THE CHRONICLE

Fareed Zakaria commencement speaker

by Nicole Kyle THE CHRONICLE

More than two years following his first visit to Duke, renowned journalist and author Fareed Zakaria will return to encourage Duke’s graduating seniors in an interconnected world.

As a fellow of the Yale Corporation, the governing board and policymaking body for the university, Zakaria came to Duke in September 2009 for one of Yale Corp.’s five annual meetings at a peer institution. Zakaria said that he found the visit energizing and exciting, but also a little nerve-wracking as Yale Corp. discovered it could learn a lot from Duke’s dynamic initiatives.

Zakaria, host of CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria’s GPS,� editor-at-large at Time magazine and columnist at The Washington Post, was announced as this year’s commencement speaker Nov. 11. “Upon the [Yale Corp.] visit, there was a feeling that Duke was willing to experiment more and do thing in ways that were perhaps a little bit less traditional, especially with its international efforts,� Zakaria said.

Duke’s strategy in Singapore, with the Duke-National University of Singapore Graduate Medical School, was particularly striking to the Yale group, Zakaria said. Yale officially launched its own partnership with the National University of Singapore—Yale-NUS College—in April 2011. “Duke realizes that the world we are

entering into is profoundly different and is committing time and resources and energy in that way,� Zakaria said.

It is this global sentiment that Zakaria said he hopes to communicate to the Class of 2012 during Duke’s commencement ceremony in May. “What I think I would like to do is to convey [and] to sketch out just what this new world is going to look like as best as I can,� he said.

Although Zakaria wants to give students a sense of the challenges of an increasingly globalized world, he moreover will emphasize the vast opportunities now available given the world’s shrinking size and rise of other nations.

America is not a sole superpower in a time where other nations are rising politically and economically—something to which society must adjust, Zakaria said. “Americans are right now going

through a phase of being very apprehensive about this new world, as some think it is fundamentally un-American [to think of America as one of many powerful nations],� he said. “I think we should be excited. You cannot stop China from growing. You can’t stop India from growing. What we can do is ask how do we stop and take fullest advantage of this new world.�

Zakaria said the rise of technology, new media and ease of travel are just a few of the factors working simultaneously to grow this new world, acting as “global accelerators.� “You’re in this strange time when things are moving at such warp speed, and in many senses... expanding the world but connecting it at the same time,� he added.

This message is particularly relevant to graduating seniors, given that globalization will characterize the workforce and the society that students will enter upon graduation. “A huge percentage of graduating seniors have studied abroad and participated in DukeEngage, and many have plans to pursue their interests abroad after graduation, so I think that Dr. Zakaria’s remarks on engaging in an increasingly globalized world will be very applicable,� senior Christina Lieu, a member of the student advisory group that helps choose the commencement speaker wrote in an SEE ZAKARIA ON PAGE 25

Roshan Sadanani student speaker

by Andrew Luo THE CHRONICLE

When delivering a speech to his entire academic class before everyone accepts a degree and goes off into the world, Senior Roshan Sadanani will remember to stay calm.

Sadanani will face this challenge soon enough. He was chosen last month to be this year’s student commencement speaker, and he will address his peers, family and faculty at Sunday’s commencement ceremony at Wallace Wade Stadium. Sadanani’s experience as president of the Duke Debate team has given him practice with public speaking, but the new test will be how best to capture the Duke experience.

“At the end of the day, I want people to think about what Duke means to them,” Sadanani said. “I have learned a lot about myself and made friendships that will last forever. If you put all these things together, that’s what college is all about.”

Sadanani, a biomedical engineering major, said he took advantage of various aspects of student life at Duke, from attending Duke Symphony Orchestra concerts to participating in DukeEngage in Tanzania. The opportunities that are available at Duke made his college experience memorable, and therefore worth reflecting on in a speech.

“For me, being a student at Duke has been a holistic experience,” Sadanani said. “I know that my time in college may be very different from someone else’s, but I hope my speech will send a meaningful message to everyone.”

Being the student commencement speaker can be intimidating, but it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, said former Duke Student Government President Mike Lefevre, Trinity ’11. Lefevre, got a chance to experience the intimidation and the exaltation last year, when he delivered the student commencement speech

for the Class of 2011. Looking back, he said an important part of making a great speech is connecting with the audience.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Senior Roshan Sadanani will deliver the student address at Sunday’s commencement ceremony.

“It was an intense atmosphere when I first walked onto the stadium, but I had the support of my friends and classmates who were watching me,” Lefevre said.

