From flower crowns and Chapel climbs to a cappella and dance performances on Bryan Center Plaza, here are some of the scenes across campus from LDOC.
There are no heroes in smoke-filled rooms. There are only silhouettes: blurred, shifting, shaped by whispers and the promise of power. In “Daredevil: Born Again,” Disney's revival of the Netflix series, Matt Murdock’s return is less a triumphant homecoming and more a descent into a darkness that requires not masks or fists, but rather silence, consent of the governed (or lack thereof) and crisis.
In the first round of the ACC Tournament, fourth-seeded and No. 9 Duke suffered a 15-7 loss to the fifth-seeded and 16th-ranked Tigers. While the Blue Devils attempted to recover from behind for most of the contest, a late 5-0 run by Clemson solidified the Tigers’ victory.
With my height now sharpied on the door frame of the editor’s office and a note scribbled on the wall for the future editors to come, I — with bags under my eyes — look back on the past year proud of all we have accomplished and ready to pass on this paper to the next 120 lucky editors-in-chief to come.
Journalism isn’t fulfilling its purpose when our audience doesn’t trust us; why bother writing if no one’s going to read it? It’s clear the industry needs to change.
As I’m getting ready to graduate, I’m thinking about art and why we talk about it.
This job has taken me to many places. Literally — from Durham to Clemson to New York and beyond — but more than that, it’s taken me into moments of raw, fleeting emotion that I never would’ve witnessed otherwise.
What I am most proud of this volume is how many brilliant minds contributed to our coverage. It is fully a team effort.
This year, every time I walked into 301 Flowers and inevitably found our reporters, columnists and photographers chiseling away at their Pacemaker-award winning masterpieces, the norm did not apply. Every day challenged me and each person inspired me. The Chronicle made Duke exactly what I had hoped for.
At the ripe age of 26, however, I realize there’s a lot I haven’t learned since getting to Duke’s campus in 2016.
When I arrived at Duke, I knew I would get involved in sports. I could never have predicted the opportunities and community that this paper would give me.
I came to Duke knowing almost nothing about myself, and left with a community I value and a clear sense of purpose. That’s no accident. But it only happened because I made myself embrace the unknown.
By allowing myself to use only my eyes, to quiet my brain, and to observe, I discovered the corners of Duke that often go undiscovered.
The Chronicle made me feel seen in so many different ways. Every compliment I got about my ideas, every time I was shouted out in our weekly sports meetings — I always felt listened to. Nothing else I did or experienced at Duke was as unconditionally supportive as the halls of 301 Flowers.
I know now that belonging to a group is not just about sharing a common skill, ability or interest. Learning new photography techniques did not help me feel like I belonged to The Chronicle’s photo department. Creating deep relationships with those in it did.
Durham City Council approved multiple annexations and an amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance during its Monday meeting.
A perfect movie goodbye, with a perfect movie ending, is just that — fiction. More importantly, though, a right goodbye is counterproductive to the point of a goodbye.
