The Pratt Peers Student Support Network is a group of students who have volunteered their time to support the graduate and professional student community at the Pratt School of Engineering as they navigate their journey at Duke. They encourage students to prioritize their health and well-being while demonstrating what it is to be a caring and supportive community member.
Pratt Peers, in partnership with the Student Engagement & Support team, plan community-wide events and activities and are available to connect individually with students who are seeking mentorship or simply a listening ear. They are trained in active listening skills, intervention techniques, and possessing a thorough understanding of Duke resources.
