2024 Grad/Prof Student Day Experience – #6 Museum of Life and Science Brunch

[NOTE: This event has already occurred.]

As an extension to our 2024 Summer Transition Series webinar sessions, Graduate and Professional Student Services is excited to announce six immersive in-person Day Experiences!

Day Experiences are designed:

  • For first-year incoming Graduate and Professional students at Duke University.
  • To foster a sense of belonging for graduate and professional students with Duke University in addition to unique academic programs.
  • To facilitate a pathway for students to build interdepartmental connections with other graduate and professional students at Duke.

Graduate & Professional Student Services (GPSS) is thrilled to bring you our favorite event as the finale of the GPSS Day Experiences series. This event is intended to connect student parents or students in Durham with partners/families. Bring your family to the renowned Museum of Life and Science, where you and your loved ones can explore “84 acres of science and nature experiences to spark imagination, creativity, and new ways of thinking about our world.”
