A brief description of the programs sponsored by the institution to support underrepresented groups:
In order for students to embrace the diversity of the Duke campus and the world that surrounds them, they must first understand and embrace their own sense of identity.
The Division of Student Affairs recognizes this and features a variety of identity centers including the Women’s Center, the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture, the Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Life, the Multicultural Center, the International House and a variety of religious communities.
We take great pride in supporting the ‘Big-D’ Duke community as well as the variety of sub-communities that comprise it. We are well aware, however, of the challenges associated with supporting numerous individual identity groups while fostering inter-group interaction and a collective Duke student identity. That said, through our approach at Duke, we can uniquely and simultaneously celebrate and advance student differences and commonalities.
The Division of Student Affairs is committed to exposing students to and engaging them in the spirit and practice of multiculturalism and inclusion so that we may prepare them for their future in this ever-changing landscape of people, places and ideas. Through our efforts, we will promote cultural diversity through collaborative student-initiated events, faculty and staff led dialogue, social interaction and experiential learning.
