Student speaker: Shannon Beckham Claire Ballentine The Chronicle Senior Shannon Beckham will serve as the student commencement speaker at the 2016 commencement ceremony. Beckham’s speech was chosen out of 30 speeches submitted to a committee of administrators, faculty members and students. She will present it May 15 at Duke’s 2016 commencement ceremony in Wallace Wade Stadium. Beckham, a public policy major with a certificate in policy journalism and media studies, explained that she plans to discuss the shared experiences of the Class of 2016 in her speech. “I want to get up there and say something that can really make a difference,” she said. Beckham noted that her speech focuses on values like empathy but is not “just fluffy.” “I talk about how on a day like graduation, we all talk about how we’re so great, but no one talks about how we are good people,” she said. She wants to express to the Class of 2016 that the values they learned at Duke should guide them toward a path of goodness, not just greatness, she explained. However, she noted that her speech is not about imparting wisdom but rather grappling with what the Class of 2016 has learned at Duke. Beckham gained experience in writing speeches from her internship at the White House last summer where she served on a speechwriting team for President Barack Obama. She worked to find anecdotes and

historical references for President Obama’s speeches, including ones that he gave on visits to Kenya and Ethiopia. She also assisted when Obama announced the reestablishment of diplomatic ties with Cuba and when he spoke in Charleston following a church shooting there in June. She explained that this job taught her the value of incorporating research into speeches. “Before I started writing this speech, I went through old letters and speeches from past Duke presidents to learn about what they saw as the vision for Duke when it was founded,” Beckham wrote in an email.

worked for the Sanford School of Public Policy’s Reporter’s Lab on fact-checking initiatives and founded the Duke chapter of Democracy Matter. In addition, she studied abroad in Argentina and did DukeEngage in India working with Pakistani refugees. She said that she hopes to make a career out of speech-writing. After graduation, she will join the speechwriting team that supports Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. She will work with the campaign at least until the election in November. “We’ll have to see how that goes,” she said about her new job in a Duke Today release. “Six months from now I don’t know where I’ll be—which is exciting.” Members of the committee that selected Beckham noted that they are excited to hear her speech this weekend. “She had an honest approach in her speech,” said Sterly Wilder, associate vice president for Duke Alumni Affairs and chair of the selection committee, in the release. “She was vulnerable and she wanted her message to be distinctly Duke. It really resonated.” Beckham noted that she hopes her speech will make an impact this weekend. “I think it only takes one line hitting home with one person in the audience for the speech to make a difference, so that’s what I’m hoping to accomplish this weekend,” she wrote.

Speeches with “beautiful rhetoric or compelling stories” give her inspiration, she noted, adding that she enjoys working with language. Beckham said that she plans to incorporate her experiences at Duke into her commencement address, especially the lessons she has learned as the president of DefMo, a multicultural student dance group. The people she encountered through this activity helped her learn the value of empathy, she said. “It’s the people and the experiences outside of the classroom that have taught us empathy,” she said. Editor’s note: The Chronicle spoke with During her time at Duke, Beckham has Beckham both via phone and via email.

Commencement speaker: Mike Krzyzewski Amrith Ramkumar The Chronicle Men’s basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski will be this year’s commencement speaker. Krzyzewski has patrolled the sidelines for 36 seasons, and last year he became the first men’s basketball Division I head coach to win 1,000 games—en route to leading the Blue Devils to their fifth national title. President Richard Brodhead noted in October, when the decision was announced, that Krzyzewski’s lengthy tenure at Duke was one of the main reasons he was selected to speak. “Duke has been my home for more than 35 years,” Krzyzewski said in a release in October. “During that time, one of my greatest joys has been sharing time with our students, who are amazing representatives of this university. They are the lifeblood that accentuates the excellence for which Duke University is known throughout the world. It was humbling to be asked to address the students, and I consider it a tremendous honor to able to spend time with them at such an important event in their lives.” Brodhead said that Krzyzewski’s work coaching men’s basketball represents the values and ambitions of the University. “He is a teacher,” Brodhead said. “He takes people with talent, and he inspires them and challenges them and drives them to learn how to live up to a far higher level of their ability. For me, that’s really an emblem of Duke itself.” Before coming to Duke in 1980, Krzyzewski played for the United States

Military Academy at West Point and coached their men’s basketball team as well. He has also served as head coach of the United States men’s national basketball team from 2006 onwards and will continue to do so this year. Krzyzewski has received several accolades during his career. He was inducted twice into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001 and 2010, into the College Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006 as well as the Olympic Hall of Fame in 2009. The University has had a variety of speakers in recent years—global health expert Paul Farmer last May, Melinda Gates in 2013 and journalist

