Duke Forward surpasses halfway point by Carleigh Stiehm THE CHRONICLE
Three years into its seven year campaign, Duke Forward has raised 50.1 percent of its $3.25 billion goal. Duke Forward is a University-wide fundraising campaign designed to foster continued innovation at Duke. About $1.325 billion was raised during the campaign’s silent phase, which began in July 2010. The public phase of the campaign began in October 2012. The campaign will conclude in June 2017 and will raise funds for the University’s 10 schools, health system, athletics, facilities and financial aid. According to the campaign strategic plan, Duke Forward’s aims include “enriching the Duke experience, activating Duke’s power for the world and sustaining our momentum.� “The goal of any campaign is to make the University a better, stronger place for future generations, and that’s what Duke Forward is doing,� said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. Prior to the announcement of the campaign, each school formed a strategic plan for spending the money raised. “The Duke Forward campaign will enable us to remain at the forefront of innovation in higher education,� reads Trinity’s strategic plan. “Philanthropic investments in our unique educational opportunities, world-class faculty, and vital financial aid programs will keep our vibrant community of faculty and scholars on a trajectory of success.�

From bills to buildings Financial aid is an essential part of the University’s identity, said Steve Nowicki, dean and vice provost of undergraduate education. “I would put the whole undergraduate experience in one pocket,� Nowicki said. “One main priority [for Duke Forward] is to get continued support for financial aid. Competitive financial aid programs allow the University to continue to admit only the best undergraduates, but this is an expensive endeavor, Nowicki said. In addition, Nowicki said Duke Forward will go towards a number of other aspects of the undergraduate experience including residential life. “Residential experience is not just the living halls, it’s about everything that goes on on campus,� he said. Part of the funds raised by the campaign are intended to finance the construction of new dormitories on both East and West campuses, Nowicki said. “A big part of this campaign is to further support the living experience of students on campus,� he said. “Not just so Duke is a better place, but so we further Duke as a unique living and learning community.� He added that it is essential that Duke maintain the appeal of its campus experience as students shift into the digital age. What will separate an expensive residential education from taking top notch classes online is the “residential liberal arts experience� that Duke can provide, Nowicki said. SEE FORWARD ON PAGE 21

Q&A with Kelly Brownell that the people at Sanford do, how connected they are to people in other parts of the University and how they are thinking boldly about solving the world’s problems.
Kelly Brownell, former professor of psychology at Yale University and director of the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, will replace Bruce Kuniholm as the new Dean of the Sanford School of Public Policy. Brownell, a leading expert in the fields of global health policy and obesity, will assume his position on July 1. The Chronicle’s Sophia Durand spoke with Brownell about his appointment, his vision for Sanford and what he is most excited about for the future of the school.
TC: Could you tell me about your vision for Sanford? KB: The first aim is to get to know the faculty and find areas where there are particular strengths and take advantage of those strengths in order to create maximum impact. Connecting the work at Sanford tightly with the work of policy makers in the United States and outside the United States will be an important priority.
The Chronicle: Let’s begin with some background. What position did you hold while at Yale? Kelly Brownell: During my time at Yale, I’ve been a professor of psychology and public heath. I’ve also been the director of the Rudd Center for food policy and obesity. In that capacity, our goal has been to work at the intersection of science and public policy. We’ve identified obesity and poor nutrition as important world problems, and we’ve attempted to find important gaps in knowledge that would be helpful to fill for the sake of the policy makers. TC: What is it that attracted you to Duke? KB: There are general and specific things. At the general level, I am very impressed by Duke’s entrepreneurial spirit and the collaborative nature of the University in the mission to create knowledge in the service of society. More specific to the Sanford School, I found it to be a place filled with vibrancy and talented people working on some of the worlds’ SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE most pressing problems. With every visit, I find myself impressed with the fine work Kelly Brownell, leading expert in global health policy, was named Dean of the Sanford School of Public Policy.
TC: What are you most looking forward to at Sanford? KB: I believe there is remarkable talent and good will at Duke and at Sanford. One of my primary goals is to work with people at the University to identify the next generation of the world’s most pressing problems, and then to establish a presence for Sanford in those areas. TC: Do you have any concerns or are you anticipating any challenges? KB: No, actually. The Sanford School is in outstanding shape. The previous leadership with the outgoing Dean [Bruce Kuniholm] has been very impressive, and I’ll be entering the school in good influential and financial conditions, with high morale and a can-do spirit that will be enjoyable to be around.

Q&A with Stefani Jones facing DSG being? SJ: There has been a big push from students in recent years to improve campus alcohol policy, and navigating that process will be a real challenge for DSG. Enforcement of policies has been stricter in recent years, which has led more and more groups to host events off campus. Risky behavior increases as parties go off campus, and DSG will work this year to try and keep drinking regulated, safe and on campus.
Senior Stefani Jones will work to enact her vision as Duke Student Government president this year. Last year, as DSG vice president of equity and outreach, Jones lead the task force that overturned the University’s sexual misconduct policy. The Office of Student Conduct changed the sexual misconduct policy in Jan. 2012 so that victims of sexual assault had one year, instead of two, to report the incident. After months of student protest and multiple conversations between Jones and administrators, the University overturned the decision. The Chronicle’s Carleigh Stiehm sat down with Jones to discuss whatelse she hopes to accomplish this year as DSG president.
TC: What are you most excited about going into the new year? SJ: There was a ton of great energy during our elections in the spring, and I can’t wait to get back and start working with all of our new Senators and Vice Presidents. I want to hit the ground running, and I’ll be working all summer on projects to make sure next year is a success.
The Chronicle: If you could say anything to the incoming freshmen what would it be? Stefani Jones: It’s easy to be intimidated by college and new classmates, but don’t ever forget that you belong at Duke. I spent a good portion of my freshman year feeling like everyone was smarter and more qualified than me, and I missed out on a lot of opportunities to try new things and get involved. You are incredible and talented, and you’re qualified for more things than you think. Take a foreign language you’re scared of, try out for [Duke University Improv], or run for [a] DSG [position]. Just don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. TC: What is the first thing you want to see done in DSG next year? SJ: Right away, I want to work to improve the dining options for students on West Campus. A lot of people will be surprised when they come back from summer to a campus under construction, and I think it’s important that DSG does everything it can to make campus life better in the interim. It’s unfair to put the burden of construction on the student dining experience, and that’s why I’ll be pushing for changes like more food trucks, better Great Hall hours and more restaurants on the Merchants on Points program
TC: Were there any issues brought up in DSG that you would like to see again next year? SJ: Last year, my committee focused a lot on addressing sexual assault and harassment on campus. Sexual assault is a huge issue on all college campuses and last year I formed a Gender Equity Task Force to research ways Duke could change policies and norms surrounding sexual misconduct. I’ll be continuing that this year and presenting a plan to the Senate in the fall that addresses the issue at a University level.

