For now, to strategically play within the rules of the system, registering as a North Carolina resident is the best option.
I’m afraid that the Poles, while certainly nice people with a rich culture and history, are too inaccessible for most voters.
Amidst all this labwork, all this collaboration and experimentation, all this frenzy to publish and patent, is anyone asking why, if you students are the ones who have to produce all this new knowledge and solve all these problems, why you have to pay us?
Every four years, millions of people look for someone to save us, but we, the people, are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
Duke’s Independent Housing reform worked closely with BIG SAD on this project, which was inspired by the frat guys who went to Me Too Monologues in order to use their performative feminism to pick up women.
Valeria has demonstrated an ambitious and expansive vision in which she deeply desires a connection with a diverse range of student groups across campus and proactive initiatives.
