In partnership with the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, the Duke libraries will forgive $1 for every unopened, unexpired and non-perishable food item donated during their “Food for Fines” drive.
The drive runs from October 10 through the 26th and the Duke libraries will forgive up to $25 worth of fines.
No fines? No problem! Anyone can donate to the drive. Read more about it on the Libraries’ blog, and thank you for your support.
Duke Undergraduate Admissions announced today they will extend the early decision deadline for students across the Southeast who were affected by Hurricane Michael.
The news was distributed to students and counselors in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Students who were impacted by Hurricane Florence have already received the same extension. You can read the full announcement on Duke Today.
Student volunteers from the Trinity School of Arts & Sciences, the Graduate School, the School of Nursing, the Fuqua School of Business, the Pratt School of Engineering, the Duke Divinity School, and the Nicholas School worked together for two days to help with hurricane relief.
Read the whole story and see images from their experience on the Nicholas School website.
The trip was organized by Elaine Madison, director of Duke’s Community Services Center, and Nancy Kelly, director of community engagement and events at the Nicholas School, in cooperation with Elizabeth Demattia, director of the Marine Lab’s Community Science Program, Rachel Lo Piccolo, PhD program coordinator at the lab, and other staff members at the Nicholas School, Marine Lab and Duke Community Services Center. It was sponsored by the Office of President Vincent E. Price.
Duke Divinity School will sponsor a Hurricane Florence relief effort in which a work team of volunteers from the Divinity community will go to a site in Fayetteville, N.C. to assist with clean-up efforts on two separate Saturdays in October.
Divinity students, faculty, and staff are invited to participate in one or both of the work days on Oct. 13 and Oct. 27 at a site selected by the N.C. United Methodist Church Emergency Response Team. The project is being coordinated by Bishop William Willimon, professor of the practice of Christian ministry at the Divinity School. Participation is limited to the Divinity School community.
