The program provides students with Duke course credit for their work.“The DKU Global Learning Semester is a transformative educational experience for undergraduate students from around the world,” said Mary Brown Bullock, DKU’s executive vice chancellor, in the release. “We are incredibly grateful for both the gift and the donor’s vision, and the role both will play in bringing outstanding students to DKU.”Using the donation, Duke TIP—a program that identifies academically gifted students—will expand its reach and educational services to include high school students in China. The gift is part of the Duke Forward fundraising campaign—which has a goal of raising $3.25 billion.
