Melinda Gates, an entrepreneur, philan-thropist and wife of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, will return to her alma mater to address the Class of 2013 Sunday.

Gates, Trinity ’86 and Fuqua ’87, is co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Founda-tion and helped developed many of Micro-soft’s multimedia products. She also served on Duke’s Board of Trustees from 1996 to 2003.

“I came to speak at Duke because I love Duke,” Gates wrote in an email Thursday. “My experience here was amazing, and the school has only gotten better since then....This weekend is another special opportu-nity for me to keep building my relationship with Duke and I am deeply honored to be addressing the graduating class.”

Named one of Time Magazine’s Persons of the Year, along with her husband Bill and U2 vocalist Bono, in 2005 and one of the top 100 Foreign Policy Magazine’s “Global Thinkers,” Gates retired from her position at Microsoft in 1996 to devote more time to her family and philanthropy. She co-founded the Gates foundation in January 2000 with her husband. Since its inception, the organization has contributed more than $26 billion to support grants from more than 100 countries.

Gates noted that the theme of her com-mencement speech is connection, and will explore how technology allows people to forge life-changing relationships.

“Given how today’s college graduates are considered so technologically connected, I want to explore some of the other possible

meanings of connection—deep human con-nections with people—and consider how forging these connections can change the lives of the graduates and the lives of oth-ers,” she said.

She added that her message is relevant to Duke students in particular because they possess qualities that will allow them to have a big impact on the future.

“Duke students are talented and moti-vated to succeed, and I know they will make a big impact on the future,” she said. “I want to point some of that talent toward fixing the big inequities that hamper progress in many poor countries.”

President Richard Brodhead invited Gates to speak at commencement several years ago, and she agreed to speak earlier this year. For that reason, there was not a for-mal committee established to recommend a commencement speaker to Brodhead.

“I can’t think of a more inspiring way to send our students forth to their careers than to have Melinda Gates speak at our commencement,” Brodhead said in a press release Nov. 27. “A double Duke graduate, she gives us a shining example of the differ-ence a compassionate advocate can make in the world.”

The Gates Foundation, the world’s larg-est private organization with an endowment of $36.2 billion, has played a major role in the development and success of various University endeavors. A Gates’ gift created the University Scholars Program in 1998. In 2007, in conjunction with the Charlotte-based Duke Endowment, it established a

Andrew BarnhillStudent speaker

by Emma BaccellieriTHE CHRONICLE

Graduate student Andrew Barnhill will explore the intersection of sacred moments and ambitions in his com-mencement address Sunday.

Barnhill, who will graduate from the Divinity School with a Masters de-gree Sunday, will be one of fewer than 10 graduate and professional school students to deliver the commencement address in the past four decades. Gradu-ating students are annually given the opportunity to submit speeches to a se-lection committee, but they are chosen infrequently. Barnhill will aim to reach out to an audience of students hailing from different areas of study, faculty and family during Sunday’s ceremony at Wal-lace Wade Stadium.

“The speaker is there to press pause for a moment on the Duke experience and let our memories sink in,” Barnhill wrote in an email Thursday. “I hope to use the speech as an opportunity to think broadly and constructively about Duke and its mission for the education of a new generation.”

In addition to being a graduate stu-dent in the Divinity School, Barnhill is also a student in the School of Law and will finish his law degree next year. In Barnhill’s time at Duke, he has engaged himself in many aspects of the Univer-sity as a student in two schools and an involved member of the community. His favorite Duke experiences include help-ing to plan Blue Devil Days and creating a sense of community on Central Cam-

pus in his role as a graduate resident. Both positions allowed him the chance to envision something new for the Duke community, he said.

Barnhill also served as a graduate assistant in the Office of Undergradu-ate Admissions and an instructor of a house course on religion and American politics.

His speech will attempt to reconcile two forces that often oppose each oth-er—ambition and vocation.

“At Duke, we often focus on the next step, the things we can do to achieve cultural success,” Barnhill said. “But Duke is also a place that encourages vocational discernment, the process of coming to know who you truly are and what you should be doing for the world.”

A native of Wilmington N.C., Barn-hill earned his undergraduate degree at Furman University. He has always been attracted to Duke because of the Uni-versity’s commitment to its roots and its resulting individuality, he said.

