Muhammad Yunus Commencement Speaker

by Taylor Doherty The Chronicle

The career of microfinance pioneer and Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, who will speak at commencement Sunday, demonstrates the potential to bridge the gap between academia’s ivory tower and the real world.

In 1976, Yunus—then a professor at the University of Chittagong in Bangladesh—began a project aimed at providing the rural poor with banking services. By 1983, the project had evolved into Grameen Bank, which was independent and providing the poor with access to credit to allow for the creation of businesses and break the cycle of poverty.

The bank does not require collateral for loans and it does not take borrowers who cannot repay loans to court.

It provides significant assistance to women seeking to escape poverty, with 97 percent of its 8.07 million borrowers being women, according to the bank’s website.

“What Muhammad has done over his lifetime is embody very much the ideas of knowledge and service to society, which drive a lot of activity at Duke,” said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. “He took a graduate education, a Ph.D. in economics, and turned it into a force for incredible good in a part of the world that had not experienced that kind of entrepreneurship.”

In addition to winning the Nobel Peace Price jointly with the Grameen Bank in 2006 “for their efforts to create economic and social development from below,” Yunus is a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. President Barack Obama awarded Yunus the United States’ highest civilian honor Aug. 12, 2009.

Although Yunus is not a Duke alumnus, he is connected to the University in a number of ways, Schoenfeld said.

In years past he has been involved with the Center for the

Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship at the Fuqua School of Business.

Schoenfeld said Fuqua was also a co-sponsor of Yunus’ February 2009 visit to nearby North Carolina Central University. Yunus was in the area to consider establishing a branch of his bank in the Triangle and spoke at both NCCU and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

In 2008, Grameen launched several branches in the United States and has now given loans to 2,500 people, with a 99 percent repayment rate, said Katherine Rosenberg, director of education and evaluation for Grameen America.

The selection and invitation of commencement speakers is a responsibility that ultimately lies with President Richard Brodhead, although this year Brodhead called for a student advisory committee to help suggest candidates.

The committee was composed of students from both the University’s undergraduate and graduate schools and was led by Schoenfeld and Vice President and University Secretary Richard Riddell.

Ultimately, the group suggested about 20 names to Brodhead, who decided to extend an invitation to Yunus.

Riddell said the group looked for speakers with the ability to provide a message particularly inspiring for the occasion and connect with the audience with excellent public speaking skills.

“I like the fact that he has gone out and figured out how to solve a financial issue with a population that many people would have never thought about,” Riddell said. “It resonates with Duke University throughout its schools, how do you take what we know and make a difference in the world?”

Yunus was the commencement speaker for the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School in 2009 and for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2008.

The committee initially considered more than 100 po-

tential commencement speaker, said Taren Greenidge, a third year student in the School of Law who served on the committee and will graduate this weekend. Greenidge added that Yunus’s extensive background in economics and finance is especially relevant given the recent economic downturn, as is his commitment to service.

“Because Duke is a school so esteemed for academics and also community involvement and giving back, I think he fits the mold of what [the University] is all about,” Greenidge said.

David Distenfeld

Student Commencement Speaker

by Tullia Rushton THE CHRONICLE

At commencement, Duke University Improv member David Distenfeld will face his biggest crowd on campus yet.

Distenfeld, a senior, was chosen by the student speaker selection committee to address students, faculty and family during Sunday’s graduation ceremonies.

“David is very involved with DUI and is comfortable on the stage, a natural per-

special to The Chronicle

Senior David Distenfeld, who will deliver the student speech, is a member of Duke Unviersity Improv.

former,” said Dean of Students Sue Wasiolek, who served on the selection committee. “His speaking style and delivery are quite strong…. He has a nice balance between humor, nostalgia and inspiration.”

Considering Distenfeld is in the same position as his fellow graduates, he said his speech does not offer a lot of advice.

Instead, he said he wants to present his experiences at Duke in a way that appeals to all students.

