First Things First

True Blue

The resources below will help you gain access to all the amazing things that make the Duke experience so exceptional.

But first things first: before ordering celebratory face paint, make sure you’ve got the right shade of blue (Psst: It’s Pantone® color 280-C).

Get Ready for Duke

Duke University students march behind a banner with text Few Quad — First-year students who will enter Few Quad during their sophomore year walk up Chapel Drive during the Bricks to Stone parade on Friday afternoon. The East Campus houses of Gilbert-Addoms and Southgate are linked to Few Quad. Bricks to Stone, a campus-wide celebration, marks the transition of the first-year class moving from the bricks of East Campus to the stones of West Campus. The event featured a block party at Karsh Alumni Center, a parade up Chapel Drive, a class pinning ceremony, and quad after-parties with plenty of food, games, and free t-shirts with the new Quad Arches designs. As Duke’s new QuadEx living-learning model continues to take root, teams of students, supported by staff, have been working to distinguish the seven quad communities aimed at better integrating the academic and social lives of Duke students. The result is the Quad Arches, a series of visual icons designed to incorporate very particular characteristics of each West Campus quad.
