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

"My Duke degree opens doors to this day. My time at Duke opened my mind to a diversity of perspectives and within the study of history that was critical for me. I came to Duke thinking that history was a set of facts, already written, and left The school understanding that perspectives on how to interpret and learn from history, let alone to critically assess what is even portrayed as fact was an essential part of the study of history. That’s a lesson I use daily as a manager and corporate leader."

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

"Lean in. There’s much to learn."