Fareed Zakaria in 2012, to name a few. Brodhead explained, however, that Krzyzewski’s sports background will add another unique perspective to the 2016 commencement ceremony. “I’ve been thinking about it for awhile. Through the years, we’ve had very different people, and there’s not one model,” Brodhead said. “All I want is someone who cares that they’re at Duke rather than some generic university. I once heard a very fine commencement speech, but I later learned it was given at 12 other universities—I’m not having that.” Krzyzewski is also responsible for launching the Emily Krzyzewski Center—

named after his mother—in 2006 to help students from various backgrounds achieve their college goals through the K to College program. The Center celebrated its tenth anniversary last month, which was also marked by the Center’s first cohort of high-school seniors graduating from college. “One of the greatest gifts that Coach K has given the Center is setting the bar for what good work should look like here really high. That is to say, take this opportunity, take this canvas and make it something fantastic,” said Adam Eigenrauch, the Center’s executive director. Krzyzewski has been an active fundraiser for various charitable organizations, including the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Duke Children’s Hospital. Many members of Duke’s next graduating class were enthusiastic about the decision to have Krzyzewski speak. “Coach K gave a Blue Devil Days speech [before I matriculated] and I’m pretty excited to hear what he’s going to say about us going off into the future,” senior Cody Parrott said. “It was pretty much his speech that convinced me to go here over other places I got into.” Other students compared Krzyzewski’s ability to inspire players to the messages he can deliver to the graduates. “He’s a pretty inspirational individual—he can get Team USA all the way to win in the Olympics and has won multiple national championships,” senior Aashna Saini said. “He inspires a lot of his players to be more than just players on the court and off the court, so I think he could be a great inspiration for us going into the real world.”

Duke community celebrates Chapel reopening Sarah Feng The Chronicle After being closed for the past year, the Duke Chapel reopened Wednesday in a day-long ceremony. The Chapel closed May 11, 2015, when the University deemed renovations necessary after a piece of the ceiling collapsed in 2012. President Richard Brodhead and Luke Powery, dean of the Duke Chapel, kicked off the celebration with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, after which Duke community members were allowed to enter the building for the first time in a year. “This is the most beautiful building in the American South,” Brodhead said in a speech to the crowd attending the ribboncutting ceremony. The project cost approximately $19.2 million, according to a Duke Today release, and included replacing the roof, improving the electrical system and restoring the Chapel’s stained glass windows. Services were held in Baldwin Auditorium last summer and have been held in Page Auditorium during the academic year while the Chapel underwent renovations. The construction work was the first major restoration of the building since it was built in the 1930s. Brodhead said that the Chapel has always been part of the University’s history, noting that Duke’s founder James B. Duke had insisted on having a “great towering church” on campus. “Duke Chapel has been etched into the mind and hearts of anyone who has anything to do with this University,” Brodhead said. “Anyone who has ever been here has seen

and received the unbelievable impression of this place.” Although home to a Christian congregation, Brodhead noted that the Chapel is a place for people of all faiths as well as those without a faith, explaining that the Chapel is a symbol of Duke. Going a year without the Chapel served as a “year of chastisement” and “exile,” Brodhead explained, which reminds Duke to practice the values that the Chapel reflects and symbolizes. Powery echoed Brodhead’s remarks, noting that he is extremely grateful the Chapel has reopened for the Duke community. “The building is just a symbol that we as a community are also open. It’s a time of renewal and celebration,” Powery said. “For us, just as we started today, when we had the little opening ceremony with President Brodhead on the steps, it’s really the theme of gratitude.” Powery explained that he wants to make this year a celebration for all that has happened in the past and will happen in the future. He added that he is planning special celebratory events throughout the year to highlight different aspects of the Chapel’s ministry. Both Powery and Brodhead also thanked members of the community— including religious life staff and Duke faculty—for helping ready the Chapel for reopening. “There is no ‘I’ in chapel,’” Powery said. Before inviting community members into the Chapel, Powery added that the Chapel reflects Duke’s motto of “Eruditio et Religio”—“knowledge and religion.” See CHAPEL on Page 26

Freshman year featured a number of large-scale campus policy changes and historic athletic feats. After months of student protests, the University eliminated the one-year statute of limitations on student sexual misconduct. The revised policy states that the University disciplinary process can respond to reports filed against a student until that individual 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 for Lefkowitz—for studies of G proteincoupled receptors. The University launched Duke Forward— its second capital campaign and the largest in its history—with a goal of raising $3.25 billion by June 2017. In November, President Barack Obama won a second term with 303 electoral votes, which exceeded the 270 necessary to clinch a victory. The Chronicle, in partnership with the Duke Initiative on Survey Methodology, conducted an IRBapproved 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

Students posted fliers protesting the party, held a rally at the West Campus bus stop and asked that a new task force be created to deal with group bias incidents like the party. Kappa Sigma was suspended by its national organization, and 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 University 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. The Duke Student Government Senate unanimously passed legislation calling for the 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 included up to $50,000 to cover the procedure.

