John Slack Doesn’t Slack

You may have seen an 18-year-old RC roaming the hallways checking to make sure that TIPsters stay out of mischief. His name is John Slack, and this is his first year of being an RC.
When John was younger, he was a TIPster. He attended Davidson University for two years and Duke East one year for TIP camp. After high school, John went on to Rice University in Houston, Texas and is a rising sophomore majoring in electrical engineering. But, John doesn’t brag about it, he is actually very quiet around those he doesn’t know.
John plans to be an RC next year at some Duke TIP location. When asked what his favorite part about being an RC was, he replied, “The kids.” If he had to say what the hardest part of his job was, he said, “Enforcing all of the rules. You have to be strict.”
John enjoys his job and we hope to see him again next year working at a TIP location as an RC.