He added that the improvisation process “Yes, and...” will be incorporated throughout his speech. “Yes, and...” requires actors to always answer questions from other improvisers with “Yes,” then expand on the idea to further action in the scene and refine the actor’s character. Distenfeld said it is a concept fitting for a graduation speech because it can be applied to life after Duke.

“It’s the idea that, at Duke and beyond, it’s not just good enough to say, ‘Yes,’ and do something. You have figure out a way to inject your own perspective in it,” Distenfeld said. “I want [audience members] to find their own personal, ‘Yes and,’ moment.”

Distenfeld said he immediately had the idea for the speech when he heard about the search for a student speaker. He knew several former student speakers at graduation were also members of DUI, which led him to consider applying.

Freshman Year 2006-2007

from Staff Reports the chronicle

Freshman move-in day might have been hot and sweaty for this year’s graduating seniors, but the national view of the campus they would soon call home was anything but sunny.

Pending allegations of rape, sexual assault and kidnapping against three lacrosse players, prompted the University to deal with the fallout of the lacrosse case and reevaluate campus culture during the Class

of 2010’s freshman year.

But the year was also marked by an expanding campus. In 2006, these freshmen were among the first to use the approximately $10 million, 40,000 sq.-foot West Campus Plaza. They also made use of the new labs and classrooms in the 280,000 sq.-ft. French Family Science Center, which opened in the Spring. The center was partially funded by a $30-million gift from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which played a large part in the changing campus that year.

The foundation donated $10 million to President Richard Brodhead’s Financial Aid Initiative, which hoped to raise $300 million for financial aid by the end of 2008.

The initiative brought in more than $308 million by its deadline.

The University also increased the role civic engagement played in education at Duke when it launched DukeEngage in February 2007, which was funded in part by a $15 million gift from the foundation. Students would soon be able to spend a summer volunteering at sites across the world.

Back in Durham, students and administrators examined student life as part of the Campus Culture Initiative, a study Brodhead commissioned following the allegations against the lacrosse players.

The report—released in February after almost a year of meetings, studies and investigations—called for curriculum, alcohol policy and athletics changes, among other things. The committee promoted the existence of a diverse and inclusive community, called for more faculty-student interaction and asked for changes in housing and dining models to promote a stronger sense of community.

The lacrosse case also changed course.

Questions arose about former Durham district attorney Mike Nifong’s handling of the case.

The North Carolina State Bar accused Nifong of making numerous statements to the media condemning the players and of withholding DNA test results from defense lawyers.

Nifong dropped the rape charges against the indicted former players in December and turned the case over to North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper in January. In April, Cooper declared the former players innocent of all charges and criticized Nifong’s behavior.

Later that month, the 2006-2007 men’s lacrosse team made a symbolic comeback when it won the 2007 ACC Championship.

Other athletics teams, however, did not experience such success. After finishing 8-8 in the ACC regular season, the 2006-2007 men’s basketball team fell short in the NCAA Tournament, losing in the first round for the first time in 11 seasons. Crazies hoped for a different finish for the women’s team,but the team lost to Rutgers in the Sweet 16.

In April, former women’s basketball head coach Gail Goestenkors, who had been at Duke since 1992, announced her decision to leave the University to coach at the University of Texas. Later that month, the team learned that former Michigan State head coach Joanne P. McCallie would replace Goestenkors. The tradition of having a head coach with a one-letter nickname continued, as players referred to McCallie as “Coach P.�

The campus also experienced a change in dining. Compass Group replaced ARAMARK Corp. as the new dining management company on campus, and the Marketplace See freshman on page 21

Sophomore Year 2007-2008 from Staff Reports THE CHRONICLE

The Class of 2010 experienced a sophomore year that was heavy in transitions surrounding the lacrosse case, housing facilities and faculty members.

The lacrosse case continued to attract significant media attention in June when a North Carolina State Bar Disciplinary Hearing Commission disbarred Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong for his role in the scandal.

In August, Duke students returned to campus to find the Outpost—which promotes outdoor activity—below the West Campus Plaza.