Junior Year: 2014-15 Staff Reports The Chronicle Junior year saw Duke continue to grow and evolve both physically and intellectually, as construction ramped up and controversy provoked thoughtful discussion. The number of cranes blotting the skyline increased as the University witnessed the end of some major projects and the beginning of others. Just as The Edge in Bostock Library opened in January, the entrance to the Bryan Center shut down and Wallace Wade Stadium began renovations, relocating graduation to the Durham Bulls’ Athletic Park.

Duke also announced plans to renovate Marketplace for the first time since 1995, begin a historic expansion of Cameron Indoor Stadium and close the Chapel in May 2015 for a year of renovations. Departing this year along with the Class of 2015 are administrators who have helped shape the students’ Duke experiences. Laurie Patton, dean of Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, announced her decision to become the 17th president of Middlebury College in Vermont. Duke Kunshan University also saw a significant change in leadership—with Nora Bynum, vice provost for DKU, announcing her departure to work at Chicago’s Field Museum in January

and Mary Brown Bullock, executive vice chancellor since 2012, announcing her retirement in February. Duke Forward—the fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $3.25 billion by June 30, 2017—yielded promising results in 2014-15, with the University having received $340.1 million in cash gifts and $348.5 million in new commitments as of April 1. Overall, the University has raised $2.5 billion towards its goal. Students witnessed a growing trend—with Keizra Mecklai’s election as the new DSG president marking Duke’s fourth consecutive female student body president. Many have widely applauded Duke’s efforts in championing female leadership.

Junior year also saw a number of racial and religiously-based controversies— including Duke’s abrupt reversal of its decision to have the weekly Muslim call-to-prayer led from the Chapel bell tower, the tragic murder of three Muslim UNC students in Chapel Hill and the hanging of a noose near the Bryan Center. The Duke community came together following these incidents— with administrators leading speeches, faculty hosting forums and Duke Student Government and the Black Student Alliance collaborating to create the Social Justice Fellowship. Duke research has also been featured prominently in national news, including See JUNIOR on Page 24

Senior Year: 2015-16 Staff Reports The Chronicle Senior year was characterized by the completion of major construction projects, student activism sparking campus-wide discussions and a bowl win for Duke football. Devil’s Krafthouse—the first vendor of the newly-renovated West Union—opened after more than two and a half years of construction, and the entire West Union is expected to be fully operational in July. A renovated Marketplace, Rubenstein Library and Page Auditorium reopened at the beginning of the year. The University also announced that construction of a new East Campus dorm, replacing Aycock, Jarvis and East House, would begin in August. The Chapel was closed for renovations during the 2015-16 academic year, but reopened May 11 after a $19.2 million project to restore the Chapel’s stained glass windows, replace the roof and improve the electrical system. A $25 million gift from David Rubenstein, Trinity ‘70 and chair of the Board of Trustees, will help fund the construction of a new $50-million, 71,000-square foot Arts Center at Duke. Construction continues on the new Student Health and Wellness Center. The main quadrangle was renamed Abele Quadrangle in recognition of Julian Abele, the black architect of Duke’s original campus. The renaming occurred after students presented administrators with demands in two community forums addressing racial issues on campus. The forums followed the defacement of a Black Lives Matter flyer and a death threat and homophobic slur made

against a Duke student. Student protestors staged a week-long sitin of the Allen Building to protest alleged discriminatory conditions in the Parking and Transportation Services department. Additional protestors pitched tents outside the building in support for about a month. Students have also protested the Women’s Center’s impending move to East Campus from its current location near the West Campus bus stop. In addition, non-regular rank, non-tenure track faculty filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board and unionized this year. The union plans to begin negotiations for a collective bargaining agreement with administrators in the Fall. Several incoming freshman refused to read the summer reading book “Fun Home” by Alison Bechdel, saying that some of the graphic images conflicted with their religious beliefs. This year also marks one of the last of President Richard Brodhead’s tenure. Brodhead announced that he will retire at the end of the 2016-17 year after serving 13 years as president. The University has seen significant administrative change in other departments as well. Valerie Ashby—dean of the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences—and Dr. A. Eugene Washington—president and CEO of Duke University Health System—completed their first years in their positions.

for Paul and his laboratory and for all of Duke and shines a spotlight once again on the outstanding science here,” she wrote in an email. Although the applications of Modrich’s work to cancer medicine and many other fields of biomedical research are significant, Lefkowitz noted that Modrich’s win is also a boost for basic science, which is the pursuit of understanding essential scientific processes and phenomena without focusing on immediate applications or treatments for diseases. “It is simply driven by the curiosity of a scientist to understand a basic process,” he said.

