The Chronicle Alumni Network (CAN) began in 2005, based on discussions at the Chronicle centennial celebration the previous year. CAN seeks to,

• Support The Chronicle and independent student journalism at Duke, politically and financially.
• Provide advice and training to Chronicle staff, as requested.
• Connect present and former Chronicle staff with job opportunities and professional development.
• Update former staff and others about Chronicle developments.

In the past year CAN has,

• Gathered recommendations for CAN activities from current students and alumni.
• Become affiliated with Duke Student Publishing Company (DSPC), The Chronicle’s publisher.
• Created the first-ever Advisory Board of alumni journalists to support Chronicle staff.
• Organized a fall journalism weekend, in cooperation with Duke Magazine and the University's DeWitt Wallace Center for Media and Democracy.

CAN is an affiliated unincorporated organization of DSPC, a 501(c)(3) public charity.
