About this listen

 Hey Blue Devils, it's Jenny with your Campus Update for October 27 through November 3. Let's get you set for the week—fast. First up—the Duke Climate Commitment Fall 2025 Town Hall is happening Wednesday, October 29, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Ahmadieh Family Auditorium in Gross Hall. This is your chance to learn about Duke's climate plans and get involved. Food will be served, but you need to register in advance. Next, if you're interested in studying abroad, there's an info session for the Duke in Tanzania: Field Studies Summer 2026 program on Monday, October 27, from 3 to 4 p.m. in Biological Sciences 063. It's a great opportunity to learn about this unique program. Finally, the Nicholas Institute is hosting a seminar titled "Institutional Edgework: Navigating Field Intersections in Environmental Peacebuilding" on Tuesday, October 28, from 9 to 10 a.m. in Grainger Hall, Room 2102. No registration is required, so feel free to drop by. Over the weekend, our football team had a bye week, so no games to report. Looking ahead, the Blue Devils are gearing up for the big game against North Carolina on November 22 in Chapel Hill, where they'll battle for the Victory Bell. On Tuesday, October 28, from 6 to 8 p.m., there's a free screening of the documentary film "Shuffle" at the Rubenstein Arts Center. It's a great way to unwind and enjoy some thought-provoking cinema. Also, don't miss the Day of the Dead altar piece at Duke Chapel, on display until November 2. It's a beautiful tribute to Día de los Muertos and a chance to experience rich cultural heritage right here on campus. This week in Durham, expect a mix of cloudy skies and some much-needed rain, especially early in the week. Temperatures will be cool, with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. By Friday, the sun should make a return, bringing mostly sunny skies. So, keep an umbrella handy for the first half of the week, and enjoy the sunshine as we head into the weekend. Your move: register for the Duke Climate Commitment Town Hall by Wednesday to secure your spot and stay informed about Duke's sustainability initiatives. That's your quick Campus Update. I'm Jenny—catch you next Monday morning. Tap follow on your podcast app so you never miss a beat.