The Chronicle Paul Modrich’s Nobel Prize win is a huge victory not only for him and for Duke, but also for all fields of basic research, administrators and colleagues said. Modrich—James B. Duke professor of biochemistry, member of the Duke Cancer Institute and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator—was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Oct. 7, along with Aziz Sancar of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Tomas Lindahl of the Francis Crick Institute in the U.K. The researchers were honored for their discoveries of three different fundamental mechanisms of DNA repair—a critical process in maintaining the integrity of many organisms’ DNA. The research has potential applications in fighting cancer and other diseases. Modrich is the second standing faculty member in Duke’s history to win a Nobel Prize and also the second professor from the department of biochemistry, after Dr. Robert Lefkowitz, James B. Duke professor of medicine and professor of biochemistry and immunology, received the same award in 2012 for his work on G-protein-coupled receptors. “I have to say this acknowledgment is shared by graduate students and others in my lab. I want to thank the biochemistry department at Duke for giving me a scientific home,” Modrich said during a press conference held Wednesday at UNC to honor the Nobel Prize winners. Modrich

called into the conference while away on vacation in New Hampshire. Modrich has been a Duke faculty member since 1976 and has studied the molecular machinery of DNA for most of his career, prompting Richard Brennan, James B. Duke professor of biochemistry and chair of the biochemistry department, to describe him as “a homegrown Duke biochemist.” Modrich’s discovery of the mismatch repair mechanism demonstrated how errors made during DNA replication are corrected and paved the way for further understanding of cancer and many other diseases.

“This is the most exciting kind of honor that any university can get,” said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. “The fact that Professor Modrich was elected for the most prestigious science prize in the world is a great honor for him, but also a great honor and reflected glory to Duke and to all of the faculty and students who have worked with him over the years.” Nancy Andrews, dean of the School of Medicine, noted that Modrich’s work “is of fundamental importance to understanding cancer and other serious diseases.” “This is an extremely proud moment

Second win Robert Lefkowitz said that becoming the first Nobel laureate at Duke was a “remarkable experience that changed [his] life.” As Modrich is the second Duke faculty member to win the award in four years, Lefkowitz expressed his hope that the number of Nobel Laureates coming out of Duke might start to catch up to that of the older top10 universities. “It’s impressive—we’ve never had anybody and now we have two,” he said. Despite the close proximity of two of this year’s Nobel Prize winners and the academic collaboration between Duke and UNC, Dr. Michael Kastan, executive director of the Duke Cancer Institute, noted at the press conference that having two researchers from Duke and UNC in See NOBEL PRIZE on Page 22

VP Biden outlines goals of cancer research initiative Ryan Zhang The Chronicle Vice President Joe Biden joined a panel of experts to discuss barriers to curing cancer Feb. 10. In January, Biden announced a new initiative for cancer research—a “moonshot” that aims to speed up the process of finding cures for cancer. During his Duke visit, Biden engaged in a roundtable conversation with 10 other panelists about a number of issues, placing special focus on the main challenges facing researchers and policymakers today. More than 100 people attended the invitation-only event, including physicians, administrators and scientists. Topics that were touched upon included using big data to enhance research, addressing disparities in patient care and increasing access to clinical trials. “Together, we can find a lot of answers to these questions, and in the process I think we can end up developing game-changing treatments and delivering them to anyone who needs them,” Biden said. “We’re not looking at incremental change. What we’re trying to do is end up with a quantum leap on the path to a cure.” The goal of the initiative is to double the rate of progress, making “a decade’s worth of advancements in the next five years,” Biden said. Nonetheless, the vice president repeatedly mentioned that he was not “naïve” and that developing a cure would be a long and difficult process. “I’m not looking for a silver bullet. There is none,” Biden said. The vice president said he saw big data

as “the greatest hope” for cancer research, adding that genomic information which once required countless hours and dollars to extract could now be accessed easily as a result of improved technology. Dr. Shelley Hwang, chief of breast surgery at the Duke Cancer Institute and professor of surgery, noted the difficulty of analyzing massive amounts of data, much of which is extraneous or unusable. A project that Hwang is part of aims to organize patient data earlier on in the clinical process in order to simplify later data analysis and sharing. One barrier to data sharing is the lack of standardization of data elements in the

medical field, a problem that the National Cancer Institute unsuccessfully attempted to tackle several years ago, Hwang said. “It’s important for us to all have the same language,” she said. “When we’re talking about a broken leg or a fracture, it means the same thing. We need to be able to define it in a way that when we pull the data out, it is recognized as the same thing.” A related issue has been the lack of communication between experts in different disciplines, creating “silos” that prevent researchers from building upon each other’s work. In the past, Hwang noted, surgeons, oncologists and

