Guests, Events, Speakers! The season is in full swing.
This week confirmed that I need to be sure there is some point in my life where I can be a full-time 'attendee' at every talk, seminar, guest lecture, and speaker series event at Duke.
Ask any student at the Nicholas School about one of the best perks of going to Duke and they will tell you the exposure to the most interesting, intelligent, and charismatic leaders in a host of industries. The best part is not only having the opportunity to listen to these guests at Duke but also meeting these charismatic and visionary leaders.
Let me share my outings this past week with you.
Monday - "The Stories Around Us" Five photographers who are recent graduates in the Documentary Studies program had prints on exhibition.
