Four-Year Dean Model
Each student is assigned to one academic dean, and this dean will remain theirs for all four years. This is to ensure that every student has one consistent academic contact over the course of their time at Duke, as well as to provide for holistic support and long-term mentoring relationships that provide continuity over time. First-year students are assigned to a dean in late July or early August.
