How do students’ backgrounds impact their experiences and performance before Duke, at Duke, and beyond? To what extent does preparation affect student success academically and otherwise? How do racial/ethnic and economic differences affect the challenges and opportunities students face during and after their undergraduate experience? Does diversity of experience create more opportunities or more challenges?
Join us for a dinner discussion on being successful at Duke, what we know about students’ preparation for life at Duke, and what happens after students graduate from the university. The conversation will feature Peter Arcidiacono, Professor of Economics, Jason Mendez, Visiting Assistant Professor in the Program in Education, and Baishakhi Taylor, Assistant Dean for Trinity College.
Dinner will be provided for those who RSVP by Friday, March 29th.
When: April 2nd from 6:30pm to 8pm
Where: Gothic Reading Room, Perkins Library
