Barbour Trend

The traditional English hunting jacket has had a revival and it has certainly hit Duke's campus by storm. The chlorophyll-green waxed jacket favoured by gamekeepers, and yes, The Queen, is perfect for an off-duty casual/appalling weather appropriate look. Attention Hunter-welly brigade, it is time to invest in this timeless classic. Trust English weather to necessitate an all-weather essential perfect for Durham's changeable weather! Featured: 1.

Duke Lemur Center Tour

You currently have an opportunity to tour the lemur center for free, but there is limited space so reserve your spot soon! I have done this tour before and I can honestly say that I had a splendid time. If you enjoy furry monkey-like creatures and want to see them up close and personal, you should definitely sign up. If you’re afraid of such creatures, I suggest avoiding the center altogether.
