Duke

This page will include descriptions of my summer adventures at Duke University, and many photos. TIP and PCP were awesome experiences. To all bright and unusual middle and high-schoolers, i enthusiastically recommend TIP or a program like it--it changes your perspective on life, gives you a network of friends who share your interests, is relatively easy to convince your parents to pay for since it's "educational," and may be the best weeks of your life. The official TIP website is www.tip.duke.edu

NEW! the TIP Alumni site! still in progress (aren't we all?) but a long-awaited and greatly cherished project.

For those who were on East Campus a few years ago, there's the Unofficial TIP site

For PCP 2000, there's David Hoffman's site

please let me know of other tip/pcp sites out there. also, check out David's and Tara's Brown 201 essays (also accessible on the essays page of this site)

and Lindsay's Tipgasm photo gallery