“You need to relax—the audience will enjoy your speech more if they can see that you’re having fun.”

Sterly Wilder, associate vice president for alumni affairs, chairs the student speaker selection committee that chose Sadanani from a record pool of applicants.

Being the student commencement speaker is a great chance to connect with one’s peers before they get ready to leave Duke, she said.

“I have worked with selecting the student commencement speaker for 20 years, and it’s always a rewarding experience to see the different speeches that all the students have come up with,” Wilder said. “Once you’re up on stage, the important thing to do is to slow down and relish the moment.”

The committee, which is comprised of students and faculty, got to see Sadanani deliver his speech as he advanced through the second and third rounds of the selection process. The committee now has worked with Sadanani several times to revise his speech, Wilder noted.

The structure of Sadanani’s commencement speech speaks to his overall personality, said senior Kejal Shah, who is a close friend of Sadanani. She said she has worked closely with Sadanani in editing and refining his address to prepare for the big day. She said his speech reflects his desire to connect with his fellow sudents and the Class of 2012. “[Sadanani] was really concerned about making sure that his speech spoke to the entire audience and not just the undergraduates,” Shah said. “He’s really hardworking and eloquent, but one of the unique things about Roshan is that he looks out for everybody to make sure that his own experiences will have an impact on other people.”

freshman year ’08 -’09 History was made as the Class of 2012 began their Duke careers.

After a long campaign that saw Democrats winning traditionally Republicanvoting North Carolina, Barack Obama was elected the nation’s first black president.

Many students celebrated the victory—a

Chronicle poll conducted in Oct. 2008 showed that nearly 75 percent of Duke undergraduates eligible to vote preferred Obama over his Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain.

Obama faced a broad set of concerns, including a near collapse of the financial

system and subsequent economic downturn. The sluggish economy left a deep impact on the University as wellâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;its endowment fell 20 percent between June 2008 and January 2009. To alleviate a $125 million deficit, the administration announced $50 million in budget cuts. Major projects, including plans for New Campus, were consequently put on hold.

In more positive economic developments, Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Financial Aid Initiative, a fundraising effort that began in 2005, raised $308 million by the end of 2009. Although the Financial Aid Initiative fell just short of its $230 million goal for undergraduate aid, it surpassed its goal of raising $300 million total.

Duke also established a greater foothold abroad with the opening of the Duke-National University of Singapore Graduate Medical School in February 2009. The facility proposed to increase collaboration between researchers in Durham and Singapore and allow students to benefit from a more globalized learning environment.

Although the city of Durham also faced

budget shortfalls and a weak economy, it inaugurated the $44 million Durham Performing Arts Center in late 2008.

In March, Awa Nur, Trinity â&#x20AC;&#x2122;10, became the first female president of Duke Student Government in 10 years and only the second black female in the role.

Former Duke professor, African American Studies scholar and civil rights activist John Hope Franklin died March 25, 2009, at the age of 94. Many prominent individuals, including former president Bill Clinton, came to Duke to honor Franklinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life during a memorial service held in the Duke Chapel the following June.

Duke sports teams entered their season with potential but often fell short of their high expectations. The football team under new coach David Cutcliffe finished its season with a 4-8 record showing signs of improvement. Under head coach Joanne McCallie, the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team lost to Michigan State in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball clinched the ACC title but then lost to Villanova in the sweet sixteen round. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;from staff reports

THE CHRONICLE

sophomore year ’09 -’10 from Staff Reports THE CHRONICLE

Sophomore 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, President Richard Brodhead announced a plan to cut the University’s budget by $125 million over three years. In an October report, the University exposed a 29.1 percent decrease in net assets, from $8.6 billion to $6.1 billion, attributed largely to decreasing investments. Due to market turmoil, donations 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 $27.5 million when a large portion of employees accepted 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. Kunshan agreed to provide 200 acres of land for research, education and housing.

In October, Duke also announced plans for Keohane 4E, commonly referred to as K4, the newest addition 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.

junior year ’10 -’11 from Staff Reports THE CHRONICLE

CAREER CENTER

The Class of 2012’s junior year was characterized by periods of positive global attention on the University mired by episodes 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. Karen 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 presentation went viral and caught the attention of national media outlets such as NBC’s Today Show and The New York Times.

Owen’s PowerPoint led to a more general 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 humorous, 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 Drew Everson and Inside Joke comedy

troupe, among other activities, was celebrated for his incredible wit, sense of humor and curiosity about the world around him.

