Gautam Iyer
Class of 2023
Major: Public Policy
Favorite thing about dPS: Two things – first, the fact that dPS exists. A lot of other service orgs exist on campus, but dPS is the only one that sits at the middle and generally works to promote service as an idea and a culture at Duke. It makes for a lot of fun and meaningful thinking about how we can engage with Durham and also allows us to partner with many other orgs. Second, I really love the people in dPS. It’s been great in my >2 years at dPS getting to know similarly minded people and I appreciate our growing community.
