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

"My Duke experience has shaped me significantly. My experience in my senior year theses classes, both in political science and history, are what encouraged me to pursue a military career. It has allowed me to travel the world, study and brief interesting things."

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

"Find your passion and pursue it. Don’t do what you think you have to do just because of that. Life will take you on a more interesting path if you are open to it."
