Mission
The Academic Advising Center (AAC) oversees academic advising for Duke students until they declare their major during sophomore year. Through the AAC, students have a network of advising resources and services available to help them explore the many curricular and co-curricular opportunities at Duke. You can send a quick, general question to advising@duke.edu and someone will respond; you can schedule a virtual appointment with one of the AAC Advising Directors if you have questions that require more time than a quick drop in meeting; and you can meet with a Director of Academic Engagement (DAE) who can help you make the most of your time at Duke.

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.

The mission of Blue Devils Make Comics (BDMC) is to provide a community for Duke
students who enjoy or are interested in making comics and cartoon illustrations. We
also aim to promote this art form on campus and beyond through publications and
creative collaborations with other organizations.

BDMC 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 comic creators and cartoonists. There are many dimensions to making
comics, and we are open to those 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 meetings, members are provided with a space to devote time to personal
creative projects in the realm of comics, cartoons, and related domains. They can also
challenge themselves by creating a short comic strip, character design, concept, or
similar in response to a weekly 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 related to the comics industry.