TC: What else do you think students should be aware of before we start the new year? SJ: I’ll be focusing a lot of my efforts this year on improving DSG’s communication and transparency with the student body. I want to make sure that students on campus have a better idea of what DSG is doing and how to voice their concerns. In the works right now are a new DSG website, a Senator blog and much-needed improvements to DSG’s social media strategy.

Students critique housing model’s shortcomings by Raisa Chowdhury THE CHRONICLE
The first year of the new housing model finished with no major crises, but it highlighted some shortcomings of the University’s residential amenities. Prior to the 2012-13 school year, independent students—those unaffiliated with a selective living group or another organization that had its own housing section, such as a fraternity—were sorted into West Campus and Central Campus dorms their sophomore year. Each subsequent year, they were sorted again, with seniors’ preferences given priority over juniors and so on. But in 2012, the University instituted a much-discussed new policy intended to foster a sense of community: students were given “right of return” each year, the ability to stay in their dorm from year to year. Independent students’ dorms became houses in their own right, adopting names and building benches, and groups that previously had not had housing—notably, Panhellenic sororities— were given sections. In addition, West Campus now has gender-neutral housing, which only existed on Central Campus before. Feedback has been mostly neutral to positive, and so there will be few major changes made to the model going into its second year. But some students and administrators hold that to further improve residential life, the housing model will need to be paired with further student efforts and better facilities. “I feel like the model itself rolled out well, and we only had to make a few subtle adjustments,” Dean of Residential Life Joe Gonzalez said. “It wasn’t like we needed major changes right away and I felt like the independent houses got a start and that was all we expected from the first year. We hope the momentum that we developed in the first year will continue in the second year.” Not all students have wholeheartedly embraced the system, however. The new model has raised issues of differences in quality among University dorms, and some students have said that they do not feel any additional strong sense of community. Others have been frustrated with the fact that whether or not a student chooses to exercise his right of return carries greater weight in
housing assignments than does his seniority, and some have expressed discomfort with the fact that they forfeit their right of return if they want to change roommates. The next step for the housing model will largely have to be led by voluntary efforts from student leaders who embrace their communities, Dean of Undergraduate Education Steve Nowicki said. Though there have been discussions of assigning faculty members or asking dorms to hold dinner programs, the administration has steered away from telling students what to do. Instead, efforts have been redirected towards providing resources like lists of faculty interested in working with students and more funding to aid student-led efforts. “The natural settling point will arrange itself—there are always going to be some houses that are just a bunch of people, and there will always be houses that are selective and some that have stronger personalities,” Nowicki said. “This is the house where all the pink-haired people like to live, and this is the house where the political people and some will have musicians and some are just going to be mildly connective and the only thing students will get is the right of return.” Thus far, independent houses have not satisfied the desires of all residents. Junior Lisa Wanda chose to live in the substance-free community as a sophomore, hoping it would be quiet and clean but retain the sense of community that existed in the first-year wellness dorm that she lived in as a freshman. She said that she likes the housing model but that her residential experience did not end up being a significant part of her sophomore year. She and her roommate decided to move to Central Campus because there was little community tying her to the independent house in Wannamaker. “I hope there will be [community on Central], but I feel like it’s going to be worse, just because you’re probably not even going to see anyone,” Wanda said. “You have your own bathroom and kitchen space—there’s no reason to come outside.” Nowicki explained that independent houses in the current model are intended to mimic typical residential neighborhoods outside college settings, where
neighbors may draw comfort from knowing each other. They may occasionally gather but are not particularly attached or inclined to spend a lot of time together. Still, the familiarity provides a sense of community and wellbeing to residents, Nowicki said. Allowing students the right to return is intended to create a long-term sense of belonging and also to emulate the sense of community that often forms in first-year residential halls. Whether or not communities that form organically in independent houses are formalized as SLGs in the future will be determined by students, Gonzalez said. “We can help provide some structure, but it’s the students themselves who will make it a great place through their leadership,” Gonzalez said. HDRL is working on strengthening training programs for house council officers to provide a better overview of finances and leadership skills, Gonzalez noted. Hurdles along the way The quality of housing on-campus is proving an obstacle to a fully successful housing model, Nowicki said. “My biggest concern is that we need better housing stock,” Nowicki said. “[Keohane 4E] is fabulous. Central Campus students have been very pleased with renovations. The old, main west stuff—Craven and Crowell quads—are historically Duke, but actually really run down.” Junior Noel Vera noted that though living in Crowell costs less than in Few Quadrangle because it does not have air conditioning, this does not fully account for the lower quality of the facilities and lack of amenities. “Few is much more clean and the amenities are better kept,” Vera said. “We had two showers—one was broken all year. The bathroom radiator broke second semester. I talked to the maintenance guys personally, and they were like, ‘Oh, yeah, we’ll go fix it tomorrow’—nothing happened. We submitted a request—nothing happened. There were a lot of bug infestations… we had a bathroom pipe burst… so living conditions are completely SEE HOUSING ON PAGE 24

