Me Too Campaign
The foundation of the "Me Too" campaign is to assert that, whatever issues a particular student may be dealing with, he/she is not alone. This is one way to forge connections among people, and to create a support system for those who struggle at Duke, but who feel that they have to hide their weaknesses.
Please take a couple of minutes to visit the "Me Too" submission website to post a word, a phrase, a sentence, or a story about your struggles, your successes, your fears, your hopes, your experiences, or anything else you would like to share. All submissions are completely anonymous. For inspiration, or to see what other students have contributed, you can view the "Me Too" blog at http://metoocampaign.blogspot.com.
DORRs Feature
