The Beginning of the Blog!
My Much Appreciated Readers,
Welcome to my blog! The topic of this blog is one that has generated alot of controversy in the past few months: alcohol. Ever since the Duke Lacrosse incident, there has been pressure from within and outside the University to reexamine the influence alcohol has here at Duke. In fact, the Campus Culture Initiative, a program headed by Dean of Trinity College here at Duke, Robert Thompson, is designed to do just that. This blog in particular will examine the academic effects of drinking on the University and their influence on University prestige.
Before I dive into the phenomenon known as Drinking at Duke, I'd like to pose a few questions for you all (my readers).
1) Do you yourself drink?
2) Does drinking have benefits? Does drinking have setbacks?
3) What is college drinking like?
4) What are college academics like?
5) What does a University value more, culture or curriculars?
Feel free to discuss these or leave comments of your own.
Thank you,
V.U.
