Welcome Home, Fall 2025 Students!
Your graduate school journey at Duke is about to begin! If you are arriving early, we invite you to take part in our optional Pre-Orientation activities – an opportunity to connect, unwind, and ease into this exciting new chapter.
During Pre-Orientation, you can explore the scenic Al Buehler Trailer, join a campus-wide scavenger hunt, and meet your new friends over a scoop of ice-cream, a slice of pizza, or a refreshing glass of sweet tea – Southern Hospitality at its finest!
These moments are more than just fun activities; they’re the first steps in building friendships, finding mentors, and becoming a part of a supportive, welcoming community.
Stay tuned for more details – event updates will be shared between July 15 and August 5
