DURHAM, N.C. -- Some Duke University students are working to repair relations between the school and the city of Durham with a little sweat equity.

Duke students are investing in the community through a program called 'Project Build.' Nearly 150 students have fanned out across the city, helping nonprofits or local elementary schools.

'It helps you get out of the bubble that is Duke and get to know the community you're going to be a part of for four years,' said Duke student Rita Baumgartner."