“The fact that Duke has a student speaker, unlike many of our peers, is a testament to Duke’s culture—that we are a place where student ideas and in-sight are valued,” Barnhill said.

Barnhill was chosen by a selection committee composed of students, fac-ulty and administrators. The committee looks for a speaker who can resonate with everyone in the audience, said se-lection committee head Sterly Wilder, TORI POWERS /THE CHRONICLE

Andrew Barnhill, who will graduate Sunday with a Master degree from the Divinity school, will be this year’s student speaker at commencement. He will discuss the intersections of religion and ambition. SEE BARNHILL ON PAGE 22

Freshman year ‘09 - ‘10by Staff Reports

THE CHRONICLE

Freshman year offered a mix of highs and lows. While the University grappled with the economic downturn by implementing budget cuts, it also racked up two NCAA championships.

In Spring 2009, the Board of Trustees approved a “flat” budget of $1.8 billion for the 2008-2009 fiscal year in an effort to eliminate the University’s $125 million budget deficit in three years. In an October report, the University exposed a 29.1 percent decrease in net as-sets, from $8.6 billion to $6.1 billion, attributed largely to decreasing investments. Due to market turmoil, do-nations to the University decreased 22 percent.

The Duke Administrative Reform Team instituted a vacancy management program and reduced overtime hours to lower administrative and operational costs. The University also saved an estimated $10 to $20 mil-lion in salaries when a large portion of employees ac-cepted retirement incentive packages. In December, the University also announced 10 percent budget cuts for every department in the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences. In total, the cuts resulted in approximately $60 million in savings.

The H1N1 influenza virus—informally known as swine flu—spread across the country in 2009. At least 50 cases of infected students were confirmed, and health administrators suspected as many as 120 students had contracted the virus.

In October, the University announced that it would fund the DukeEngage program after some expressed worry that the nearly $30 million donation from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Charlotte-based Duke Endowment would no longer be sufficient due to hard economic times. Rather than minimize or end the program, Duke took the financial burden on its shoulders.

In November, the University revealed a Climate

Action Plan that intended to reduce Duke’s carbon emissions by 45 percent by 2024. The most expensive plan within this goal was the renovation of the East Campus Steam Plant, which was projected to reduce emissions by 85 percent and cost between $20 and $25 million.

The preliminary steps of Duke Kunshan University were also put into motion. The first phase would be a partnership between the Fuqua School of Business, the government of Kunshan and a local university. Kun-shan agreed to provide 200 acres of land for research, education and housing.

In October, Duke also announced plans for Keo-hane 4E, commonly referred to as K4, the newest addi-tion to Keohane Quadrangle. K4 served as the first step in overhauling the housing system. Construction began in February 2010, and the building opened to residents Spring 2012.

Three Duke football players were charged with us-ing a weapon on Duke property in January 2010. Fresh-men John Drew, Kyle Griswould and Brandon Putnam were dismissed from the team and sentenced to a year of supervised probation, 140 hours of community ser-vice and $500 fines each.

Crystal Mangum—notorious for falsely accusing three Duke varsity lacrosse players of rape—was arrest-ed and charged with first-degree murder, five counts of arson, assault and battery, identity theft, communi-cating threats, injury to personal property, resisting a public officer and three counts of misdemeanor child abuse.

After nearly a decade without an NCAA title in men’s basketball, the team won Duke a fourth national cham-pionship against the Butler Bulldogs. Thousands came to watch the game in Cameron Indoor Stadium while others watched it live in Indianapolis as Duke won by two points. The team also garnered two victories over North Carolina, as well as an ACC championship.

Congratulations to the Class of 2013from the Duke University Libraries

Sophomore year ‘10 - ‘11

by Staff ReportsTHE CHRONICLE

The Class of 2013’s sophomore year was characterized by periods of positive global attention on the University mired by epi-sodes of tragedy and negative scrutiny.

In October, Duke’s social and sexual culture came back into question nearly five years after the infamous lacrosse case. Kar-en Owen, Trinity ’10, created a PowerPoint detailing her sexual experiences with 13 current and former Duke varsity athletes. Owen said the PowerPoint was meant to be shared only with friends, but the presenta-tion went viral and caught the attention of national media outlets such as NBC’s To-day Show and The New York Times.

