CAMPUS & COMMUNITY

COMMON HOUR WITH ADAM SILVER

When: Thursday, November 12 from 5-6 PM EDT

Common Hour is a fantastic program that bridges the gap between students and the incredible, far-reaching Duke community. Join Adam Silver, Duke alumnus and NBA commissioner, as he shares what it's been like leading the NBA during COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter movement, his experiences at Duke, and his thoughts on leadership and serving on the undergraduate education committee!

20|20 SCHOLARS FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

The 20/20 Fellowship Application is now open.

2020 is a watershed year in our collective experience demanding a renewed commitment to racial justice to understand our past, respond to the present, and shape a better future. How might character and purpose guide and sustain this work to bring a better world into focus? The 20/20 Scholars explore the realities of racism in our time through a spring seminar series with practitioners, activists and academics, an immersive summer experience working with and in a community, and a fall course to gain a deeper understanding of their own purpose and commitments to racial equity in our time. You can learn more about this paid Fellowship and find the application here.

Deadline of Friday, November 6th at 5pm.
