Graduating graduate and professional school students will get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to climb to the top of Duke Chapel.

Forever Duke Commencement Kick-off Cocktail Party
8:00 - 10:00 p.m.
We started a new tradition in 2009 of kicking off Commencement Week earlier and it was a huge success. SO we will continue the new tradition this year, with a party on Wednesday evening in the Hall of Honor/Hall of Fame/Scharf Hall (Cameron). Themed drinks and wine will be available, along with some fabulous desserts. This will be the perfect time to unwind with your friends before the family arrives! And most importantly, the Duke Alumni Association's gift to the Class of 2010 will be distributed. We highly suggest you arrive on time to make sure you get yours!
All graduating undergraduate, graduate school, and professional school students and their guests are invited to this party! No registration is necessary, but do be sure to bring your Duke Card and ID.
