How has being a History graduate from Duke helped shape your professional success?

"Taught me to a) pursue what I genuinely enjoy, b) synthesize large amounts of info from different sources and viewpoints then form a perspective of my own and share that perspective in a coherent and compelling way, c) appreciate the importance of context and learning from prior events/experiences before taking action, d) develop and put into action general critical thinking skills."

What advice would you give students in History?

"Study something you enjoy, and pursue something you truly enjoy after graduation!"
