The Office of Faculty Affairs supports several voluntary mentorship and advising programs for faculty at DKU.

  1. DUKE CONNECTIONS: Connects junior faculty at DKU to experienced faculty at Duke University, who have expertise in their  field of scholarship. Duke mentors can offer guidance and feedback to mentees about their scholarship and foster networking opportunities. If you are interested in being connected to a mentor at Duke in your field, contact Katherine Robertson: kr204@duke.edu