Interested in Policy Journalism? There’s still space available! Fall 2013 PUBPOL 381S.01
Science and Media TTH 10:05-11:20 Instructor: Misha Angrist Those who write about science, health and related policy matters for a general audience face a formidable challenge: to make complex, nuanced ideas understandable to the nonscientist in a limited amount of space and in ways that are engaging and entertaining, even if the topic is far outside the reader’s frame of reference. This is even more difficult in a time when acute crises tend to dominate the evershrinking print journalism universe. What, if anything, can writers do to get people to care about science? What does good science writing look like and what can we hope to get from it as readers and as citizens? What is the science writer’s job? We will examine different modes of science writing, different outlets for publication, and the peculiar editorial demands each places on the writer. We will consider multiple narrative approaches and various traps into which science writers may fall. Our first goal is to read broadly and deeply with particular attention to science stories as told by the best practitioners in the field. Our second goal is to write: about what we’ve read, about scientists we’ve talked to and the science they do, and about the meaning of it all to a public that is simultaneously bombarded by, fascinated with and alienated from science.
PUBPOL 385S.01
Higher Education and News Media TH 4:40-7:10 Instructor: John Burness America’s more-than-4,000 colleges and universities are more than a diverse collection of institutions where citizens are educated for participation in our democratic society. They are the principal providers of basic and applied research which drives innovation, economic and social progress, and the source of a well-trained cadre of future professionals in health professions, engineering, law, business, and the arts. Given the multiple facets of American life in which colleges and universities are central, it is not surprising that the news media regularly reports on higher education. In this seminar, we will explore together the historic relationship between higher education and the news media, what gets covered and what doesn’t, what should be covered more closely but isn’t, and why that is. We will explore together what higher education and the news media have in common, why they often are at odds with each other, and the implications for both higher education and the news media of the forces that are buffeting each other. This seminar occurs at an interesting time, given the heightened profile of higher education, particularly community colleges, by the Obama Administration. This combines with advances in technology that are altering higher education’s delivery systems and pressures for commercialization of higher education. The continuing economic downturn is having significant short-term and likely many long-term effects on the financial structures of colleges and universities, when demands for and demands on higher education are greater than ever. The increasing price of tuition when family incomes are stagnant, increasing loan indebtedness of students and questions about the value of higher education in a constraining job market occur as traditional media are in decline, reporting staffs have been decimated, and the news media as we have known it is in freefall.

Big city startup brings online food delivery to N.C. by Georgia Parke THE CHRONICLE
BringMeThat.com, an online food delivery startup, is now operating in North Carolina, providing users with hundreds of menus online to order food delivery without using a phone. The website consolidates local menus in one place and allows people to order and pay online without calling the restaurants directly, for a small fee that is reflected in the higher prices charged on items when ordering through the website. Started in New York by Michael LaMarca and Jason Liang, the website currently offers the take-out delivery middle-man service in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and now North Carolina. The company came to Durham after receiving a $50,000 grant from the Triangle Startup Factory technology accelerator—located in Durham—according to a BringMeThat press release. “We wanted to enter areas that haven’t had an online de-
livery service like this already,� Liang said. “We knew that in North Carolina there were not as many opportunities. Trying to set up in North Carolina happened to be a good place we could launch our second market.� So far, 1,459 restaurants in North Carolina are listed on the website. 80 are specific to Durham, including chains such as Jimmy Johns and Domino’s Pizza as well as local staples like Parker & Otis and Ninth Street Bakery. In addition to the full menus of the locations, BringMeThat also lists minimum order amounts, delivery fees and notes such as “catering only.� Users must create an account to order but do not need to provide anything other than an email address. An online chat box provides the website’s visitors with an opportunity to ask questions about the process. Liang explained that the draw of online ordering is mostly to save the time it takes to make a full phone call which often involves being put on hold. He also noted that the website saves the customer information and preferences to make fu-
ture ordering easier. “It’s more convenient if I’m studying and I want to place my order quickly,â€? said sophomore Charles Leo about ordering online. “With a phone, they often put you on hold and it takes a long time.â€? Liang noted that while BringMeThat did not have a primary demographic in mind at first, they have since noticed that “congregatedâ€? spaces such as college campuses and hotels tend to order delivery more. “College students are so busy,â€? Liang said. “[But] almost every single person has ordered delivery at some point—everyone has to eat.â€? Currently the website accepts all major credit cards but paying with DukeCard or cash is not an option. Although, students can still order online using food points at the Dukebased student run website Radoozle, which provides online ordering at seven local restaurants. What makes BringMeThat different from other online ordering systems is the combination of many different restaurants’ information onto one streamlined website, Liang said. “A lot of places partner [with restaurants] one by one,â€? he said. “What is unique about us is‌we have written algorithms‌ so we don’t have to email all restaurants individually. [We’re] kind of like an aggregator of menus. We’ll be able to get a lot of restaurants that way.â€? The Triangle Startup Factory facilitates a three-month mentorship program for the startups they accept. Program members receive $50,000 upfront and are eligible for up to $150,000 of additional support. Usually no more than five or six startups are accepted at one time, allowing for more individual attention and mentorship for each company, Liang said. BringMeThat applied to the Triangle Startup Factory in January, shortly after the business was founded. “We looked for accelerators both for the money and the mentorship and advice we get,â€? Liang said. “That [Triangle Startup Factory] was a great opportunity for us.â€? Ted Conner, vice president of economic development and community sustainability at the Durham Chamber of Commerce, noted the positive impact that the Triangle Startup Factory has had on the local economy and the group’s successful interactions with the Chamber. “We support and tweak the structure, try to help them as they develop and try to commercialize their products,â€? Conner said. “[We can] take advantage of the creativity and help them progress. We hope to do more in the future.â€? BringMeThat plans to launch services in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, after which they plan to “close outâ€? the North and Southeast markets. “In terms of our service, we will always be in North Carolina,â€? Liang said. “We’re looking to automate in the future‌ and eventually partner with the restaurants so we don’t have to charge [a fee].â€?