Owen’s PowerPoint led to a more gener-al discussion on campus concerning gender issues and the subjugation of women. Over Halloween weekend, someone plastered flyers across West Campus that featured crude and degrading party invitations sent to women by various fraternities via email. Although some students acknowledged that the emails were meant to be humor-ous, other students were stunned by the sexist language used in the invitations.

The end of October was marked with the tragic death of senior Drew Everson. Everson suffered two collapsed lungs and a severe head injury after falling down a set of stairs behind the East Campus Union. The South Carolina native, who served as

a line monitor and as a member of Duke Debate and Inside Joke comedy troupe, among other activities, was celebrated for his incredible wit, sense of humor and curi-osity about the world around him.

Disaster continued to define the Fall semester when a minor was found uncon-scious in a Porta Potty following the Nov. 6 Tailgate. The incident led the University to cancel Tailgate in its current form, which led to anger and disappointment from some of the student body.

Just one full year after Duke began to consider its expansion into China, the Board of Trustees approved preliminary funding in December for the construction of the first phase of Duke’s campus in Kun-shan, China. An initial investment of $5.5 million was needed for design, consulting and construction oversight. Administra-tors estimated in March that between $5.4 million and $15.6 million each year for six years will be preliminary funding to cover the campus’s operating costs.

Despite initial excitement concerning the proposed campus, some faculty mem-bers expressed concern in March and April regarding the details of the project’s fund-ing, its impact on the Duke brand and the degree of local support in China for the proposed university. Some administrators stressed the benefit of establishing a global CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO

BRAVO!2013 Phi Beta Kappa Initiates

Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s oldest and largest academic honor society, was founded on December 5, 1776 by five students at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. Since then, it has evolved to become the nation’s leading advocate for arts and sciences at the undergraduate level. Phi Beta Kappa elects over 15,000 new members a year from 276 prestigious chapters across the United States. The Society’s distinctive emblem, a gold key with the 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. We are delighted to receive into membership the following:

Junior year ‘11 - ‘12

by Staff ReportsTHE CHRONICLE

Junior year was characterized by flux in policy on and off campus.

Under the house model set to begin Aug. 2012, administra-tors granted residential space on Central Campus for all nine Panhellenic sororities, marking the first time Duke has granted houses for individual chapters. In April, following months of discussion, University administrators also officially committed to a West Campus gender-neutral housing option for the Fall 2013. This new housing option follows the adoption of gender-neutral housing on select Central Campus areas this past Fall.

In September, senior Matthew Grape passed away in a car accident near the intersection of Academy Road and Duke University Road. Grape was remembered for his unwavering loyalty to his family and friends.

In January, an unpublished study suggested that affirma-tive action masks an academic achievement gap between racial groups, drawing protests from minority students. Shortly after, the Black Student Alliance called on administrators to fully address the concerns of the black community—including the relocation of the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture.

In its continuing drive toward research, the University ex-panded its medical care offerings by opening the Duke Cancer Center in February. The $230-million facility will emphasize multidisciplinary communication and increased support ser-vices through a space that can accommodate roughly twice as many patients.

In the months leading to the May 8 primary, Duke, often labeled as politically apathetic, became a major source of oppo-sition to Amendment One, which aimed to define marriage as between one man and one woman in the North Carolina con-stitution. The University reiterated its support for the LGBT community, and Duke Together Against Constitutional Dis-crimination hosted rallies on campus. Seventeen days of early voting in the West Union Building drew thousands of ballots.

Despite widespread opposition to the amendment at Duke and other areas, North Carolinians voted overwhelmingly in favor of the measure, making North Carolina the 31st state to ban gay marriage in a constitutional amendment.

The University increased its global presence. For Duke Kunshan University, administrators approved a Master of Man-agement Studies degree program offered by the Fuqua School of Business. Nonetheless, both construction and pending Chi-nese Ministry of Education approval have delayed the opening of DKU to Fall 2013. Administrators and faculty also approved a new MMS degree program to be offered in the United Arab Emirates, similar to an existing Durham-based program.

