Academic Advisors

Academic Advisors have been assigned! A few weeks ago, we sent you a survey to get your input on your interests to determine what advisor would best fit your needs. If you didn’t fill out the survey, or were still undecided, you have still been assigned to an advisor that will be willing to help you and can provide information to guide you through the program.

(You can find their contact information on your home page in Duke Hub, listed at the bottom right of the page)

Questions?

Feel free to reach out to Graduate Student Programs and Services (pratt-masters-studentservices@duke.edu) at any time. We are here to support you!

Have a great week!

This will be preceded by a week of Pratt orientation activities beginning Monday, August 10. All of our orientation activities will be available online.

Virtual Summer Workshop Series

Instructors from our Graduate Communications and Intercultural Programs Team (GCIP) and Duke University Libraries are partnering to offer an 8-workshop series throughout the summer, focusing on how to search and write literature reviews (i.e., systematic reviews) and how to use tools such as EndNote and Overleaf to help the process. Incoming students are welcome and encouraged to join! Workshops will be in mixed formats, including presentations, interviews, and moderated discussions. See attached flyer for details and registration links. Any questions about the series can be directed to Dr. Michelle M. Campbell at michelle.m.campbell@duke.edu
