"Self-Segregation at Duke"--collaboration with BSA & Diya
6:00 pm
Mary Lou Center
As a finale to this year's VOICES, ASA will be collaborating with BSA for a thought-provoking and barrier-breaking self-segregation forum. After a casual ice breaker, members from both ASA and BSA will be encouraged to discuss self-segregation on campus--(is self-segregation an issue at Duke? Is it just natural? Why does it happen? etc.)