Despite a buzzer beater win against North Carolina in Feb-ruary, the men’s basketball team lost to the Tar Heels in their effort to claim the ACC regular season title and was eliminated by Florida State in the ACC tournament. Duke, a No.2 seed in the NCAA tournament, was upset by No.15 Lehigh in the first round.

Despite a lackluster season, men’s coach Mike Krzyzewski passed his mentor Bob Knight to become the winningest coach in NCAA men’s basketball, reaching 903 career wins after de-feating Michigan State at Madison Square Garden.

Women’s basketball lost their title as reigning ACC champi-ons after an upset by N.C. State. The team then lost to Stanford in the Elite Eight round of the NCAA tournament.

Senior year ‘12 - ‘13by Staff Reports

THE CHRONICLE

Senior year concludes 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 Mc-Crory—won silver and bronze medals in the 2012 Lon-don Olympics, respectively. Johnston received a silver medal in synchronized 3-meter springboard diving and McCrory took home the bronze in synchronized 10-me-ter 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 elim-inated the one-year statute of limitations on student 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 immu-nology, became the first standing faculty member to receive a Nobel Prize in October. The Royal Swedish Academy of Science awarded the Nobel Prize in chem-istry to Lefkowitz and his colleague, Dr. Brian Kobil-ka—a former postdoctoral fellow at Duke who worked under Lefkowitz—for “studies of G protein-coupled receptors.”

In November, President Barack Obama won a sec-ond term with 303 electoral votes, which exceeded the 270 needed to clinch victory in the 2012 presiden-tial 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 stu-dents 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 Cin-cinnati 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 48-34, 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 vis-its 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 Uni-versity 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 tourna-ment 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 stereo-types. 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 ser-vice by the members of Kappa Sigma. As a result of the party’s backlash, the Kappa Sigma fraternity was sus-

by Imani MoiseTHE CHRONICLE

Duke had a watershed year in 1963.That year, the University ushered in a new president,

Douglas Knight, as well as its first five black undergradu-ate students. Fifty years later, three of these five returned to Duke to reflect on a half century of racial progress.

Gene Kendall, Engineering ’67, Wilhemina Reuben-Cooke, Woman’s College ’67, and Nathaniel White, Trinity ’67, were among the first class of black under-graduates. They reunited earlier in the semester at For-lines House to discuss their Duke experiences. As they recalled it, their integration at Duke went surprisingly smoothly.

“There were no outward expressions of difficulty [with our presence],” White said.

Despite the common assumption that the students would have faced strong adversity , given the racial ten-sions in the 1960s South, the Duke community seemed very prepared for integration, White said. He thought it seemed as if administrators had had a conversation with all Duke community members in anticipation of the stu-dents’ arrival.

Professors were among their closest allies on campus, Reuben-Cooke said, noting that faculty members were so supportive that it was difficult to think of one specific act of kindness.

“People were aware of what we were going through,” Kendall said, recalling a gym attendant who pulled him aside to tell him about the assassination of John F. Ken-nedy. “He told me as if he knew it would touch me—and he was right.”

The three alumni, who said they are still friends to this day, agreed that their time at Duke changed their lives for the better. Although they all came to Duke from high-achieving but segregated high schools with high academic standards, Kendall recalled that members of the Duke community worked hard to provide him with fundamentals that prepared him for success in his later endeavours.

“You can do anything you want to do if you are will-

ing to put forth the effort and try,” he said. “What the Duke experience did for me, was that it demonstrated to me that I had the wherewithal to get through any situation.”

Kendall transferred to the University of Kansas after his sophomore year and graduated with honors.

The alumni panel also emphasized that it was not only students who gained from integration.

“When we first came [to Duke] it was assumed that we were the ones that were going to benefit from be-ing in this environment. But it is very much a two way street,” White noted. “It wasn’t just a lesson to us—it was a lesson to the institution.”

White went on to explain that by maximizing the par-ticipation and abilities of a diverse Duke community, the University can benefit as a whole. To deny higher educa-tion to a select demographic is to limit the achievement of the society as a whole, he noted.

“It would seem to me very difficult to produce gradu-ates who are effective on the world stage without having the world stage here,” White added.