Duke Bikes, headquartered in the Outpost, began to promote health and sustainability by loaning bikes to students free of charge.

Sustainability and conservation also remained an important issue as the Duke community dealt with a statewide drought by trying to conserve water.

Also in August, medical students welcomed Dr. Nancy Andrews as the new dean of the School of Medicine. Andrews came from Harvard Medical School, where she was dean for basic sciences and graduate studies.

She was the first woman to lead any top-ten medical school. U.S. News & World Report’s annual Honor Roll of America’s Best Hospitals named Duke University Medical Center the seventh best hospital in the country.

In September, Residence Life and Housing Services announced that Few Quadrangle would be closed for renovations from

May 2008 to January 2009. The renovations resulted in a housing shortage that made doubles on West Campus unavailable for rising juniors and seniors unaffiliated with selective living groups, forcing more students to live on Central Campus.

In October, legal action surrounding the lacrosse case continued, as the first of several lawsuits was filed. The three lacrosse players falsely accused of rape and other charges—Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and David Evans—filed a civil rights suit against Durham and 13 other parties, including Nifong and members of the Durham Police Department.

In addition to the accused players’ lawsuits, 38 unindicted lacrosse players and their families sued the University, Durham, Nifong and others in February seeking damages.

December saw the Board of Trustees approve extensive changes to Duke’s financial aid system. These changes increased the amount of aid given and reduced the size of student loans starting in the 20082009 academic year.

The second semester had a tragic beginning when engineering graduate student Abhijit Mahato, 29, was shot and killed in his home at the Anderson Apartments near West Campus Jan. 18.

Stephen Oates, 19 and a Durham resident, was later arrested and charged in Mahato’s death. Laurence Lovette, 17, was also arrested in the Mahato case, but not before

being charged with another murder.

A second tragedy took place in the Triangle in March when Eve Carson, a senior and student body president at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was kidnapped and murdered. Durham residents Lovette and Demario Atwater were arrested and charged with the murder.

A report released by DPD found that Mahato’s robbery and murder was part of a collection of offenses that contributed to a 1 percent increase in crime in Durham for 2008. On campus, however, there was an overall decrease in crime.

In March, more housing plans were announced when the Board of Trustees approved a new master plan for Central Campus. The design for the campus looked to better integrate Central Campus with East and West campuses.

In mid-April, students and other community members responded to international disputes by holding pro-Tibet and pro-China protests. As a result of her involvement in the April 9 rally, freshman Grace Wang—a Chinese student—received threats and retaliation from both Duke community members and international dissenters. The backlash included the vandalizing of her family’s home in China.

Also in April, a student pledging for offcampus fraternity Alpha Delta Phi, formerly chartered as Sigma Alpha Epsilon, was treated for hypothermic shock and a seizure at

Duke Hospital after allegedly being hazed at a pledge event. The student later filed a complaint against a fraternity member and took a medical leave of absence from the University.

In sports, the West Virginia Mountaineers dismissed the men’s basketball team in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. On the women’s side, head coach Joanne P. McCallie’s first season produced a 25-10 record for the woman’s basketball team that ended in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.

The year was also marked by the departure of a number of important figures in the athletics department. Men’s soccer head coach John Rennie retired at the end of the soccer season after his 29th year at the University. Rennie led his team to Duke’s first NCAA championship in any sport in 1986.

Football head coach Ted Roof’s term with Duke ended after a bleak one-win season, and he left with a 6-45 career record. David Cutcliffe, offensive coordinator at the University of Tennessee and former head coach at Ole Miss, took the helm of the program in December.

In April, Director of Athletics Joe Alleva accepted the athletic director job at Louisiana State University after 32 years at Duke.

His tenure was marked by successful teams and significant fundraising, but was tainted by a baseball steroids scandal, a boating accident involving his son and the lacrosse case.

Junior Year 2008-2009

from Staff Reports THE CHRONICLE

For the class of 2010, junior year was a time of historic highs and lows.