scientists failed to reliably communicate with one another. “We’re going to make sure the information is being shared so that an oncologist in Fayetteville can access information from a world-class institution like Duke,” Biden said. Part of the solution will be the increased funding for research provided by the federal government, Biden noted. The initiative will include $195 million in new research funding for Fiscal Year 2016 and $755 million for the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration in FY 2017. “We don’t think the federal government is the only answer to this,” Biden said. “This is a question of, how can we be helpful? What can we do to work with the community to make more progress? Where you view the government as a bureaucratic stumbling block, I want to make sure that stumbling block is eliminated.” Another issue that was discussed was that of racial disparities in healthcare access. Gayle Harris, public health director for the Durham County Department of Public Health, pointed out that people of color often receive late diagnoses and are also often reluctant to enroll in clinical trials. “In the African-American community, people still go back to [the] Tuskegee [syphilis experiment]. There is a lack of trust,” she said. During the discussion, Biden posed several questions to the panelists, including one about how to reach larger populations of patients for clinical trials. “We have patients who would willingly See VP BIDEN on Page 24

educations in the service of addressing societal problems continued throughout the day. Brodhead noted that Duke had been interested in building a campus in Kunshan because so many of the University’s research components have Chinese dimensions to them. “How can one study environment without studying China and the rest of the world?” he posed. “How can one study health without studying one of the largest populations in the world?” There is a long history of Chinese and Americans exchanging ideas and learning from each other’s techniques, Jianjun noted. For example, pioneers in Chinese painting traveled overseas to learn western painting techniques, which they then integrated into art schools and their own work. “So today, when we establish the development of DKU, it’s another celebration of the integration of East and West,” he said. “The establishment of DKU is going to create a new school of learning.” In an interview following the speeches, Lange noted that thought DKU could never solve the problems between the United States and China, it could certainly help. He said there is an immense amount one can learn simply through meeting people from a different culture and living in a new environment. “It’s also meant to inspire innovation on Duke’s campus as well,” he said of the Kunshan campus. “Faculty will come back and say they tried something and think, ‘huh, now maybe I’ll try that here.’” China is the fifth most popular destination for American students studying overseas, said Thomas Hodges, minister counselor of the public affairs section of the U.S. embassy. In 2009, President Barack Obama called for 100,000 students to visit China when he visited Shanghai. In his most recent visit to China last week, Obama announced that America had reached that goal. Hodges added that China has had a large contingent of students in the United States for many years, and that this number will grow even more this year. “The opening of DKU is not only an auspicious occasion but also represents a significant step in Chinese-U.S. educational relations,” he said. “Far-thinking individuals from these three institutions have recognized the trend we’ve seen over the years in terms of the growth and mutual interests in two educational systems.” The event celebrated not only what DKU means for the future of American-Chinese educational relations but also the three-way partnership between Duke, Wuhan University and the city of Kunshan that created DKU. Leaders from all three institutions presented a plaque with DKU’s name written in calligraphy in the style of Gu Yanwu, a Kunshan native and Ming dynasty loyalist whose works provided a basis for a 19th century movement to intertwine Western learning with Chinese tradition. One of Kunshan’s main attractions is a memorial honoring Gu Yanwu’s contributions in Tinling Park. Bullock noted that the DKU logo, a series of three triangles that creates a mountain, is meant to represent the strength of the three-way partnership. The triangular shape is meant to represent the “trinity spirit” of the institution. Each school is represented in an individual See DKU OPENING on Page 26

Duke football beats Indiana 44-41 in Pinstripe Bowl Seth Johnson The Chronicle NEW YORK—Yankee Stadium was destined for one more walk-off in 2015. Duke outlasted Indiana 44-41 in a overtime thriller in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl after Hoosier kicker Griffin Oakes’ 37-yard field goal sailed above the upright. The kick was ruled no good, sending the Blue Devils streaming onto the field in celebration of the program’s first bowl victory since the 1961 Cotton Bowl. After the game was left tied at 41 in regulation, Ross Martin booted a 36-yard field goal that gave Duke a three-point edge. The Blue Devil defense struggled to contain Indiana’s high-scoring offense for much of the afternoon, but made the necessary stop on third down to

force Oakes’ field-goal try. Duke’s senior class is now tied for the winningest group of Blue Devils in program history. “We had lost in the fourth quarter three years in a row [in bowl games]. Overtime is a whole new level,” Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said. “We had 23 seniors that were very committed to this process. It wasn’t all perfect tonight, but there was a will—a strong will to prepare, a strong will to continue competing even when we fell behind in the fourth quarter. I think it was critical that we believed we could come out and pull this game out.” After Duke (8-5) failed to convert on a fourth down at the Hoosier 18-yard line late in the fourth quarter, Indiana took the ball down the field—sparked by a 50-yard pass from quarterback Nate Sudfeld to wide receiver Ricky Jones—that resulted in a 25-yard touchdown pass from Sudfeld to wide receiver Mitchell

