Alejandro Uribe, standing, surprised the participants in this year's Duke Colloquium on Thursday evening. The group gathered at Durham's University Club to celebrate the successful visit of a group of young artists from Medellin, Colombia. At the end of the dinner, the group learned their meal had been prepared by Uribe, the club's sous chef, who is a native of Medellin. He circled the room to hug all of his fellow Colombians.