There are currently 57 renovation and construction projects underway, said Paul Manning, director of the office of project management, noting that more work is happening this year than at any point he can recall in his nine-year tenure. Although some of the projects are small, these large changes are part of a broader narrative of Duke advancing and expanding, said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. “We build for the future,” he said. “We plan for these buildings to be around for a hundred years or more—it’s a different way of looking at construction.” Several large, long-term projects will be immediately noticeable to students returning to campus in the Fall—most notably the completion of work on the new Events Pavilion and the Bryan Center, as well as the renovations that are just beginning in the West Union Building and the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library. Construction for the Events Pavilion, located west of the Bryan Center near Union Drive and Towerview Road, began last year. The structure—a modern building featuring curtain walls of glass, inspired by the Von der Heyden Pavilion—stands out from the Gothic background of West Campus and is designed to provide space for student gatherings. In years past, special events and meetings have typically been relegated to conference rooms on the lower level of the Bryan Center. In the future, the Events Pavilion will take over this role, possibly hosting events such as career fairs, sorority recruitment, dances and majors fairs, administrators have said. For the next two years, however, the pavilion will host the dining and event venues displaced by the West Union renovations. West Union—previously home to eateries such as the Great Hall, Alpine Bagels and The Loop, as well as student organizations including the Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Life and the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture—will undergo two years of renovations beginning in the Fall. The Center for LGBT Life will move from its location on the lower level of West Union to a more visible, permanent position in the Bryan Center, and the Mary Lou will relocate to Flowers Building—Wednesday night jazz included. The specifics of the new West Union and when it will be completed are still up in the air because of financial constraints. The new West Union will provide a space that is intended to lend itself more easily to student interaction—a building that is notably more fluid and interconnected, with plenty of communal space, as opposed to the previous patchwork collection of nooks and crannies. The structure will also feature improved accessibility for those with disabilities. The dining set-up of West Union will change as well. Although the Great
Hall will return, Subway and Chick-fil-A will leave campus. Students will still be able to get their favorite pizzas from The Loop, which will move to the Bryan Center to occupy the former location of the Armadillo Grill, which will also not return to campus. The new dining arrangement in the West Union will have increased seating and will focus on block-sized restaurant units, inspired by Mario Batali’s Eataly in New York City. The Duke Endowment, a philanthropic foundation independent of the University, provided an $80 million donation to fund the Events Pavilion and West Union, as well as the work on the Bryan Center, Page Auditorium and Baldwin Auditorium. Renovations on the Bryan Center and Baldwin will be complete in time for the upcoming semester, work on Page Auditorium is not expected to begin until after the remodel of West Union has finished. Other University projects that will be complete mplete in time for the 2013-14 school year include a $31.5 million remodeling deling of Gross Hall—formerly Gross Chemical Laboratory—and a $7 million n renovation of Gilbert-Addoms dormitory. Gross Hall will now house the political litical science department, and freshman dorm Gilbert-Addoms will featuree both improved living spaces and an updated version of its basement area, the Down Under. Ongoing renovations to the Rubenstein Library ibrary are the final step of the Perkins Project—a plan to redesign Duke’s West Campus libraries that has been in progress for more than a decade. ade. The project has so far resulted in the construction of the Bostock ck Library, von der Heyden Pavilion and the Link. The Rubenstein, connected to Perkins and home to Duke’s rare books and manuscripts, will expand its collection capacity and classroom space, as well as renovate historic reading rooms. During the renovations, students will still have access to Rubenstein materials, which have been moved to the third floor of Perkins Library. The University did not necessarily plan for this summer’s assortment of projects to occur all at once, Schoenfeld noted. Some off the current projects are the result of long-rangee planning, whereas others were being discussed prior to the economic onomic downturn of 2008 and were then temporarily put on hold, Schoenfeld ld said. d He noted that Duke consistently works to anticipate and accommodate the changing needs of its schools and departments. The current spate of construction follows $375 million of work that was done during the 2000s, including the French Family Science Center, the Nasher Museum of Art and the Coach K Center for Academic Excellence.

Just five years ago, to walk across Duke’s medical campus, patients, doctors and students had to cross a railroad track. Although first-time visitors to Duke’s medical center will now see an easy-to-navigate campus with striking facilities and top-notch equipment, this wasn’t always the case. Through years of planning, construction, hundreds of millions of dollars and a weathered financial crisis, DUHS transformed itself from a disjointed smattering of outdated buildings into a vibrant, cohesive campus that suits the needs and demands of students, physicians and a growing volume of patients. When Dr. Victor Dzau became chancellor for health affairs and president and CEO of DUHS nine years ago, he h saw Duke Medicine’s problems and issued a remedy—a master facility plan outlining all of the construction projects necessary for patients, students studen and physicians. “We found there was a lot of patient demand and, additionally, the populat is aging and needs more medical facilities,” he said. patient population DUHS’ much-needed muchfacelift has given medical students their first desfo classes and studying since the program was created in ignated space for 1930. The new additions, all made in the last two years, include a stateca of-the-art cancer center, 18 new operation rooms, 44 pre-operation rooms and high-end equipment and technology.

When the recession hit, Dzau was forced to go back to the drawing board to reevaluate which parts of his grand vision were feasible. Since DUHS employees were anxious about the future, he asked select people if they felt it was worth going through with the planned projects. “They said, ‘You have to do this because you’re invested in the future,’” Dzau said. “It’s like tightening my belt to invest in my kid’s education.” With the go-ahead from Dzau, DUHS slashed its budget by $50 million and began coming up with contingency plans in case “the world got worse,” Brown said.

the scale of a project in the middle of construction so that the buildings were completed at a cost DUHS could afford. The financial crisis caused many plans across the country to be slashed, which drastically lowered construction and overhead costs, he noted. As a result, DUHS saved $100 million on the Cancer Center and the Medical Pavilion. Prior to the recession, DUHS had also begun an initiative to drive patient care up in order to increase their operating budget, said Kenneth Morris, senior vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer of DUHS. This gave DUHS some wiggle room to pay off the costs of these major projects. “Some of the greatest universities were built during the Great Depression,” Brown noted, citing Duke as an example. The health system has also begun moving employees into downtown Durham, at little cost to DUHS because developers are fronting the costs for the renovations and upgrades to convert warehouses into labs and office space. Of its major construction costs, DUHS was financially responsible for only the Cancer Center and Medical Pavilion because they were medical facilities. Since the Trent Semans Center was for medical students, the University took on those costs. Still, the Cancer Center and Medical Pavilion cost $830 million collectively and, to front costs like that, DUHS often takes out loans, Morris said. “Debt is a useful tool… especially for long-term assets,” he said. “A building addition has a use of 30 plus years, so it’s a good candidate to borrow money for.” To pay off those loans, DUHS has already lowered its operating budget and plans to continue doing so for the next couple of years, Dzau said. “It’s not a major impact,” he said. “There is an impact to be sure, but our operating budget will be less in the coming years to pay off the buildings.” Morris said DUHS is currently operating on $1.2 billion in debt that has accumulated over 30 years. He noted that for an organization of DUHS’ size that this is a very conservative debt amount. Going Forward Although the DUHS has made significant strides, there is still work to be done. The Cancer Center has been open for over a year now, however the program is slightly behind with its patient volume projection, Dzau said. Regardless, the Cancer Center is still financially performing well. Because the Medical Pavilion is now complete, DUHS can now start renovations on Duke North without worrying about where to put patients, Brown said. “We built Duke North when there were no computers—there is barely enough electricity,” he said. “It’s a $60 million project, [and] it’s easier to build a Duke Medical Pavilion than to do a retrofit.” He noted that there is also discussion about making a pediatric care building, but that this is still in the development phase. Overall, Duke’s medical campus has undergone a series of changes and does not plan on slowing down projects any time soon. “It’s not the building that makes a difference it’s what the people do inside,” Brown said. “This will all be a great change for us.”

