Locked in and ready for March Madness! 

The Sexual Misconduct Climate Survey is now open. Your insights will help us better understand and improve the campus climate at Duke. Responses are anonymous and confidential. You can use this link to access the survey and see FAQs. As you work through the survey if you need support resources, you can find those here. 

To keep you informed of ongoing construction that may impact your daily routes, please note:

Baldwin Quad: Work is underway in phases, including storm drain installation, electrical wiring, lighting, granite curbs, hardscaping, irrigation, and landscaping. Some roadway sections in the Quad are closed.

Broad Street Wall: Crews are grading, constructing the wall, and adding landscaping. A pedestrian detour is in place next to the field hockey stadium. Work on the Broad Street Wall project is expected to be completed by May, with the closed segment of the trail expected to reopen in April. 

Additionally, as part of ongoing campus improvements, some overgrown magnolia trees on East Campus will be removed. Learn more about this effort and future landscaping plans in Duke Today.
