Hey all,
I hope your summers are going swimmingly. We've got an anonymous post this week for you, and thanks to recent alum AJ for writing a post during the week.
Now without further ado, notes from OC:
#1
I am not sure if this has ever been considered before, but I think it would be great if the Duke LGBT Center did an "It Gets Better" video. Several other colleges around the country have created videos, so I think it would be exciting to showcase LGBT life at Duke for prospective students and show that it does get better.
Please remember that there are a number of resources available on campus and in the local community. resources are available over breaks and throughout the school year. If you or a friend are experiencing thoughts or urges to harm yourself or somebody else, please reach out to the following resources: In an emergency, please don't hesitate to call CAPS at any time, including "after hours" at (919) 966-3820. Ask to speak to the advice nurse and tell them you are a Duke student. You may also call the Trevor Project, a national hotline specifically for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and questioning youth (college students included). Their number is 866-4-U-TREVOR (866-488-7386).

Hey #1. During the lead up to the vote on amendment one last year Duke produced this Make It Better video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_ZnyqukfvE) which is pretty cool and really well done.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, I'm not sure if you are familiar with the You Can Play project (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=SXoTRTAw6Dc) at all but the athletic department is currently working on a public service announcement along those lines that will hopefully be released sometime in September.