Demolitions make way for new flavors by Carleigh Stiehm THE CHRONICLE
Students will have a new set of dining choices on West Campus when they return to Duke in the Fall. With the plans for renovations to West Union, students will find some old favorite eateries displaced or missing all together, but students will find new venues at which to spend their food points. Duke Dining will offer three new options in the upcoming academic year, said Rick Johnson, assistant vice president of student affairs for housing, dining and residence life. The Bryan Center will hold frozen yogurt vendor Red Mango and a new and more expansive version of The Loop Pizza Grill and the Events Pavillion will handle the cafeteria-style services previously offered in the Great Hall. “The mission of Duke Dining is to create and facilitate community on campus by providing great healthy food, great service, and a place for students, faculty and staff to come together to break bread, talk, reflect and enjoy,� Johnson said. Johnson previously told The Chronicle that he recognizes that the temporary closing of West Union will put a strain on HDRL and the Duke community that wishes to eat on West Campus. Both Subway and Chick-fil-A, which have resided in the West Union, did not have their contracts renewed, and will not return to campus following West Union renovations. “Some negative effects during construction are unavoidable, but there is no reason why Duke should not work to provide additional services for students in the interim,� senior Stefani Jones, president of Duke Student Government, wrote in her presidential agenda. “While these measures will be at additional cost to the University, it is unacceptable to put the burden of construction on the student eating experience.� Jones added that she—in conjunction with sophomore Lavanya Sunder, DSG vice president for services—will begin meeting dining vendors in person after returning to Durham on August 1. “I’ve already started talking with Duke about expanding options, hours and the number of food trucks for next year,� she said. Duke Dining began planning for the closing of West Union over two years ago, Johnson said. He added that the first phase of the plan was to replace the “under-performing, dark� Alpine location in the Bryan Center with Au Bon Pain, a vibrant, high volume restaurant that has been hugely popular with students. The second phase of the plan was to expand the offerings in the space formerly occupied by Armadillo Grill and do a major renovation of the area, Johnson said. “Dining attempted to work with Armadillo Grill and asked them to keep their menu and explore ways to expand their offerings, but ultimately Armadillo declined to improve their space or entertain additional menu offerings for students,� he said. The overwhelming favorite in the replacement process was The Loop, Johnson noted. “It is doubtful that the Dillo could have beaten out the Loop even if they did bid,� he said. “The new Loop will be great.� The last phase of the plan—and the most exciting— is the Events Pavilion, Johnson said. The Pavilion will ultimately offer space for meetings and events, but it will house temporary dining for two years and should approximate the Great Hall. “When other schools plan renovations to major dining facilities, students are most often relegated to a tent for two years,� Johnson said. “The Pavilion, however, is indicative of Duke’s commitment to students and to the student experience.� He added that it is a beautiful addition to student life that will serve students well for two years of temporary dining before transitioning into a student events pavilion for many years to come.

From bookworm to billionaire: meet Rubenstein by Julian Spector THE CHRONICLE

David Rubenstein, Trinity `70, will become Chair of the Board July 1st.
When incoming chair of the Board of Trustees, David Rubenstein, Trinity ’70, was young, he consistently borrowed and read the maximum number of books that his public library allowed. He loved reading because, even from his room in a working class neighborhood of Baltimore, books could show him the world. These days, one of Duke’s libraries has his name on it, and he is more likely to buy books than to borrow them. Some of his favorite purchases include original copies of the Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment. Luckily for the world, Rubenstein likes to share. “I’m not against people putting things in their home, but I want people to see these, so I put them in

the Smithsonian and the National Archives,” he said. Rubenstein was calling from his car while driving to Dulles International Airport from the Library of Congress, where he had organized a dinner discussion for Republican and Democratic congressmen and senators to come together and talk about Thomas Jefferson. He was about to fly to Minneapolis, Minn. for work. He no longer needs books to take him around the world, because he travels about 260 days each year as co-CEO of global investment giant the Carlyle Group, which had total assets of $31.6 billion at the end of 2012. Despite Rubenstein’s many accomplishments, the multibillionaire noted that he would have never imagined that his life would round out this way as a high school student. “If people from our class were picking who would be chairman of the Board of Trustees, I don’t think I would have gotten a lot of votes in 1970,” Rubenstein said. “I wasn’t first in my class, I wasn’t a star athlete, but I got lucky and that’s how life works.” Rubenstein’s childhood friend, Steve Baron, corroborated this sense of surprise. “I wish I could come up with something that said, ‘This guy is going to be one of the most successful businessmen in America,’” said Baron, who now directs mental health for the District of Columbia. “I don’t have that memory.” Rubenstein and Baron became friends at some point after Bar Mitzvah age, Baron recalled. They attended high school together at Baltimore City College and participated in the Lancers Boys Club, a sports and culture club for teenagers organized by former Baltimore judge Robert Hammerman. The Lancers’ Friday evening meetings frequently featured speakers from accomplished public service backgrounds. The two used to pass the time at Colts games—the football team was stationed in Baltimore back then— but Baron eventually noticed a change in Rubenstein’s work ethic. “He became very focused about 11th grade on academics, almost on par with a driven athlete,” Baron said. “Up to that point, I think he was a little more fun-loving, but he got very serious and very focused, and look where it’s taken him.” At that point, Baron said, Rubenstein became one of the hardest workers around, racking up hours on hours studying in the library. “He probably knew he wanted to go somewhere and knew it would take a lot of work, and he was willing to put in a lot of work,” Baron suggested. If hard work alone sufficed, though, there would be many more billionaires in the world. Rubenstein listed hard work first among his core skills for success in business, but he added that work volume goes hand in hand with personal engagement. “Nobody ever achieved anything great working nine to five, five days a week,” he said. “If you’re going do something with your life, find something you really enjoy.” Rubenstein applied himself to several different passions through the years. When he applied to college at age 16, his father was working in a post office, and his mother worked in a retail store. Duke offered the largest scholarship, so he went there, even though he had never set foot on campus. While he was a student, Rubenstein worked in the library to help pay the remaining tuition while he pursued a degree in political science. After graduating magna cum laude from Duke, he went on to law school at the University of Chicago. A few years later, he headed to Capital Hill to work for Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind., but when Bayh’s 1976 bid for the Democratic presidential primary fell through, Rubenstein began work on Jimmy Carter’s presidential campaign. Carter’s campaign fared better, and Rubenstein landed a spot in the White House as Carter’s deputy domestic policy advisor at the ripe young age of 27. From there, Rubenstein ticks off the steps in his career with almost scientific matter-of-factness. Carter lost to Reagan, and he was out of a job. He practiced law for a few years.

