Here’s a Duke Chronicle story by a student who infiltrated a convention of “student affairs professionals.” A snippet:

Upon entering the main exhibition hall, representatives from more than 100 companies peddling their respective wares, I was a god. Exhibitors’ eyes lit up when they way ‘Duke University’ on my conference badge. My outward appearance as a scrappy, jetlagged college student was irrelevant. Duke has money. Many of our students have money. Lots and lots of money.
