March 31, 2008 - Honor Blog!
We are happy to announce the launching of our new blog! Loosely themed for maximum flexibility and creativity, the honor blog provides an informal public space for councilors to share their thoughts on issues directly or tangentially related to honor and ethics at Duke and beyond. Contents will likely range from the witty to the weird, and from the in-depth to the more easily digestible -no two councilors are alike, and the blog will serve as a window to our varying opinions, as well as a forum for ongoing debate and interesting things-to-consider. Check out the link on our resources page, or just click HERE .
