-	I don't think there is a typical person	1:23
	that's a Duke student.	1:26
	I don't think you can just look at a person	1:28
	and say, "Well, that's a typical Duke student."	1:30
	The truth of the matter is that our students	1:32
	come from all over.	1:35
	We nourish the spirit of diversity	1:37
	and our students reflect that diversity.	1:40
	Now, they have a lot of things in common.	1:43
	They are good students, they're good scholars.	1:46
	They know how to enjoy life.	1:51
	All of those traits might mark a student,	1:55
	but I don't think there's such a thing	1:57
	as a typical Duke student.	1:59
-	I was hoping to come here	2:02
	and become an incredible Southern belle,	2:03
	but I don't think it's working. (laughs)	2:05
-	I came here and it was a day much like this,	2:08
	and I fell in love with it.	2:10
	And I'm still in love with it.	2:12
-	This is what I like most about Duke,	2:13
	I mean, look, see these women, (laughs)	2:15
	this is definitely what I like most about Duke.	2:18
	I hate going to class, that's what I don't like,	2:20
	but I know it's necessary, so.	2:22
-	Yeah, I like Duke a lot. It's a good time.	2:23
-	Duke is a great place	2:26
	with a lotta great minds to be picked.	2:27
	(calm relaxing music)	2:31
-	I think having a good time	3:05
	is part of the college experience,	3:07
	not to the exclusion of the academic pursuits,	3:09
	but certainly along with it.	3:14
	And there's no reason that having a good academic experience	3:15
	isn't in itself a good time.	3:21
-	I think the academic pressure	3:23
	pretty much comes from what you put on yourself	3:25
	and what you expect out of yourself.	3:29
-	The thing that I enjoy most in life	3:31
	and the thing that I enjoy most about Duke is teaching.	3:34
	It's working with these really remarkably alive students	3:38
	who are, I think, particularly eager	3:46
	for good things to happen in their lives.	3:49
	(calm upbeat music)	3:52

-	Athletics is no more important to me	17:03
	than any other department on this campus,	17:06

	And I think that visibility,	17:11
	and I've said this so many times before,	17:13
	requires a certain sense of responsibility	17:15
	and a certain amount of excellence.	17:18
	It is not the answer to being a great university,	17:24
	but it's a part of the puzzle.	17:27
