How has being a History graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?
"The writing and analytical skills have been very useful as an attorney. Personally, I appreciate the knowledge gained from my studies, whether helping me understand current events, or adding context when I'm traveling."
What advice would you give students in Duke's History programs?
"Although a History degree isn't directly training you for a particular type of job, the skills needed to obtain the degree are likely useful in just about any job, and add so much to life in general."
