Student Affairs

A complete university education provides students the opportunities to experience and apply their education beyond the classroom and beyond campus, to apply their knowledge in service to society.

Duke's Division of Student Affairs offers graduate and undergraduate students a variety of initiatives and programs that address the whole of students’ lives, including their intellectual, social, cultural and physical development.
 

Student Affairs provides leadership opportunities, promotes interaction among diverse racial, ethnic, international, and political perspectives, supports healthy habits and lifestyles, and provides outstanding career counseling and postgraduate opportunities.
