Duke Academia for Social Responsibility and the Common Good (DASRCgood) is a community of graduate and professional students committed to exploring how academia can serve the public good. We foster interdisciplinary dialogue to understand how diverse fields—ranging from science and public health to policy, law, and the humanities—can contribute to a more just and equitable society.

Through critical discussions, collaborative learning, and public engagement, we examine the role of research and professional practice in addressing pressing social challenges, including inequality, healthcare advancements, nonprofit efficiency, and policy impact. We also advocate for and engage with social justice movements, including climate action, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), trans rights, women’s rights, and international human rights.

DASRCgood seeks to bridge the gap between academia and real-world impact, empowering scholars to apply their knowledge in ways that drive meaningful change. By fostering a culture of responsibility and ethical scholarship, we aim to cultivate a new generation of socially engaged academics and professionals dedicated to the common good.

We want to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for Duke students at all stages of their reading journeys.

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 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.

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.

Duke Ishq is a Bollywood/Hip Hop non-competitive dance group that aims to foster open learning and exploration of Indian dance styles and culture via performances at local events and Duke showcases. Duke Ishq hopes to provide dancers that want to participate in Bollywood and Hip-Hop dance with a non-competitive option that has a lower time and energy commitment than competitive Bollywood teams currently on Duke’s campus. Duke Ishq also features non-selective components to give any student across campus the ability to take part in Ishq practices. Our mission is to prioritize art and expression above all in our operations.

To elaborate, Duke Ishq’s membership will be comprised of two main components: attendees and the performance group. Attendees consist of anyone who attends Ishq’s open practices, which will take place twice a month. This is the non-selective aspect of the group, as it is open to anyone, and attendees will still be immersed in the Ishq community. The second component of Ishq’s membership is the performance group, which are those who have auditioned at the beginning of each semester (fall and spring) to perform on stage for Ishq. These performances will include our showcase (which will take place once a year in the spring semester), and performances we are invited to (ie: Fall Showcase, Diya’s Awaaz, and HSA Diwali). Our performance group would consist of roughly 40 members. By providing both of these membership components, we are proud to give anyone the opportunity to come dance with Ishq, while also giving students something to strive towards if they are interested in one day performing, and limiting performance numbers.
To elaborate on what non-competitive means in this context, Ishq will not be a part of any national dance circuits (ie: Desi Dance Network) in which groups travel and compete against each other. Rather, Ishq will only perform at local Duke dance showcases.
Ishq’s purpose also incorporates providing Duke’s campus with a dance group that focuses on the Bollywood dance style specifically. "Bollywood" is used as an umbrella term for all Indian dance styles, but there is also a specific Bollywood/Indian dance style called Bollywood. Another existing dance group does all Indian dance styles (using the umbrella term Bollywood), while Ishq does solely Bollywood style of dance (using the specific term Bollywood). This is a nuance with the word Bollywood that may not be as well-known to those who are not familiar with it.

Duke LEGO Club is dedicated to using the commonly known building blocks, LEGO, to build community among a diverse set of Duke students, as well as build community in the local area through volunteer work.

Classes can be stressful at times, so finding ways to unwind and connect with new people is essential to maintain mental health, and what better way to build connections with others than building connections between building blocks! By hosting events such as creative building events, or friendly competitions, DLC aims to provide a creative outlet and some friendly competition all while making new friends.

In addition, LEGO has the amazing ability to uplift everyone, thus Duke students can make an impact on people who are struggling by sharing the experience of building LEGO. By connecting with a local children’s hospital or orphanage, students can be paired up with a child and build a LEGO set together, not only sharing a fun, memorable experience, but also providing a memoir in the form of what is created.

Ultimately, by using LEGO, we can create connections and memories in a unique and special way. Together, we can build a greater Duke community, block by block.

Magical Moments Foundation is a wish-granting organization for children with craniofacial disorders. We work to make a difference in these children’s lives, spread awareness of the lifelong harm caused by appearance-related stigma, and promote acceptance of facial diversity.

Children with facial differences often endure the pain of teasing, bullying, and isolation— pain that can leave emotional scars that last a lifetime. Children that face the world with a difference also endure the challenge of a more silent, but just as damaging, form of stigma: that of unconscious bias. And so, many children with differences grow up in a world that tells them that their dreams must be smaller than those of their peers.

Magical Moments is working to change all of that. We create magical experiences that restore hope and provide comfort, inspiration, and encouragement to children with facial differences that are the result of genetic disorders, congenital anomalies, cancer treatment, severe trauma and burns. We help children understand that they are not at all limited by their appearance, but only by the size of their dreams! Through the magical moments that we create, we not only make a difference in children’s lives, but we also promote awareness of the lifelong harm caused by appearance-related stigma and create more widespread acceptance of facial diversity within our communities.

With your help, we can grant wishes that teach children with facial differences to believe in themselves while teaching the world to see and celebrate the beauty in every child!

Duke's Neurodiversity Advocates (DNA) is dedicated to introducing new healthcare professionals to a broader scope of education regarding disabilities, and facilitating outreach opportunities within our community.

This currently limited education and exposure to disabilities is a constraint on both understanding the true impact and providing adequate care. Providing holistic care to our patients requires the confident ability of the healthcare professional to eliminate biases, provide trust within our interactions and use respectful language. We hope that interprofessional collaboration will allow us to utilize our unique skill sets to grow as professionals, minimize the distance between the "disabled" and "abled" and build an inclusive environment that will benefit our future patients. While establishing these goals, we hope to be Duke's first Interprofessional Education (IPE) organization to ignite new ways of thinking, connections and opportunities.

Following rigorous training by our organization and our partners, undergraduate volunteers will serve as individual mentors to a small number of high school students. Mentors will meet with each mentee twice a month to offer tailored advice that addresses the mentee’s aspirations and circumstances. Our holistic approach aims not only to guide students through the mechanics of college applications but also to instill a sense of possibility, ambition, and belonging in the higher education landscape. We hope to foster longevity in our partnerships by preserving successful mentor-mentee pairs over multiple semesters or even years, providing the mentor a fulfilling service experience through their undergraduate career and providing the mentee consistent support through their high school career.