Stalnecker mulls University’s evolution by Lauren Carroll THE CHRONICLE
When Susan Stalnecker arrived in 1970, Duke was preparing to merge the Woman’s College and men’s Trinity College into one Trinity College of Arts and Sciences. Now, Stalnecker, Trinity ’73, is a vice president at DuPont and the first female vice chair of the Duke Board of Trustees. Although she says Duke in the present can’t be compared to Duke of the 1970s, Stalnecker believes that many of the values that led her to success both in college and her professional career as a woman still hold true today. As a freshman, she lived in Pegram residence hall on East Campus, where all women lived at the time. But the next year, she moved to Kilgo Quadrangle, as part of the first class of women to live on West Campus alongside their male classmates. In that first year, Stalnecker did not sense that men and women had contrasting Duke experiences other than living on different campuses. “I don’t think I even at the time perceived it was a woman’s college—I just went to Duke,” she said. “It didn’t stand out to me as a distinction because we all went to the same classes.” She felt that men and women were relatively equal at Duke, but there were some slight differences that highlighted where men had an advantage. For example, the fields where women’s sports teams practiced were of much lower quality than the men’s fields—so much so that she sprained her ankle during field hockey practice. “You [also] realized what a tremendous benefit it was for the men [to live on West] because you didn’t have to take the bus all the time,” she added. Outside of field hockey, Stalnecker said she spent most of her time in the library. She finished her degree in just three years, graduating summa cum laude with a double major in economics and history. After Duke, Stalnecker and her husband—Mark Stalnecker, also Trinity ’73—earned MBAs at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. She then took a job at DuPont, over one at Goldman Sachs, because she thought she could get a richer experience in the corporate environment. In her 37 years at DuPont, she has served in numerous capacities, holding executive roles in finance, consumer markets, risk management and hospitality, eventually leading to her current role of vice president of global fixed cost infrastructure. Duke continues to be an integral part of Stalnecker’s life. Her freshman year roommate remains one of her closest friends and her children’s godmother. Aside from her husband, both of her children are Blue Devils—twins Erica, Trinity ’06 and Law ’11, and Andrew, Pratt ’06 and current MBA candidate at the Fuqua School of Business. “It’s a wonderful family dynamic and a lot of fun,” Stalnecker said, noting that they are all big basketball fans. Stalnecker has also been on the Board since 2003 and has served on the business and finance, audit and executive committees. She is also actively involved in the Duke Alumni Association and a member of the Duke University Health System Board of Directors. Stalnecker said the Duke that she deals with as a Board member has modernized tremendously in terms of diversity since she was a student. She noted the student body’s racial and socioeconomic make up as well as the increasing number of female deans as examples. Of the Board, she said her new role as vice chair exemplifies the positive gender balance—15 women to 22 men. She added that there are numerous women on the Board who inspire her. “The University has evolved as the times have evolved—it is going to create a community that’s rich in dialogue and academic pursuits,” she said. The Duke environment is one that encourages students to take advantage of as many opportunities as they can while they’re in college, Stalnecker said, pointing to the strong faculty and programs like DukeEngage. She added that seizing opportunities and working hard are keys to success. “Learn as much as you can from other people and use this time in your life to diverge as much as you can—don’t converge too soon,” Stalnecker said.

Dukethisyear Staff reports THE CHRONICLE
The academic year concluded after a series of immense campus policy changes and historic athletic feats. Students entered senior year shortly after two Duke athletes—senior Abby Johnston and junior Nick McCrory—won silver and bronze medals in the 2012 London Olympics, respectively. Johnston received a silver medal in synchronized 3-meter springboard diving and McCrory took home the bronze in synchronized 10-meter platform diving. The University launched Duke Forward—its largest capital campaign in history—with a goal to raise $3.25 billion by June 2017. The campaign has raised $1.59 billion so far. After months of student protest, the University eliminated the one-year statute of limitations on stu-
dent sexual misconduct. The revised policy means that the University disciplinary process can respond to reports filed against a student until that student graduates. The change was proposed by a student task force. Dr. Robert Lefkowitz, James B. Duke professor of medicine and professor of biochemistry and immunology, became the first standing faculty member to receive a Nobel Prize in October. The Royal Swedish Academy of Science awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to Lefkowitz and his colleague, Dr. Brian Kobilka—a former postdoctoral fellow at Duke who worked under Lefkowitz—for “studies of G proteincoupled receptors.” In November, President Barack Obama won a second term with 303 electoral votes, which exceeded the 270 needed to clinch victory in the 2012 presidential election. The Chronicle, in partnership with the

Duke Initiative on Survey Methodology, conducted an IRB-approved poll of 3,200 undergraduates via email from Oct. 30 to Nov. 2, which showed that, of the students who responded, the majority supported Obama for president. The poll yielded 1,155 responses, and 65.6 percent of respondents said they would vote for Obama. Athletic triumphs continued throughout the year as Duke football earned bowl eligibility for the first time since 1994 with a last-second victory against North Carolina. The Blue Devils squared off against the Cincinnati Bearcats at the Belk Bowl at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., but ultimately did not take home the win. Although Duke lost 4834, Duke football finished its season with a series of successes, including bowl eligibility for the first time in 18 years and head football coach David Cutcliffe named ACC Coach of the Year. Duke celebrated its 50th anniversary of integration throughout the Spring semester. Events included visits from the first class of black undergraduates and a keynote address given by Sen. Mo Cowan, D-Mass. and Trinity ’91. Duke men’s and women’s basketball teams both had successful seasons, with both teams beating the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill at home and away and making it to the Elite Eight. Duke women’s basketball also won the ACC tournament title, beating North Carolina 92-73 to capture its eighth ACC tournament title in program history and third in the last four seasons. In February, an “International Relations” party held by Kappa Sigma fraternity drew major backlash from community members for its depiction of Asian stereotypes. Several students, including seniors Ashley Tsai, Tong Xiang and Ting-Ting Zhou, posted fliers across campus protesting the party, which took place Feb. 1. Students also held a rally at the West Campus bus stop, and called for a new task force to deal with group bias incidents like the party, as well as for community service by the members of Kappa Sigma. As a result of the party’s backlash, the Kappa Sigma fraternity was suspended by its national organization. The Coalition for an Inclusive Duke and the brothers of Kappa Sigma jointly released a statement pledging to work together to change a “problematic environment” at Duke. The Duke Student Government Senate unanimously passed legislation calling for expansion of the current health care plan to better fit the medical needs of the transgender community. After DSG backed student health insurance coverage for sex reassignment surgery, administrators signed a new contract with Duke’s health insurance provider, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, that will include up to $50,000 to cover the procedure. The Duke Arts and Sciences Council voted down a motion to adopt for-credit online courses. The final tally was 14 council members voting to approve for-credit online courses and 16 against it, with two abstentions. If the motion had passed, Duke would have entered into online education company 2U’s Semester Online consortium, a three-year pilot program.

