Nolan Smith helps organize exciting new Duke talent show
This past weekend, the Blue Devils entered a different Big Dance when they performed in the first-ever Duke Idol. Organized by Nolan Smith and several classmates in George Grody’s “Markets and Marketing” class, the event showcased a number of Duke’s singing and dancing groups along with skits and “dances” performed by various athletic teams. Duke Idol was held in Cameron Indoor and proceeds from the event benefited the Duke Children’s Hospital. Celebrity judges for the event included football coach David Cutcliffe, Sue Wasiolek (assistant vice president for student affairs), Larry Moneta (vice president for student affairs), Kerstin Kimel (Women’s Lacrosse Coach) and Joe St. Geme, M.D., (chair of Duke Pediatrics). Our squad did not quite end up winning this Big Dance (see their performance below) but did had a great time showing off some additional unique moves on the court! A special congrats to Nolan for playing a key role in making this fun event happen for the Duke campus.
