Mission
We want to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for Duke students at all stages of their reading journeys. Especially on a campus with such intense academic pressure, conversations about literature can be intimidating for new members. Through small-group reading sessions and casual coffee-shop conversations, we hope to create intimate spaces where students feel comfortable freely sharing their thoughts and ideas (certainly about our monthly readings, but also about anything those readings might stir up in them). Our overarching goals are to integrate leisurely reading into daily student life at Duke and promote the message that reading can be a form of self-care, identity exploration, and pure enjoyment completely free of academic pressure.

Mission
In order to ease the process of dying for both the patient and the family, hospice is an essential component of end-of-life care. Patients are given comfort and medical care during their last days alive, and families are given greater peace and ease while losing their loved one. However, due to the high cost of hospice care, families often lack the means to fulfill their loved one's wishes while paying for the care itself. For instance, when speaking with nurses and the volunteer coordinator at Hock Family Pavilion, it became clear to me that patients in hospice care may ask for specific books to be read to them, a specific meal to be delivered, or a certain product/item. These requests can be costly, and hospice centers like Hock Family Pavilion are not equipped to fulfill these requests. In order to ease the burden of these requests and to increase hospice patients' happiness and wellbeing, Bring Happiness for Hospice will be dedicated to raising funds to fulfill hospice patients' requests while in care. In conjunction with Hock Family Pavilion (and with the potential of partnering with more hospice centers in the near future), funds will be raised and allocated towards this purpose. Additionally, club members will work towards delivering the requests (e.g., physically purchasing and delivering a book, meal, item, or other request).

While this club is dedicating towards increasing happiness amongst people towards the end of their lives, it also recognizes the great stress and burden that weighs on college students. Thus, the fundraising for hospice patients will center around wellness events that are open to all Duke students. With free events ranging from yoga classes (led by yoga instructor-certified Duke students) to painting classes and meditation practices, these events will be dedicated towards providing stress relief for Duke students. Additionally, events will vary from week to week to keep students interested in and excited about attending. Any Duke student will be able to attend these events for free via registration, and donations at these events will be greatly encouraged and promoted. Additionally, Hock Family Pavilion has expressed interest in conducting fundraising events in the broader Durham community in partnership with a sub-committee at their hospice center.

Thus, the overall purpose is to increase the happiness of hospice patients through activities that simultaneously improve Duke students' well-being.

The mission of the Cartoonists’ Collective at Duke (CCD) is to provide a community for Duke students who appreciate or are interested in creating comics, cartoons, and related art forms. Moreover, we strive to promote these art forms on campus and beyond through publications and creative collaborations with other organizations.

CCD aims to be a diverse community that embraces creators regardless of style, medium, or genre of interest. We welcome prospective members of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced artists and creators. There are many dimensions to making comics and cartoons, and we embrace creators who enjoy being involved in all aspects of creation, as well as those who prefer just one of them (e.g., only drawing or only writing). In this regard, we are passionate about facilitating partnerships between interested creators.

At weekly or biweekly meetings, members are provided with a space to devote time to personal creative projects in the realm of comics, cartoons, and related domains (e.g., illustration, animation). Members can also create work in response to a weekly or biweekly prompt, which can help spur the development of larger projects. Additionally, we aim to offer opportunities to connect with other creators, share work and receive feedback, showcase work for a broader audience, collaborate on organization-wide projects, learn new techniques at educational workshops, and hear from guest speakers in fields related to the comics industry.

This group was previously known as Blue Devils Make Comics.

The Culinary and Wine Appreciation Society is dedicated to providing education and appreciation for global food and wine, focusing on its cultural significance across diverse traditions. Through lectures, meetings and tastings, members will deepen their understanding of the history of wine, learning about food/wine pairings and improve blind tasting skills.

Our mission includes reframing students’ outlook on alcohol, through demonstrating that alcoholic drinks should be consumed safely, enjoyably, in moderation and for their flavor. This will be achieved by providing spittoons at tastings, allowing members to sample wines without consuming them and by exploring the flavor profiles of various wines.

For students under the age of 21 and non-drinkers, we will offer an alternative tasting experience using tools such as “Le Nez du Vin”, which replicate the flavors found in wines through scent, enabling participants to engage with the tasting process without consuming alcohol, as is practiced by sommeliers across the globe.

Additionally, the club aims to educate members about the world of wine and food through guest lectures from local food historians, restauranteurs, horticulturalists, vignerons and food producers. These talks will focus on the history of produce, its cultural significance, and how these elements influence cuisine and wine today. Tastings may accompany these sessions, helping members develop their palates and olfactory senses.

We also intend to foster relationships with the local food and wine community in Durham and the surrounding area. In particular, we plan to collaborate with local businesses and organizations, such as Sandy Bridger, the head of the Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs in the Triangle area, the oldest food and wine society, and owner of a wine shop in Durham.

Also, the club aims to equip members with the confidence and skills to navigate professional events where drinking wine and dining are an integral part of the occasion.

The second initiative is Spread the Word to End the Word, an ongoing campaign to end the pejorative use of the R-word – retard(ed) – and raise awareness of its dehumanizing effects.