In November, America—and notably, traditionally Republican-voting North Carolina—elected Democrat Barack Obama as America’s first black President. Emerging victorious from a contentious and riveting election, Obama soon faced the task of staving off complete financial collapse.

Only a month into junior year, the Class

of 2010 saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumble nearly 778 points in one day, or 6.98 percent, reflecting the nation’s economic fears. The financial firm Lehman Brothers had gone bankrupt, foreshadowing a deep and protracted global recession.

Students and parents alike contemplated the possibility that America was heading toward another Great Depression.

The economic downturn brought attention to a number of the University’s most prominent alumni, including Richard

Although it only turned out, by most accounts, to be a “Great Recession,” the downturn’s damaging effects were broad.

A housing bubble coupled with risky, unchecked lending resulted in sustained unemployment across the country. Many students worried about their economic prospects after Duke.

On campus, plans for renovations were shelved as the University’s endowment fell by about 20 percent by January 2009—a $1.2 billion decline from a June 2008 high of $6.1 billion. In an effort to eliminate a $125 million budget deficit, the administration announced $50 million in budget cuts. Plans for New Campus were put on hold, shifting administrators’ focus to revitalizing Central Campus. Even with the depressed economy, however, Duke was able to exceed its goal of raising $300 million for financial aid, bringing in more than $308 million by Dec. 31, 2009, and expand its global partnerships, planning for campuses in New Delhi, India and Shanghai, China. The University also celebrated the completion of construction on the Duke-National University of Singapore Graduate Medical School in February 2009.

Although Durham struggled with more acute economic problems, it celebrated the opening of the $44 million Durham Performing Arts Center in December. Trinity Heights residents saw increased dialogue

with the University regarding their complaints about off-campus partying.

In March, students chose Awa Nur to be the next president of the Duke Student Government. Capturing 35 percent of the vote in a tight race against three candidates, Nur became DSG’s first female president in a decade and just the second black female president in the organization’s history.

Renowned African American Studies scholar and champion of civil rights John Hope Franklin passed away just a week before the DSG election at the age of 94. The University joined many Americans, including former president Bill Clinton, in celebrating the life and work of the James B. Duke professor emeritus of history.

Duke athletics moved forward with renovations to Cameron Indoor Stadium and Wallace Wade Stadium under Director of Athletics Kevin White during his first year in the position.

Duke sports teams had moments of promise, but in some instances fell short of their lofty standards. New head football coach David Cutcliffe led a squad that finished 4-8 but displayed signs of promise that it might soon compete in a bowl game. On the court, the women’s basketball team lost to head coach Joanne P. McCallie’s former squad, Michigan State, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The men’s team took the ACC crown and finished with a 30-7 record, but fell to Villanova in the Sweet Sixteen. The Class of 2010 would have to wait another year for its national championship.

Senior Year 2009-2010

from Staff Reports THE CHRONICLE

In a senior year characterized by budget cuts and new plans, the Class of 2010 saw many policy and physical changes to campus, including an NCAA trophy in the men’s basketball case.

In response to the economic downturn President Richard Brodhead announced in Spring 2009 a plan to cut the University’s budget by $125 million over three years. In October, a financial statement revealed that the University’s net assets had fallen 29.1 percent, from more than $8.6 billion to more than $6.1 billion, largely due to investment losses.

The University took several major steps toward becoming a smaller Duke in the Class of 2010’s senior year. The Duke Administrative Reform Team looked for administrative and operational reductions, including instituting a vacancy management program and reducing overtime hours.

In the summer and Fall, officials offered retirement incentives to 825 bi-weekly and 198 monthly paid employees who met specific criteria. By January, 295 bi-weekly and 89 monthly employees had decided to accept the incentives, saving the University an estimated $27.5 million.

Cuts continued in December, when students learned of 10 percent budget cuts for all departments in the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences. All told, cuts made in 2009-2010 totalled an estimated $60 million, officials said.