Although they left a mark on Duke’s history, the three alumni downplayed their actions in deciding to enroll here.

“It’s not that we were special,” Reuben-Cooke said. “It [was] the time.”

Reuben-Cooke, an emerita member of the Board of Trustees and recipient of Duke’s Distinguished Alumni Award, expressed great satisfaction with the University in its current state as it pertains to diversity.

Although the Duke and the Durham community have had a history of racial discrimination, she urged students to view this history as a call to service, not something to bring shame.

“Yes, we have racial issues, you can’t deny it here in North Carolina. And there’s an attentiveness to that,” Reuben-Cooke said. “Duke has a unique opportunity to make a difference because of its past. Our past is an in-centive and an opportunity to make a difference.”

Trinity ’83 and associate vice president for alumni affairs.

“It was almost hard to tell from his speech which school he was graduating from,” said selection committee head Sterly Wilder, Trinity ’83 and associate vice president for alumni affairs, in a previous interview. “It really appeals to the whole audience.”

Sunday’s event will serve as Duke’s 161st commencement ceremony for all eleven of Duke’s undergraduate, gradu-ate and professional schools. The main commencement address will be deliv-ered by philanthropist Melinda Gates,

Trinity ‘86 and Fuqua ‘87.The importance of speaking across

boundaries was also stressed by Roshan Sadanani, Pratt ’12 and last year’s stu-dent commencement speaker.

“The job is to be a unifier,” Sadanani said. “There’s one person to represent the entire student body—not just under-graduates, not medical students, all of Duke’s graduating class.”

Sadanani described the honor of stu-dent commencement speaker as both unique and a bit overwhelming, and of-fered Barnhill advice for when he takes the podium Sunday.

Thank you Volume 108 staff for a terrific Chronicle year, and have a wonderful summer.

presence through the China campus.March ended in disappointment for Cameron Crazies,

as the men’s basketball team failed to maintain its status as national champions. The Blue Devils lost in the Sweet 16 round of the tournament to the University of Arizona after a strong Wildcat squad trounced Duke and ended the collegiate careers of Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith. Duke prevailed, though, when the women’s team secured its second straight ACC Championship with a win over North Carolina.

The end of the Spring semester was defined by the death of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, eliciting cel-ebrations on campus. A successful operation led by a small assault team of American forces found and killed the ter-rorist in Pakistan. President Barack Obama said “justice has been done,” nearly 10 years since the Sept. 11 attacks killed approximately 3,000 Americans.

pended 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, admin-istrators signed a new contract with Duke’s health insur-ance 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 tal-ly 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.

$30 million gift to launch DukeEngage, which has become one of the University’s most popular programs. The pro-gram provides opportunities for undergraduate students to volunteer in individual and group projects in the United States and other countries.

Senior Class President Elysia Pan said Gates is a good fit for the Class of 2013 as the graduating class has been par-ticularly active and passionate about DukeEngage.

“She is one of the quintessential Duke alums we look up to,” Pan said. “We’re so excited to hear more about her life after Duke. It will be a really electrifying moment.”

The foundation has also supported Duke’s burgeoning focus on science and research, donating $35 million in 2002 for the construction of the French Family Science Center.

In the Gates family’s namesake, the 280,000-sq. ft. build-ing is home to research laboratories for chemistry and biol-ogy.

The foundation has also contributed $10 million toward financial aid for undergraduates and business school stu-dents.

Some students noted that the University’s selection is a step forward for women on campus.

“As a female at Duke, it’s encouraging to have a woman commencement speaker, and it shows that we are going in the right direction,” Senior Libby Hase said. “It makes sense she was selected given that she is so connected to Duke and cares so much about this community.”

Sophomore Ariana Qayumi noted that, given the recent photo campaign by the Women’s Housing Option about the female body image, Gates will be an important voice for women on campus.

“I could see, though, how some people might see [Gates] as a cop out because of her connection to DukeEngage and the French Family Science Center,” sophomore Ray Liu noted. “But, I think that she is a great person to connect the graduating class to society, specifically on the civic engage-ment level. She is an example of one who is attuned to what you learn in college and is able to use that to bring about greater change.”
