Fulbright recipients announced
Twenty-two Duke University graduates and graduate students have been awarded J. William Fulbright Scholarships to study abroad for one year and otherwise benefit from living in a foreign culture.
The Fulbright program, founded in 1946, is the U.S. government's premier scholarship program. It was created by Congress shortly after World War II to foster understanding among nations through educational and cultural exchanges.

Employees allowed to donate vacation time
Duke is introducing a temporary program that allows its employees to donate accumulated vacation or paid time off to members of the community who provide assistance to victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Employees who volunteer for organized disaster relief efforts locally, or on the Gulf Coast, or who support immediate family members affected by the hurricane can ask to be reimbursed from this pool for time they took off.
