How has being a History graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?

"The training I received in the Duke History department prepared me for the reading, writing, research, and discussing I would be doing in graduate school and in my career as a history professor."

What advice would you give students in Duke's History programs? 

"Take advantage of opportunities to get to know your professors both as scholars and as people."