In an e-mail to the Duke community in

March, Brodhead stated that benefits-eligible employees making $80,000 or less annually will receive a one-time payment of $1,000 for fiscal year 2011—which runs from July 2010 to June 2011. Although the pay freeze instituted last fiscal year for all employees is still in effect, about 70 percent of University employees were eligible for this payout.

One cost-cutting attempt elicited student outcry on campus. In November 2009, the University announced it would merge the Center for Multicultural Affairs with the International House and lay off two Multicultural Center employees. The announcement prompted more than 150 students to voice their concerns to administrators at a student-organized forum. The administration delayed the merger pending the creation of a task force that would include students in the decision.

The Spring of the Class of 2010’s senior year also brought some brighter economic news for the University. Due to positive endowment performance, administrators estimated that the University’s budget deficit was closer to $100 million than $125 million.

With the recalculation, the University is now faced with cutting its budget by $40 million in the next two years. Despite financial setbacks, the University continued to expand in other areas. In October, Steve Nowicki, dean and vice provost for undergraduate education, announced the addition of the new “K4” wing to Keohane dormitory.

University officials also started work on

a campus in Kunshan, China, following two years of negotiation for partnership. The Kunshan government will provide more than 200 acres of land for research, education and housing. The Fuqua School of Business will be the first to use the Kunshan site following its completion.

The Duke University Health System also began to expand this year. In August 2009, DUHS announced plans to construct a new cancer center and medical pavilion at the Duke University Hospital—a program that will cost more than $700 million. The cancer center will consolidate services offered to patients in one building, and the medical pavilion will increase the number of operating suites and hospital rooms available.

Fall 2009 was also marked by warnings about the H1N1 virus, also known as swine flu, that had plagued Duke’s campus since the summer. At its height, University officials confirmed 50 cases of the flu on campus, but suspected that as many as 120 students had contracted the virus. In October, Duke University Health System made the H1N1 spray vaccine available at clinics, and instances of swine flu leveled off by Thanksgiving.

Several campus processes changed dramatically this year, too. Duke Student Government tasked senior Amanda Turner, special secretary for the Young Trustee process, with re-evaluting the undergraduate Young Trustee selection process to eliminate bias and encourage more diverse candidates.

Previously, members of DSG and the Inter-

Community Council voted on candidates for the position. After DSG President Awa Nur, a senior, vetoed the initial bylaw proposing an undergraduate election, the Senate passed a bylaw allowing the student body to elect the Young Trustee from a pool of three finalists.

Two months later, senior John Harpham became the first elected Young Trustee, winning an instant runoff election by three votes.

The Residential Group Assessment Committee completed its three-year review of selective living groups and fraternities on campus in November, prompting selective living groups and fraternities to voice concerns that the process was opaque, inconsistent and discriminated against some groups. Although living group locations were shuffled according to this year’s results, administrators eliminated section shuffling and Campus Council implemented a new evaluation process, the Collaborative Housing Process, in April.

The Class of 2010 witnessed some resounding victories during its senior year, as well.

After nearly a decade without an NCAA title in men’s basketball, the Class of 2010’s senior year was marked by campus-wide celebration as the team secured the fourth national championship in the program’s history.

The championship season—led by senior Jon Scheyer and juniors Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith—also featured two wins over the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and an ACC championship.

“It’s kind of a mini tradition within our group,” Distenfeld said.

Distenfeld and 27 other applicants submitted drafts of their speeches for three rounds of review by the committee, which consisted of students, faculty and administrators from the Alumni Association. Generally, the committee focused on content and delivery, Wasiolek said, but additional criteria were also considered.

“There has to be something in the speech that is Dukespecific, such as fond memories, particular events or Duke experiences that can strike a chord with graduating students,” she said. “[There also needs to be] a message that is inspiring… that might on that particular day make folks sit back and think for a moment and reflect on time at Duke, but also think about what life will hold after Duke.”

