One of Nan Keohane’s crowning achievements of her reign as empress of Duke over the past decade was completely overhauling residential life. I know she spent far more time raising billions of dollars than caring about where selective living groups would be living on campus, but it was her vision that ultimately resulted in Psi U getting moved from its home of 25+ years in Craven Quad to the new WEL dorms. Well, yesterday the WEL was officially renamed Keohane Quad. So Psi U now resides in Keohane Quad. How ironic. To her credit, Nan did personally reply to an email I sent her back in 1994 or 1995 expressing my concern over the plans to shuffle the selective houses. I was superdav@duke.edu, and she said I had an “interesting moniker.”
