Letter from the President

Since 1954, Duke University Union has worked to provide Duke University Union with incredible opportunities for student life engagement. As we enter our 69th year as DUU, we continue to strive to achieve this vary same mission - and across our many committees and teams, we continue to innovate how we create diverse, community-based and creative programming and media that brings the Duke community together. This year, as we come out of years of pandemic isolation, we are more excited than ever to be forming community on campus - and can't wait to see you there!
