To exclusively value individual achievement and to dismiss the role that support networks and larger structures have played in that achievement breeds narcissism and minimizes harm.
By now, we're all aware that Duke's response to campus sexual assault is inadequate.
It’s a captivating study—how gregarious women with life under their belts occupy space—and I’m learning, I hope, how to become one of them.

No wonder people say Duke’s student body is the most diverse it’s been in years...
Being an ally is more than supporting openly queer people.
The Coronavirus is a frightening disease that is pushing people’s prejudices and ignorance to the forefront. As Duke students, we should not fall under that trap.
These extra six weeks will be torture for all at Duke—and our Instagram followers.
