Student Profiles: The Class of 2023

The Class of 2023 arrived on campus in 2019 and a semester later was sent into a different kind of academic experience as the COVID-19 pandemic pushed the university into remote learning.

Four years later, the undergraduates and graduate and professional students who will graduate from Duke on May 14 have defined themselves not by their pandemic experience, but by their accomplishments in the face of that experience.

Below we present a collection of stories from across the university that showcases the impressive achievements of the students in research, learning at service, here at Duke and across the country and the world.
