Alumni

Following graduation, Benjamin N. Duke Scholars venture out into the world on

different paths, taking with them the knowledge, experience, and insight gained from four years at Duke.  Some move directly into employment in the non-profit or for-profit arena, others take the next step towards advanced degrees, several are awarded fellowships or post-graduate awards, and a few embark on their own entrepreneurial adventure.  We have alumni engaged with research at different levels and in different fields, from the Center for Global Development to the Duke Human Vaccine Institute.  Many alumni are enrolled in medical school or law school at prestigious institutions such as Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, and the one a few miles down the road, UNC-Chapel Hill.  B.N. Duke Scholars have also been winners of Fulbright and Truman Scholarships.  No matter what path they take, whether they work with an investment firm, an environmental advocacy organization, Teach for America, or are starting their own clothing line, they apply the same passion, commitment to social justice, and sense of civic responsibility and community that made them BNs in the first place.  No matter how far away their paths take them or how much time passes by, they will always be connected to Duke and to the Carolinas, thanks to the vision and funding of The Duke Endowment.  We take pride in their accomplishments and look forward to celebrating all that the future holds for them.
