Duke Graduate School

Why would a Humanities students join Toastmasters? For the opportunity to practice public speaking, the stimulation of creativity, and the ability to overcome challenges!

The Speed Mentoring Event was a creative and ambitious idea that exceeded our expectations. It allowed mentees to broaden their network of peer-mentors who could provide multiple resources, not only for completing their respective graduate programs, but for thriving within them as well.

“When I first became a Digital Humanities Specialist I didn’t know that I was going to love having meetings but I really do. I like coming in to work and I like having people around, and I love being a consultant. I love it when people come in to see me and they say, ‘I have this idea, how do I do it?’ and I have the resources of the FHI and Duke to help them.”

An engaging professional development opportunity, ComSciCon-Triangle offers science communication lessons, career advice, and feedback.

Recent alumni from the English Department return to the third floor of the Allen building to share their experiences navigating the academic job market with current graduate students.
