Moving to Medium
Hi everyone!
From here on out, you can find our student blogs at https://medium.com/@dukestudents. We’ll keep our Tumblr live so you can see old posts, but we’re excited to be moving student stories to Medium. We hope you’ll follow along there, and be sure to follow us on our other social media accounts as well!

Have you ever wondered how a typical day of a college student goes?
Well, I followed Sam around with a camera for an ENTIRE day and trust me, you don’t want to miss it.

For Kristina Smith PPS’19, improving the Duke experience for low-income and minority students is at the heart of her work on campus.
As Duke Student Government’s Vice President for Services and Sustainability, Smith works tirelessly to help bolster student resources. Her latest effort, Daily Devil Deals, looks to improve affordability on campus by ensuring every dining vendor provides meal options for $5 or less. The proposal, which Smith brought to the administration, was borne from her realization that while Duke brings together students from varied socioeconomic backgrounds, low-income students may struggle financially on campus. Additionally, Smith believes the initiative helps address aspects of the much criticized freshman meal plan.
Smith’s previous leadership work involved working with the Duke Card Office to get flex increments lowered from $25 to $10 and bringing a local farmer’s market to campus. She is now discussing with financial aid the possibility of opening a “career closet” for students unable to purchase expensive clothes for interviews.
Smith credits her experience as a co-director for Common Ground with influencing her campus advocacy work. The five-day student retreat fosters dialogue about issues of race, socioeconomic status, gender and sexuality.
On her passion for helping students, Smith said, “If I can have a meeting, raise a concern, or lead a conversation that makes someone’s day easier, then it is absolutely worth my time. The work I do is motivated by people’s experiences.”
