Wyatt Shields is a third-year biomedical As you can read in the article “Calculating ΔPratt” by Matt Nagle, engineering Ph.D. student and NSF Fellow in DukEngineer is a student tradition that’s almost as old as our school the research group of Gabriel P. Lopez. Wyatt’s itself.

Wyatt also enjoys hiking, To me, DukEngineer is a great example of the kind of student-led traveling, music and long-distance running. engagement and initiative that sets Duke Engineering apart. Our students aren’t ones to focus narrowly—they bring their wide-ranging talents and passions to everything they do, and Duke provides a fertile ASSOCIATE EDITORS: environment for developing and applying that energy to make a real difference in the world. In this issue, our students will tell you about work they’re doing to improve health care in developing nations, build better robots and improve community access to clean water. They’ll tell you about the professors who inspire and mentor them, giving them opportunities to participate in hands-on research in areas ranging from environmental chemistry to microfluidic biochips to medical imaging. And they’ll share the success that comes from all that hard work, with excellent career prospects across the board.

This module will look at the Facility Management Professional as LEADER. What motivates you? What is your skill set? What’s your next step on the ladder of success? How do you take your team/department/division/organization to the next level? What is the next level? What do you want to develop in yourself and why and then how? This module is in two parts; Part 1 - at the start of the conference and; Part 2 - at the end of the conference. These questions and others will be asked and then answered. You will be re-energized!! Keywords: Leadership, Advancement, Personal Development Orientation to Duke University – History, Tradition & Mission Duke University in Durham, North Carolina traces its origins to 1838 to Methodist and Quaker families in rural Randolph County, NC. In 1892, after a spirited competition among piedmont cities, Trinity College (now East campus) opened in Durham, largely because of the generosity of Washington Duke, an influential and respected Methodist who became prosperous in the tobacco industry. In 1924, James B. Duke established The Duke Endowment, a forty million dollar trust fund, for a university to be built around Trinity College and for the creation of a new campus. So begins Duke University and the construction of the new West, or Gothic, campus. This session orients you to Duke University, the campuses, the history, the area and more.

  • In a Letter to University President Vincent Price
    To: President Vincent E. Price CC: Secretary of the Board of Trustees Richard Riddell, Executive Vice President Tallman Trask Sent via email to: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] February 18, 2019 Duke student organizations, faculty, staff, and alumni ask you to sign the GoTriangle cooperative agreement for the Durham-Orange Light Rail. Dear President Price: We, the undersigned Duke organizations, faculty, staff, and alumni, appreciate that Duke University has worked with GoTriangle to discuss its concerns regarding the Durham-Orange Light Rail transit project (DOLRT). The vitality of the Triangle region depends on an excellent public transit system, and this light rail is a crucial component. The benefits for Durham residents are numerous, including 1) Affordable housing, 2) Increased access to jobs, care, and education, 3) Environmental benefits, and 4) Return on investment. As an institution dedicated to increasing opportunity for all, it is the University’s moral responsibility to uplift our region by supporting the successful development of the light rail. President Price, will you contribute the necessary land to the Durham-Orange Light Rail and sign the cooperative agreement with GoTriangle by the end of February? In the next 25 years, the Triangle region will grow by 1 million people.1 To meet that growth while simultaneously preserving quality of life, the Triangle will need to invest in transit systems that reduce traffic congestion. A light rail must be part of that solution if we are to match the practices of other growing metropolitan areas. Accessible transit is also essential for affordable housing.

Jack asked his cousin and fellow Naval Academy midshipman Rolf Shepard to entertain Mary, and “the rest is history,” Mary says. She graduated from high school and was accepted at Duke University. She completed freshman and sophomore years, but then decided to marry Rolf, and the couple moved to California. Mary went on to earn a degree in nursing from a community college and worked as a nurse for 20 years—in physician practices specializing in surgery, pediatrics, and OB-GYN. Rolf retired from the Navy after 20 years and then served as the Kern County veterans’ service officer in Bakersfield, Calif., for 22 more years, helping veterans and their dependents claim benefits. In 2005 the couple moved to Chocowinity, N.C., on the Pamlico River, to be closer to Mary’s family. Even though she did not graduate from Duke, Mary maintained an allegiance.

Duke addressing them? As you will see in the pages that follow, we are doing just that. Embedded in each data point and story that follows is not only a clear account of what we are doing, but also expressions of why we are doing it and why it matters. The civic ethos is alive and thriving across this University. The history detailed in this report illustrates that it is a founding principle, a rich and varied current priority and surely a future emphasis. I am confident that the document will help to pave the way for how we think about the Duke we want — not only for next year but also for the generations that follow. Dear Colleague: We know full well that we have not captured everything. Additional programs, people and policies I am so pleased to share with you this remarkable will shape future reports.
