Emmett Till case reopened in apparent response to Duke researcher’s book When 14-year-old Emmett Till was found dead in Mississippi’s Tallahatchie river in 1955, two men were put on trial for his lynching and acquitted. More than 60 years later, federal authorities reopened the case in July in an apparent response to new information revealed by a Duke historian’s book. Tim Tyson, senior research scholar at the Center for Documentary Studies, published his lauded book “The Blood of Emmett Till” in 2017. The work included an interview with Carolyn Bryant Donham, the woman who alleged Till had flirted with her and whose husband and his half-brother were put on trial for the murder. In the interview, she recounted the part of her testimony that alleged Till had made physical advances at her and using obscenities. Tyson said that he was subpoenaed by the Justice Department and the FBI contacted him for his research, but he does not think any information he has is actionable and that the re-launching of the investigation is politically motivated. “I find it deep irony and appalling hypocrisy that Jeff Beauregard Sessions and Donald Trump would pretend to care about African-

The morning of August 2, Elaine Heath, dean of the Divinity School, was announced to be leaving the position effective that day. No specific reason for her departure was given by the University, but she will remain at Duke as a faculty member following a sabbatical this semester. Heath had served as dean for two years, and grappled with controversies about the school’s treatment of African-American and LGBTQ+ students. In the wake of her departure, Greg Jones, who previously held the position for more than a decade, is taking the reins of the school as the University conducts a nationwide search for Heath’s successor.

MMER STORIES affairs, announced his departure later in the month. He will step down from the position he has held for 17 years at the end of the 20182019 school year. He chose the date for his retirement two years ago, Moneta said. His career in student affairs spans decades, first at the University of Pennsylvania before he came to Duke in 2001. At the end of the Spring 2018 semester, he made waves for his role in an incident that resulted in the firing of two Joe Van Gogh baristas for playing an explicit rap song. In his capacity at Duke, he oversees a variety of university life functions ranging from dining and housing to student wellness. “After 45 years of working on a college campus, though, my list of unfinished projects remains as long today as when I started,” Moneta said in the news release.

The University announced in July that researchers will now have access to accelerated cloud computing through Microsoft Azure and the tech company will build an “Innovation Hub” in the Chesterfield Building downtown. “The computational power that this will bring to our research endeavor is immense,” said Lawrence Carin, Duke’s vice provost for research.

the SAT or ACT tests, the University will no longer require the writing score from the ACT or SAT essay section scores from applicants. The change seeks to reduce barriers for lowincome schools, according to Duke’s statement. The University will still recommend that applicants send those scores. “We will still pay careful attention to essay scores and what they represent for those students who submit them,” said Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Recently retired VP Phail Wynn dies Guttentag in a news release.

At Duke, he worked to define the University’s relationship with the city. He chose to establish his office downtown, which successfully lured other Duke groups to set up shop in that area as well. His office sponsored the Durham Spelling Bee and facilitated Duke’s investment in the Bull City Connector. “This man lived to serve—to serve his nation, his family, his city, his community, his university,” Brodhead said. “And he was never less than 100 percent invested in any service he undertook.”

Partnerships with Apple, Microsoft let students use Apple products like Duke Cards and pave way for research collaboration When Apple CEO Tim Cook, Fuqua ‘88, spoke at the class of 2018’s commencement ceremony, students did not know that they would soon be able to use his company’s products like their all-powerful Duke Cards. As one of a handful of schools piloting the program that adds student ID cards to the Apple Wallet, Duke students will be able to use iPhones and Apple Watches to enter dorms and purchase food. “With contactless student ID cards in Wallet, you can use your iPhone or Apple Watch anywhere student ID cards are used on and off campus,” states Apple’s description of the update. “Simply hold your device near Standardized testing policy tweaked the reader to access places like your dorm, the Following suit of its peers, Duke announced library, and campus events.

45 wins, while rising as high as ninth in the national rankings. After a disappointing ACC Tournament, it seemed as though the stellar season would go to waste when the Blue Devils were shut out in the first game of the Athens regional by Troy. Duke would need four consecutive victories in order to advance. Trailing 8-1 against Campbell the next day, the Blue Devils pulled off the unthinkable, scoring 15 unanswered runs in the final three innings to stay alive. Behind a breakout performance from freshman Chris Crabtree, Duke would go on to win the next three games and advance to their first super regional since 1961. “I’m kind of at a loss for words,” Blue Devil head coach Chris Pollard said after advancing. “To say I’m proud of our team is the biggest understatement that I’ve ever said. Unbelievable resiliency and character and fight, and they’ve got a lot invested in one another.”

‘Make yourself as uncomfortable as possible’ Professors, students share advice for the Class of 2022 By Sanha Lim Contributing Reporter

Aaditya Jain | Associate Photography Editor The C1 runs from East to West frequently during class times.

Amid a flurry of bright neon First-year Advisory Counselor shirts, chattering strangers and constant events, it’s easy for first-years to feel lost in their first days at Duke. But after Orientation Week, it’s straight into attending classes, studying for midterms and juggling newfound friendships in between. The Chronicle collected advice from students, faculty and administrators on how to navigate their first year at Duke. Ravi Bellamkonda, Vinik dean of the Pratt School of Engineering, recommended that first-years seek balance between academics and social lives. “I think the key to doing well initially is to not go to the

extremes, to give academics their due respect and work and at the same time sampling social things so one has a life,” Bellamkonda wrote in an email. Michael Munger, director of undergraduate studies of the department of political science, advised students to take advantage of the educational opportunities that can be found outside the classroom. “Don’t let schoolwork get in the way of your education. Don’t think you can’t go to talks or performances because you have too much schoolwork,” Munger wrote in an email. “On the other hand, make sure you show up to class. Go to every class. Pay attention, and ask questions. Engage with the material, because that will help you remember it better.” He added that Duke has a wealth of resources that first-years can take advantage of, advising students to talk to professors, counselors, or other students when they need help. Bellamkonda also noted that there is “a whole universe of great people ready to help” first-years at Duke. Sophomore Nathan Liang indicated that talking to one’s Director of Academic Engagement is a way to learn more about opportunities at Duke. “[My DAE] led me to my summer program, Data+, connected me with helpful major-specific advisers and provided guidance on how to prioritize my extra- and co-curriculars. She even kept up email correspondence to check in on me several months later,” Liang said. Sofia Hagos, a public policy major, advised first-years to get out of their comfort zone. “Make yourself uncomfortable as possible,” Hagos wrote in a message. “I didn’t really focus on making friends apart from my roommate and her friends due to constant worrying about whether people would like me or not. “ Stepping out socially helped Hagos get the most out of her first year. “Towards the end of my first semester, I really made a concerted effort to make myself as uncomfortable as possible and started attending club meetings and socializing more which really impacted my ‘Duke experience’ for the better,’” Hagos explained. As for bad advice? A common piece of advice that Munger disagreed with is the adage “find your passion.” “If you went to a buffet, full of exotic and interesting foods, you shouldn’t just eat the dishes you already know you like. Try something else,” Munger wrote. “College is a means to an end. If you don’t develop skills, how are you going to be able to find a career that allows you to discover your passion, and pursue it, five years and ten years after you leave Duke?” Bellamkonda agreed with Munger. “I really think that one ‘builds’ one passion through engaging with something in depth a bit,” Bellamkonda added. “So don’t subject every experience to ‘is this lighting my world on fire or not’ test – get to know each thing a bit, engage with it, a bit of immersion and then you will know.”