FORWARD from page 5 “It isn’t just the courses students take, it is the entire experience that students have on campus,” he said. “That is something you just cannot get anywhere else.” Nowicki added that money raised by the campaign will finance the continuation and expansion of DukeEngage and that the University is always looking for more money to support such programs that aid students’ learning experiences, he said. “Duke Forward will help to maintain innovative learning both in and out of the classroom,” Nowicki said. “Programs like Duke Immerse and DukeEngage provide a different way of thinking about learning.” Nowicki noted that some of the money raised by the campaign has already been spent. During the silent phase of Duke Forward, the Charlotte-based Duke Endowment-—a philanthropic group independent of the University—pledged $80 million to fund construction on the West Union Building, Page Auditorium and Baldwin Auditorium. The University began construction in Fall 2011 with Baldwin renovations, which are scheduled to be completed in the Fall. University-wide, administrators have big plans for campaign funds. “Several of the larger gifts are in the form of endowed professorships and scholarships that we are already spending,” said Tom Katsouleas, dean of the Pratt School of Engineering. Among Pratt’s gifts is a $10 million donation from Jeff Vinik, Pratt ’81 and his wife Penny, to establish 10 professorships, Katsouleas said. The donation was a matching challenge gift that needed matching from other donors—other donors have now matched eight of the 10 posts. Katsouleas added that Pratt will use campaign dollars to fund program growth in the form of a new joint building with the physics department. He noted that the goals of Duke Forward are directly in line with the goals of Pratt. “The campaign really supports two main things— Duke’s excellence, which needs continuing support to maintain and move forward and our vision for a new type of education that engages students in hands-on learning tied to big societal issues,” he said. The endowed professorships and scholarships are examples of the first goal, and Bass Connections—a new interdisciplinary program funded by Duke Forward— and a new future engineering building are examples of the second, Katsouleas said. The Divinity School is also benefiting from the contributions of donors, said Dan Struble, associate dean for external relations of the Divinity School. “The philanthropic support the campaign is generating is essential to assuring the highest quality education for our students through support for student financial aid and for faculty, and to creating a better world through our many centers and initiatives,” Struble said. Fuqua School of Business’ $100 million goal will be used to recruit and retain faculty, create innovative student experiences that connect academics to practice and provide merit scholarships, wrote Erin Medlyn, public relations manager for Fuqua, in an email June 18. She added that one third of full-time MBA students receive some form of merit scholarship. Fuqua’s full-time MBA program is the fourth least expensive of the top 20 schools, but students graduate with the largest debt load, she noted. The School of Law plans on using its funds in three areas—endowing faculty, supporting its annual fund and providing scholarships. The Nicholas School plans on using Duke Forward to fund environmental entrepreneurship programs, field trips for experiential learning experiences and new research projects in the school’s future location, the Duke Environment Hall, to be completed March 2014. Representatives from the Duke School of Law and the Nicholas School for the Environment could not be reached, as they are out of the country for the summer. Progress so far According to a June 17 progress report for the campaign, Duke Libraries leads the fundraising totals, with 69 percent of their $45 million goal reached. The Nicholas School for the Environment is close behind, having raised 67 percent of its $55 million goal. Athletics has raised 58 percent of its $250 million goal. The Divinity School, the Fuqua School of Business, the School of Law, the Pratt School of Engineering and Duke Medicine have also surpassed half of their goals.

of Arts and Sciences and its graduate school are the only entities to fall below the 50 percent mark, with 49, 47 and 15 percent of their respective goals raised. Since the campaign became public, 11 donations equal to or exceeding $5 million have been announced. Two of these gifts have come from the Charlotte-based Duke Endowment—$5 million went to the law school and $5.74 million went to the Divinity School, both announced in June. Five of the announced donations support Duke Athletics. Dr. Steven Scott, a member of Duke Forward’s campaign steering committee, and his wife, Rebecca Scott, Allied and Graduate Health ’79, donated $10 million for a new athletic facility in October and gave an additional $20 million in April for a sports medicine pavilion. Chair of the Board of Trustees David Rubenstein, Trinity ’70, donated $10 million to the athletic department in December. Roy and Merilee Bostock, both Trinity ’62, donated $5 million in February. Morris Williams, Trinity ’63, and his wife Ruth, Women’s College ’63, donated $5 million in May to support track and field.
Nancy Nasher, Law ’79, and her husband David Haemisegger donated $5 million to the Nasher Museum of Art in October. In April, Rubenstein donated $10 million to the Sanford School for Public Policy. Anne Bass, co-chair of the campaign and a member of the Board of Trustees, donated $50 million—the largest single donation of the campaign in its public phase— to fund Bass Connections in January. The new program aims to enhance students’ educational experience by connecting them with other students and faculty for academic and extracurricular programming across a variety of disciplines. After two years of planning, Bass Connections will begin in the Fall under the leadership of Susan Roth, vice provost for interdisciplinary studies. University trustee Ralph Eads, Trinity ‘81, and his wife, Lisa, donated $5.5 million to the University in June. $4.25 million of the total will support Duke’s Energy Initiative, while the remaining $1.25 million will be divided between the annual funds for Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, Sanford School of Public Policy, Fuqua School of Business and Duke Athletics.