Paige. The score put the Blue Devils on the ropes, trailing 41-34. On the following drive, quarterback Thomas Sirk took the Blue Devil offense down the field and punched in the tying score with less than a minute remaining in regulation on a delayed, five-yard run up the gut. The Hoosiers had a final chance with a 56-yard field goal attempt as time expired, but Oakes’ kick sailed wide right, setting up overtime. It was not the prettiest of games for Sirk—the redshirt junior finished 17-of-37 for 163 yards, threw two interceptions and suffered a knee injury on Duke’s overtime possession—but he delivered with his legs when his team needed a score. “I was trying to remain positive and that’s just the way football is,” Sirk said. “And to finish with that drive, that’s what it’s about—finishing the game. I’m just so proud we could finish…. Everyone was confident [that we were going to score] and we knew what we had to accomplish and that was the one thing on our mind.” After Duke held the Hoosiers to punts, interceptions or turnovers on down on their first five possessions, the game began to look a lot like the last three Duke bowl games—a shootout. A Paige fumble on a Will Monday punt gave Duke momentum midway through the third quarter, but the game continued to go back and forth. After Blue Devil tight end David Reeves recovered the loose ball at the 19-yard line, tight end Braxton Deaver reached paydirt just three plays later on a 10-yard jump pass from Sirk, giving Duke a 27-24 lead. But the Blue Devil momentum did not last after a stalled drive and punt led to a six play, 65-yard Hoosier drive that ended in a 10-yard rushing touchdown for Alex Rodriguez—an appropriate Hoosier hero in Yankee Stadium—to give Indiana (6-7) the lead, 31-27. Sirk’s second interception of the game—snatched out of the air by defensive tackled Darius Latham at the Indiana 32-yard line—gave the Hoosiers the ball back late in the third quarter, and Indiana took a seven-point lead on a 27-yard field goal by Oakes. But on the ensuing See PINSTRIPE BOWL on Page 26

education company 2U’s Semester Online consortium, a three-year pilot program. 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 athletic triumphs continued as Duke football became bowl eligible for the first time since 1994 with a last-second victory against North Carolina. The Blue Devils squared off against Cincinnati in the Belk Bowl at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, but crucial fourth-quarter turnovers proved costly. Despite the 48-34 loss, Duke made major strides that paved the way for bowl appearances in the next two seasons. Head coach David Cutcliffe was named ACC Coach of the Year for his efforts in turning the program around. Duke men’s and women’s basketball teams had successful seasons, with both teams beating North Carolina at home and on the road and advancing to the Elite Eight. On the women’s side, the Blue Devils won the ACC tournament title, beating the Tar Heels 92-73 to capture its eighth ACC tournament title in program history and third in four seasons.

Vice President Joe Biden met with Modrich and other Duke cancer researchers when he visited campus in February as part of his cancer moonshot initiative, which aims to accelerate the search towards a cure for cancer. Biden also held a roundtable discussion with scientists and physicians to discuss cancer research efforts. The University launched the Washington Duke Scholars program to provide first-generation students with enhanced financial aid packages and other resources. The incoming Class of 2020 will include the first Washington Duke Scholars. In its second year, Duke Kunshan University began planning for long-term development—including the expansion of the undergraduate program—and saw the

completion of five campus buildings, with work underway on a sixth. The football team ended the season on a high note under leadership from the senior class, despite ups and downs during ACC play. On Halloween night after seemingly securing a come-from-behind victory against Miami, the Blue Devils could not stop the Hurricanes’ controversial eight-lateral punt return, resulting in a 3027 loss. However, the team was able to overturn its threeyear streak of bowl game losses and 54-year drought by defeating Indiana the New Era Pinstripe Bowl with a 44-41 overtime win in Yankee Stadium. The basketball team returned from a National Championship win with newly-minted star Grayson Allen and a top-ranked recruiting class featuring Brandon Ingram. Despite high hopes, the Blue Devils lost captain Amile Jefferson for much of the season to a foot injury and fell out of the AP Top 25 poll for the first time since 2007. The team made a run in the NCAA tournament before being downed by Oregon in the Sweet 16.

NOBEL PRIZE from page 16 the same field win the same award is a coincidence. Modrich’s and Sancar’s work with different DNA repair mechanisms was independent, though Sancar, Sarah Graham Kenan professor of biochemistry and biophysics at UNC, said at the press conference that they have published three papers together and are friends. Sancar also noted that he has nominated Modrich for the Nobel Prize in each of the past 10 years. “Even though we all hate Duke, I was expecting Paul [Modrich] to get it,” Sancar joked. Schoenfeld said the awards reflect not only the strength of research at Duke, but the strength of research in the Triangle area. “It’s a very exciting day for Duke, and it’s equally exciting because one of the other recipients is a professor at UNC,” Schoenfeld said. The importance of basic science Modrich has been an investigator at the Howard

