Duke to open federal relations office in April
This article is from the Chronicle, the Independent Daily at Duke University, and was written by, Joel
Luther.
Duke’s permanent office in the nation’s capital is scheduled to open by the end of the month.
The new office seeks to facilitate greater interactions with the federal government and Duke alumni, as well as provide academic programs for students, such as the Duke in D.C. program that will launch Spring 2013. The office will serve as a centralized hub for members of the Duke community who find themselves in D.C., said Landy Elliott, assistant director of the Office of Federal Relations at Duke.
On any given week, there’s a ton of Duke activity going on in Washington,” Elliott said. “The idea is that we have a sort of embassy, a point of first contact in the city, so that we can raise Duke’s visibility in the nation’s capital.”

Duke Community Embracing Twitter
The following aricle was written by Margot Tuchler for "The Chronicle", the Independent Daily for Duke University.
Duke professors are trending on Twitter.
Members of the Duke community are increasingly relying on Twitter to communicate information about Duke and to promote and share their personal scholarship and research. Use of the site by Duke community members has risen noticeably in recent months, faculty and administrators said.
Mark Anthony Neal, professor of African and African American studies, opened an account at the insistence of former students. His account now has more than 11,000 followers. He operates on Twitter in a professional context, often as an extension of his work in the classroom, Neal said.
“Twitter is not for everyone, but for those folk who are interested in making their work accessible to a broader audience and to catch the attention of the many news producers who are seeking newsworthy stories on Twitter, it is a great platform,” Neal wrote in an email Thursday. “Folk in the academy are catching up to our students and others, who are way ahead of the digital curve, particularly as users.”
