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

"It has greatly improved my ability to digest large amounts of information in books and articles and pick out the most important themes. It made me a much better writer. Both of these things has been really useful in business and consulting."

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

"Don't skip the readings skim them! Get good at skimming large reading assignments."
