Connecting Jewish Duke Alumni
“The Jewish Life at Duke community extends well beyond our four years at Duke. I loved seeing new and old faces at DC’s first (but not last!) Duke Jewish Alumni Network event!” -Lindsay Morgenstein (T’22), Washington DC DJAN Happy Hour Host
The Duke Jewish Alumni Network kicked off 2023 with a Happy Hour event series! DJAN volunteers hosted happy hours in 8 cities throughout the US, including Austin, New York City, Washington DC, San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, Durham, Baltimore, and a virtual option. Alumni of all ages are finding joy by connecting with the Duke Jewish community close to home, and even virtually.
