the margins, the borders, that tell us what kind of society we really live in.
A community builder, Angela encouraged everyone to move, dance and interact, and she did this in a dear and compassionate manner.
Angela spent a lot of time at our home, and in some ways, she was like a second daughter.
The responsibility to do better not only falls on Apple’s shoulders but ours as well.
Yes, our food is good. But is it worth $13 a meal?
