Dear students,
You've made it! Congratulations on reaching the end of the school year. We're so proud of your hard work and continued persistence through a demanding year.
As you prepare for the summer, take some time to celebrate all that you've accomplished. We've watched this community grow and support one another, and we hope the next few months are an opportunity to recharge and recenter.
To our graduating seniors, we have more to say, but we'll save it for when we celebrate together at Commencement next week.
For our rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors, we are already looking forward to seeing you on campus in the fall! But we get it if you need a break from school for a bit.
Don't be strangers — if there's anything we can do to help, reach out. We're always here to support you, even during summer break.
Until we meet again, take care!
Go Duke,
Mary Pat McMahon, Vice Provost of Student Affairs
Candis Watts Smith, Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education