In the first round of review, the committee looked at content and whether the speech fit the audience. The speeches were submitted in writing anonymously to the committee, which later narrowed the pool to eight speakers who were invited to deliver their speeches orally to the committee.

In the third round, two students delivered their speeches a final time after making revisions based on suggestions from the committee.

Senior Tracy Gold, a member of the student speaker selection committee, said there were many good speeches, but a consensus emerged in support of Distenfeld’s.

“He does a really good job relating ‘Yes, and...’ to the way it has shaped his life and the way that it applies to life at Duke and beyond Duke,” Gold said.

Following the basketball season, men’s basketball associate head coach Johnny Dawkins announced his acceptance of Stanford University’s offer to become the Cardinal’s head coach.

freshman from page 6 welcomed caterer Bon Appétit. Freshmen also received Duke Dining Durham Dollars—$50 gift cards students could use to purchase food at 19 different eateries in Durham.

It was a year of contrasts—in the midst of the widelywatched lacrosse case, Duke was growing in new ways, with programs like DukeEngage. Even though the University fell to eighth in the 2006 U.S. News and World Report rankings,its lowest undergraduate ranking since 2000, students were equipped with more facilities and ways of learning.

Although the lacrosse case would overshadow the Class of 2010’s first year at Duke, campus-wide re-evaluation in its aftermath attempted to shape the rest of the class’s Duke experience.

senior from page 14 Thousands of students watched the national championship game in Cameron Indoor Stadium, as Duke battled it out against Butler, winning the national title by two points.

Despite an opening loss against the University of Richmond, head football coach David Cutcliffe led the team to five victories during the season, one more than last year. But an incident off the field attracted negative attention. In January, freshman players John Drew, Kyle Griswould and Brandon Putnam were charged with discharging a weapon on Duke

In June, John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, ended his administrative tenure at the University. Robert Thompson, dean of Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, returned to teaching, and University Secretary and Vice President Allison Haltom stepped down after being at the University since 1968, when she came as a student. property, a felony. The players were dismissed from the team and barred from campus until the charges are resolved.

In November, the University revealed the Climate Action Plan, a project to reduce the University’s carbon emissions by 45 percent by 2024. The plan’s most expensive project is the renovation of the East Campus Steam Plant scheduled for completion this year. It will reduce the plant’s emissions by as much as 85 percent and cost $20 to $25 million.

At the end of the year, George McLendon, dean of the faculty of Arts and Sciences and dean of Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, announced he was leaving Duke to become provost of Rice University.

BRAVO!

Spring 2010 Phi Beta Kappa Initiates

Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s oldest and largest academic honor society, was founded on December 5, 1776 by five students at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. Since then, it has evolved to become the nation’s leading advocate for arts and sciences at the undergraduate level. Phi Beta Kappa elects over 15,000 new members a year from 276 prestigious chapters across the United States. The Society’s distinctive emblem, a gold key (with the Greek character Phi along with B and K as the initials of the name of the society), is widely recognized as a symbol of academic achievement.

The Duke Chapter, Beta of North Carolina, was formed in 1920 at Trinity College. We are delighted to receive into membership the following: Marie Elizabeth Aberger

Nobel Prize-Winning Economist

Muhammad Yunus to Sign Books at the Gothic Bookshop on Sunday, May 16, from 1:30-3:30 pm!

On Sunday, May 16, Duke’s graduating class of 2010 will have the privilege of hearing Nobel Prize-winning economist Muhammad Yunus speak at this year’s Commencement.

We’re pleased to announce that from 1:30-3:30 pm on that same afternoon, the Gothic Bookshop will be hosting Professor Yunus to sign copies of his new book, Building Social Business: The New Kind of Capitalism that Serves Humanity’s Most Pressing Needs.

The signing will take place on the Plaza, right outside of the Joe Van Gogh coffee house. (We’ll move inside in the event of bad weather.) We know you’ll want to meet Professor Yunus after hearing him speak, so come by and get a book signed. It will be the perfect Commencement keepsake!