Disaster continued to define the Fall semester when a minor was found unconscious 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 Kunshan, China. An initial investment of $5.5 million was needed for design, consulting and construction oversight. Administrators estimated in March that between $5.4 million and $15.6 million each year for six years will be needed to cover the campus’s operating costs.

Despite initial excitement concerning the proposed campus, some faculty members expressed concern in March and April regarding the details of the project’s funding, 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 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

The Class of 2012 graduates from Duke after concluding a senior year characterized by flux in policy on and off campus.

Under the house model set to begin Aug. 2012, administrators 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

The Class of 2012 lost one of its own when senior Matthew Grape passed away in a car accident in September.

Grape was remembered for his unwavering loyalty to his family and friends.

In January, an unpublished study suggested that affirmative action maska an academic achievement gap between racial groups, drawing protests from minority students. Shortly after, the Black Student Alliance confronted 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 expanded its medical care offerings by opening the Duke Cancer Center in February. The $230-million facility will emphasize multidisciplinary communication and increased support services through a space that can accommodate roughly twice as many patients.

In the months leading to the May 8 priMatthew Grape

mary, Duke, often labeled as politically apathetic, became a major source of opposition to Amendment One, which aimed to define marriage as between one man and one woman in the North Carolina constitution. The University reiterated its support for the LGBT community, and Duke Together Against Constitutional Discrimination hosted rallies on campus. Seventeen days of early voting in the West Union Building drew hundreds 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 Management Studies degree program offered by the Fuqua School of Business. Nonetheless, both construction and pending Chinese Ministry of Education approval have delayed the opening of DKU to Fall 2013. Administrators and SEE SENIOR ON PAGE 14

Despite a buzzer-beater win against North Carolina in February, the men’s basketball team suffered a loss to the Tar Heels in their effort to claim the ACC regular season title and lost to 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 defeating Michigan State at Madison Square Garden.

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

ZAKARIA from page 2 email Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Zakariaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expertise in international issues was certainly something that captured our interest in the selection committee.â&#x20AC;?

Acknowledging that he is speaking to students during a difficult time, Zakaria described his charge as commencement speaker as providing some guidance and outlining a map for young people entering the society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is not only the anxiety of leaving a very happy four years and entering this wider and wider world, but also doing so at a time when the economy is in bad shape, when the world is changing [and] when there are many apprehensions about Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place in the world and whether we will be able to

FRIDAY, MAY 11, 2012 | 25

sustain the kind of standing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had,â&#x20AC;?

Zakaria said.

When Zakaria spoke at Duke in November 2009, the journalist discussed the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changing political and economic landscape. Two years later, the rise of other nations joining America at the top is undeniable. Zakaria noted that after enduring the financial crisis, people have a clearer sense of the reality of this new world.

Despite the challenges of a new world hierarchy, students should approach the future with optimism, Zakaria said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Optimism is a kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you see things from an entirely negative perspective, you will only see the problems. If you look at the world asking what can be done... ultimately thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what produces solutions.... As a result, those prob-

lems donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end up being as bad as they seemed.â&#x20AC;?

In the past, Zakaria has delivered the commencement remarks at Brown, Johns Hopkins and Yale universities, though he noted that this type of speech is one of the hardest to give. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all that stands between students and their degreesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that makes it quite challenging,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to be smart, profound and you have to be a little bit funny all in 15 minutes.â&#x20AC;?

Among the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to be on the cutting edge and its willingness to try new things, Zakaria noted the energy and intellectual curiosity of Duke students. Zakaria said he considers the opportunity to deliver Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commencement remarks this year a â&#x20AC;&#x153;huge honorâ&#x20AC;? and an â&#x20AC;&#x153;enormous pleasure,â&#x20AC;? calling Duke students â&#x20AC;&#x153;first class.â&#x20AC;?

President Richard Brodhead said Zakariaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outlook on international relations, and his experiences as a foreign relations correspondent and adviser, makes him a timely speaker.

The correspondent will also speak at Harvard Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduation ceremony May 24. Zakaria told The Crimson Oct. 14 that he also plans to â&#x20AC;&#x153;sketch the new worldâ&#x20AC;? for its graduates.

Fareed said the speeches will be different, though noted that there could be overlap given their similar themes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very excited,â&#x20AC;? Zakaria said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really had wonderful experiences at Duke and to be able to do this for such an important time is very exciting and is really an honor. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: This article originally ran in the Nov. 28, 2011 issue of The Chronicle