Hughes Medical Institute—a nonprofit organization with an endowment of $19 billion dedicated to funding scientists—since 1994. HHMI Senior Scientific Officer Bodo Stern explained that the mission of the HHMI is to provide long-term support to scientists, rather than focus on specific projects. “We supported his work in studying the basics of mismatch repair, and nobody could’ve guessed that it would have had anything to do with cancer, but it laid the foundation to find later that these proteins are important in colon cancer,” he said. Kastan described the implications of Modrich’s work in colon cancer at the press conference Wednesday. Given the essential role mismatch repair plays in correcting DNA errors, defects in this mechanism are the cause of the most common form of hereditary colon cancer and may also lead to certain neurodegenerative diseases and other cancers. The other researchers who received the prize discovered related mechanisms for DNA repair. Lindahl’s research provided the initial insight that DNA requires more complex repair mechanisms than

were previously known. He also discovered a type of repair mechanism known as base excision—in which pieces of DNA are removed during the repair process. Sancar’s research focused on DNA repair in response to ultraviolet radiation damage. Stern added that Modrich is the type of scientist the HHMI wants to support, given his decades of work delving into a specific biological problem and the impact of his discovery. Modrich’s success also exemplifies the importance of basic science, or discovery science, in a scientific community that increasingly focuses on research that can have near-term applications, Stern said. “It’s definitely a notion that’s a little bit in retreat, but we are really emphasizing to others that support for basic science is really the foundation for any translational science,” Stern said. “Mainly because we don’t really know where the breakthroughs will happen or where new therapies will come from, so it really is important to fund basic science broadly.” Brennan emphasized that all three Nobel Prize wins demonstrate the enormous impact that discovery science can have on later outcomes and human health. “That should be a major wake-up call to the rest of the research community in the U.S.—the fact that they won the Nobel Prize working on basic science,” he said. “I hope the NIH and our senators from North Carolina understand how important it is to fund basic research, because you never know what’s going to come out of it.” In addition to potentially influencing colleagues and politicians, Modrich’s win will serve to highlight the importance of basic science to young scientists and companies looking to invest in research, Brennan explained. He hopes adding another Nobel laureate to Duke’s faculty will attract more scientists to the University. “It was the reason why we came here to Duke,” he said. “We saw these great people and now it’s even better.”

BRAVO! 2016 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 278 prestigious chapters across the United States. The Society’s distinctive emblem, a gold key with the letters Phi Beta Kappa as the Greek initials of the motto of the society, “Love of learning is the guide of life,” is widely recognized as a symbol of academic achievement. The Duke Chapter, Beta of North Carolina, was formed in 1920 at Trinity College.

of neurosurgery; and Stephanie Wheeler, associate professor at the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Prior to the roundtable discussion, Biden visited the lab of Paul Modrich, James B. Duke professor of biochemistry and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator, accompanied by Dr. A. Eugene Washington, chancellor for health affairs and CEO of Duke University Health System. Before briefly chatting with Modrich and congratulating him on his recent Nobel Prize victory, Biden also met with Sampson and Dr. Matthias Gromeier, associate professor of neurosurgery. During his visit, Biden talked to Stephanie Lipscomb, who had a brain tumor that was successfully treated by a novel poliovirus therapy at Duke Hospital. The novel treatment—which uses a safe, modified form of polio to alert the immune system to the presence of cancer cells—was developed by Gromeier. Based on Gromeier’s work, Duke researchers are currently in the process of testing the treatment on other forms of cancer, including prostate cancer. The moonshot initiative emphasizes development in immunotherapy approaches like Duke’s, in addition to other cutting-edge research in combination therapies and genetic screening for early detection. “The science is ready,” Biden said. “Much more has to be done, but I believe we can make much faster progress…if we see greater collaboration, greater sharing of information.”

and gladly participate in trials. They want to be part of this moonshot,” said Dr. Kimberly Blackwell, professor of medicine, assistant professor of radiation oncology and a renowned breast cancer researcher. “They are in line, they are ready to break down those barriers, they are ready to participate in the clinical trials.” Blackwell noted, however, that lack of collaboration between pharmaceutical companies creates silos that lead to wasted resources. One panelist, Niklaus Steiner—director of the Center for Global Initiatives at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill—shared the story of his daughter Sophie, who passed away at age 15 due to cancer. Steiner and his wife have since founded the Be Loud! Sophie Foundation to support adolescent and young adult cancer patients, an age group that he noted is sometimes overlooked by health care systems. Steiner’s story prompted Biden to reflect on tragedy in his own life, including the death of his son Beau, who died of brain cancer at age 46 last May. “We all have had our experiences with death and tragedy,” Biden said. “When you’ve been through it, you have a different perspective.” The other speakers at the roundtable were Dr. James Atkins, a medical oncologist; Susan Braun, chief executive officer of The V Foundation for Cancer Research; Dr. Howard Eisenson, chief medical officer of the Lincoln Community Health Center; Brenda Nevidjon, chief executive officer of Oncology Nursing Editor’s note: This article originally ran in the Society; Dr. John Sampson, Duke’s chair Feb. 11, 2015 issue of The Chronicle.

