The ongoing national changes have impacted our entire university community and will continue to develop for the foreseeable future.
In this discussion, participants will hear from colleagues and leaders as they discuss how to maintain the academic excellence that defines our education, research, and clinical care missions that impact local, regional, national and international engagement.
Registration is required. Attendance is limited to faculty only.

We work to recruit and retain outstanding faculty and strive to promote a welcoming academic culture and community that lives up to the Duke values of respect, trust, inclusion, discovery and excellence.
