Week 1 at Duke University was off to a memorable start!

Our students have just completed an exciting first week filled with hands-on learning, meaningful self-discovery and new friendships.

From diving into their academic courses to kicking off the True You workshop, they’ve been exploring fresh ideas and uncovering what truly motivates them. The Duke campus buzzes with energy as students challenge themselves and connect with peers from all over.

This week’s excursions gave students the chance to step outside the classroom, sparking inspiration and deepening bonds. It’s been incredible to see how quickly they’re growing in confidence, curiosity and collaboration.

With Week 2 coming up fast, there’s even more to look forward to: more engaging courses, deeper reflection and unforgettable experiences. The journey is just getting started, and we can’t wait to see where it leads!
