Campus Life

The Campus Life (CL) Committee oversees the social development of Duke students and assists with university policies relating to the undergraduate experience. We handle athletic events, K-Ville, residential life initiatives, social programming, parking & transportation, and dining. Last year, we successfully passed the K-Ville Financial Aid Statute, improved access to online appointment booking, and reimagined equivalency options and the five dollar deal in dining halls. This year, the Campus Life committee hopes to complete project work allowing food point usage in Cameron Indoor Stadium & Wallace Wade Stadium, piloting an airport transportation shuttle to RDU, and integrating Quads into student life through tailgating and the planning of QuadCup competitions. Our project work is crafted with intentionality and care to address shifting student needs as Duke moves into its second century.

Projects

• Airport Transportation Shuttles: Piloted airport shuttle bus program in fall 2024, transporting over 300 students from Duke to RDU for Thanksgiving break.
