Duke faculty members Denise Comer, Saskia Cornes, Shai Ginsburg, Candis Watts Smith and Norbert Wilson spent last year serving as fellows in the Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Leaders Network (ACC ALN), a program fostering academic leadership.
Through virtual and in-person sessions across ACC institutions, fellows gained insights into university operations and broader higher education challenges. The experience enhanced their leadership skills, expanded professional networks and deepened understanding of institutional strategy and collaboration.

We offer faculty and leadership development programs and partner with Duke schools, departments and other academic units to enhance faculty growth and success. A diverse faculty — defined broadly as representing a wide range of identities, lived experiences and perspectives — is a prerequisite for excellence and is essential to driving innovation within our scholarly community. 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.
