Civic Engagement

At Duke University, we create opportunities for all members of our community to make a difference by promoting knowledge in the service of society. We encourage sensitivity both to the diversity of cultural expression and to the ethical dimensions of our enterprise. We encourage you, as a student beginning your college experience, to take advantage of the opportunity Duke affords to link your pursuit of knowledge to a search for the social good: to engage responsibly and productively with your world in the context of a scholarly community.
