To Our Readers:
The publication of the third edition of Saturday
Night has proven to us that this community has
embraced our message and that the publication is
addressing a tangible need at Duke. Your reaction
and support has left us overwhelmingly humbled and
awed. It has also shown us that our work is not
complete.
We have come a long way since the first edition,
from navigating the ropes of publishing to spreading
the publication’s message. From an incident of
sexual assault on Duke’s campus in 2002 that
inspired its inception, Saturday Night has
become a visible force in classrooms, dorm rooms,
and conversations. The essence of the publication,
however, has not changed. The stories you will find
are thought-provoking, compelling, and
courageous–they are stories from survivors, their
friends, and those who have been affected by sexual
assault in other capacities.
In a world where we are inundated by statistics
about rape and sexual assault on a daily basis, the
publication takes the issues to a human level; to a
Duke level. Statistics do not change a culture, but
we hope that sharing stories, discussing, and acting
upon them will.
Next Saturday night can be different.
Inspired,
The Editors of
Saturday Night