JUNIOR from page 8 the pioneering work around the use of the polio virus to treat cancer patients—which gained national attention when it was featured on CBS’ “60 Minutes.” The University moved one step closer to putting the Anil Potti scandal behind it—settling a lawsuit involving the families of eight cancer patients who Potti treated based on falsified research. On the court, Duke men’s basketball overcame a season filled with ups and downs to capture its fifth national title with a thrilling 68-63 victory against Wisconsin. Head coach Mike Krzyzewski also surpassed yet another milestone in January, becoming the first head coach in Division I men’s

basketball history to reach 1,000 career wins with a comeback victory against St. John’s at Madison Square Garden. Freshmen Jahlil Okafor, Tyus Jones and Justise Winslow led the way and have all since joined NBA teams. Although Duke football ended its 2014 campaign with a loss to Arizona State in the Sun Bowl in the final minutes, the program continued to make strides under the direction of head coach David Cutcliffe, posting consecutive winning seasons for the first time since 1989. Nine football players were signed by teams in the NFL, most notably offensive guard Laken Tomlinson, who was drafted by the Detroit Lions as the 28th overall pick, and wide receiver Jamison Crowder, who was selected 105th by the Washington Redskins.

DKU OPENING from page 18 triangle—in Duke blue, Kunshan jade and Wuhan green. “The mountain peak with its gradually deepening color represents continuing progress,” Bullock said, with tears in her eyes. “Some see a bamboo shoot coming out of the ground representing a new beginning.” DKU scholarship donors and campus builders were given plaques to honor their contributions to creating the university. Provost Sally Kornbluth also helped unveil a plaque demonstrating the partnership between Wuhan University and Duke to create DKU. Kennedy Opondo, a student from Kenya who is pursuing a master’s of science in global health, gave a speech thanking the donors for giving him the opportunity to study at DKU. “The scholarship has gone a long way to lighten a financial burden and allowed us to concentrate on our studies,” he said. “The value of my scholarship goes beyond financing my university education. I see it as a torch of light in my life.” Editor’s note: This article originally ran in the Nov. 18, 2014 issue of The Chronicle.

PINSTRIPE BOWL from page 20

touchdown no matter how far it is, I was just glad I was able to get into the end zone because it was a big momentum swing for the team. Everybody believed in me. They told me to put the team up.” The Blue Devils broke out to an early 10-0 lead after Martin connected on a 52yard field goal and Wilson broke loose on an 85-yard run for a touchdown— both Pinstripe Bowl records. But the Hoosiers would not be deterred, as two touchdowns in the second half of the second quarter—a Sudfeld pass to wide receiver Luke Timian for 27 yards and a Devine Redding 17-yard run—kept the game close. Explosive plays and bend-but-don’t-break defense kept Duke within striking distance in the first half. Sirk scampered up the middle for a 73-yard touchdown that made the score 17-14 with only a minute remaining in the half, and two fourth-down stops and two picks of typically mistake-free Sudfeld—one by linebacker Dwayne Norman and one by safety Philip Carter—provided the Blue Devils an early spark. Duke will lose several key players from this year’s squad—most notably injured safety Jeremy Cash, wide receiver Max McCaffrey, running back Shaquille Powell, center Matt Skura, Martin and Monday— but the groundwork has finally been laid for Blue Devil postseason success. “There have been long, terrible streaks that the senior class has broken, but [the 54-year bowl drought coming to an end is] just one more to chalk up and it’s an incredible one to end on,” Martin said. “Now they’ll talk about the 2015 team breaking that streak and now moving forward, I can’t wait to see what this team does next year, too.”

CHAPEL from page 5 “We invite you to touch the past, experience the present and anticipate the future while joining us on this wonderful mission of hope,” he said. Powery noted that he expects many people to begin utilizing the Chapel again. “The space means so much to many people in different ways,” he said. “Being out of the Chapel, we didn’t have that meaning, we didn’t have that history, so being back in that space, we will draw those who have been coming before and hopefully many others. ” Students said that they are also excited

that the Chapel’s renovations are finished. “It’s the center of the campus,” said Matthew Panhans, a Ph.D. student in economics. “Being able to go inside and access it again is an important part of campus.” Organ demonstrations and guided tours occured throughout the day. North Carolina Public Radio’s Frank Stasio hosted an evening episode of “The State of Things,” a live radio show, in the Chapel between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. The day of celebration concluded at 10:00 p.m. with Powery and Christy Lohr Sapp, associate dean for religious life, hosting a prayer for “peace in our time.”

kickoff, running back Shaun Wilson broke off a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, bursting across the goal line like a sprinter and knotting the score at 34. “When my name was called, I just tried Carolyn Chang | The Chronicle to make a play that I can make to help my Editor’s note: This article was originally The Chapel’s reopening celebration included an organ demonstration and guided tours team win,” Wilson said. “A touchdown is a published in The Chronicle Dec. 26, 2015. throughout the day.