RUBENSTEIN from page 18 firm in D.C.,� Rubenstein said. “I am today co-CEO of the Carlyle group. That firm has succeeded sufficiently well such that I am in a position to give away money.� For a bit of context, Forbes pegged Rubenstein’s net worth at $3 billion as of March. But Rubenstein has always been understated, said another childhood friend and Lancers alumnus, Kurt Schmoke, who served as mayor of Baltimore for 12 years. “He’s very, very thorough in whatever he does, but I’ve never found him to be a publicity seeker,� said Schmoke, who is now vice president and general counsel of Howard University. As for why he left government and the legal profession, Rubenstein insists he wasn’t too successful there. “Jimmy Carter didn’t get re-elected and I helped get the inflation rate up to 19 percent, so there wasn’t a lot of demand for me to go back,� he said. With Carlyle, though, Rubenstein had a strategic advantage in being the first buyout firm in Washington and using his knowledge of the territory to focus on companies that work with the federal government, in order to buy and trade them better than a firm in New York might. Since then, The Carlyle Group has invested $89 billion over 26 years with a return of about 30 percent, he said. They now oversee 210 companies, managing about $175 billion in assets from 34 offices around the world. Rubenstein has applied himself to giving away money with a diligence akin to his professional pursuits. He has given more than $50 million to Duke over
the years. A Sanford School of Public Policy building and Duke’s rare book and manuscript library bear his name. Since May 2012, Rubenstein has given $10 million more to Sanford, $10 million to the Athletics Department and $15 million for the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Initiative. He also cochairs the Duke Forward capital campaign, which aims to raise $3.25 billion by 2017. Outside of Duke, Rubenstein said he is involved in some 30 nonprofit boards as well as capital campaigns at the University of Chicago, Harvard University, the Smithsonian Institution, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Kennedy School of Government and the Trust For the National Mall. He serves as the principal underwriter for the annual National Book Festival in D.C. He donated $7.5 million to match Congress’ contribution to repair the Washington Monument after damage from an earthquake in 2011. Even with his national and international commitments, Schmoke said, Rubenstein has not lost touch with those with whom he grew up. “Dave was inducted into his high school’s hall of fame, and he treated that as one of the highest awards he received in his entire life,� Schmoke said. “He remains attached to his roots.� Of the many causes he has chosen to champion, though, Rubenstein seems to hold Duke in a special standing. “I would like to be chairman not because I want to preside over 16 board meetings or just hold the position, but because I want to make Duke an even better school than it already is,� he said. “Duke was very good to me, and Duke is an important national resource. If Duke does well it will be good for the coun-

HOUSING from page 8 different in the newer dorms, it’s not just the AC.� Housekeeping on West Campus was also less efficient than that of Giles residence hall where he lived his first-year, Vera said. “Our hallways were very dirty, they barely ever mopped, there were smells going from hallway to hallway—some were good, some were bad, I think something died above the fake roof,� he said. He added that there was mold in the showers and the same candy wrapper was in the stairwell all semester. “The model is a good idea definitely, but I think for it to work they have to make all the living spaces more equal,� Vera said. “If you want to get there your sophomore year and stay in the same place until you graduate, you have to live in a nice place and you can’t be thinking, ‘These people who live in Kilgo have it way better than us.’�
Gonzalez said that the quality of the housing is a problem that has existed for some time and is not unique to the new housing model. He noted that he does not know if or when larger scale renovations might be possible but said that the issue is on HDRL’s radar. “We’re trying to pursue it on a micro level,� he said. “We’re trying to pursue it each summer, adding kitchens to houses that don’t have a kitchen—our ambition is that every house will have a kitchen. We want houses all to have a study room, but we’re not here yet.� One of the most common reasons students declined right of return was because their preferred roommate lived in another house, Gonzalez said. HDRL is considering allowing students with right of return to bring in other students. Piecing it together Stir about a new housing model began approximately four years ago, when administrators realized the residential system was “vastly under performing,� said Nowicki, who spearheaded the process of creating

and implementing the new house model. Independent students were dissatisfied with a two-tiered system in which students in social selective groups had the privilege of returning to a section but independent students did not. “Everyone else was treated like hermits and nomads—nomads because they had to go into a lottery system every year and hermits because the tacit assumption is that independents, as you were called, were tucked away wherever there was space,â€? he said. Nowicki said implementing the model is going much better than he expected, especially given that it is new and unfamiliar to students. “When we put in the new system, we assumed that students would inherently not like it,â€? he said. Senior Kristina Hallam for example, lived in Edens her sophomore year but decided to live in the housing section of her service fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega, because she did not enjoy her housing experience as an independent. “I really didn’t have any community—I didn’t know the people around me,â€? Hallam said. APO existed as a student organization prior to the housing model but was granted status as a selective living group under the model and just completed its first year with housing. Hallam who served as president of APO this past year, said that now she knows everyone who lives around her and feels much more at home. For some students, the adjustment to a new housing system was more difficult than expected. Student feedback was mixed on the switch from seniority being top priority to right of return being valued most, depending on whether it worked in their favor, Gonzalez said. “The housing model was never really explained very well,â€? senior Ahmed Alshareef said. “They had information sessions about it, but they never sent out any real information about it.â€? Going into his last year, Alshareef wanted to live in a newer dorm, having lived in Brown residence hall his first year and Craven Quadrangle A for two years after that—a dorm he considers relatively “dilapidated.â€? Not realizing that seniority was valued less than right of return, his block of eight juniors expected to get a good pick in the lottery but were placed in Edens Quadrangle, their lowest ranked choice. “I don’t like that very much that [right of return] was their priority in terms of housing,â€? Alshareef said. “Sophomores get a better pick than I do and I’m a senior who has lived on West for two years‌. It’s just a dorm, but I’m still not happy about it.â€? Nowicki noted that going into the next year, logistics of how to assign rooms and how to assess the process will be reevaluated. “One thing that students appropriately most complained about in anticipation of the first year is that independents would be assigned randomly and of course nobody really liked it, but the only reason we did that in the very first year is because the student committee decided that,â€? Nowicki said. Nowicki said he hopes that eventually more seniors will stay on campus, as currently a number of seniors choose off-campus housing as a result of not feeling a sense of community in the residential halls. Alshareef considered going off campus, but ultimately decided against it. “This is probably my last chance having the choice of living in a dorm on a campus and after this, I’ll always probably be living in an apartment or at home and it’s more fun and exclusive to the college life,â€? Alshareef said. “I wouldn’t feel as immersed in it as I would offcampus.â€? Nowicki noted the importance of a residential, oncampus experience. “The value of a residential college is the residential system provides a framework for students [in] groups to connect to other groups,â€? he said, emphasizing that the typical Duke student is involved with a number of different groups and facilitating interaction between students allows multiple student networks to benefit from shared knowledge. “It’s really that connection that makes a liberal arts community very special. College in my day was take 34 courses, maybe get a job in the summer, but now it’s really changed to a four year script that has the academic pieces as a core part of it, but whether it’s being an editor at The Chronicle or a student government leader or starting some entrepreneurial startup— this is just as much of a valuable part of a student education,â€? he added.
