Meet the QuadEx Faculty Fellows
Through their engagement with quad communities, fellows will support undergraduate intellectual exploration outside of the classroom
Seven faculty members have been chosen to serve as Duke鈥檚 first QuadEx Faculty Fellows, responsible for fostering connections between Duke鈥檚 academic mission and undergraduate students鈥 social and residential lives.
Each QuadEx Faculty Fellow will be closely associated with (but will not reside in) one of Duke鈥檚 seven quad communities. They will work in partnership with students to enhance the intellectual life of their quads and to support undergraduate students鈥 intellectual growth beyond the classroom.
The fellows were selected from a field of more than 70 regular-rank faculty members who were nominated for the positions.
鈥淭his is an exciting new addition to our undergraduate experience, and one that I expect will be rewarding for students and faculty members alike,鈥 said Provost Sally Kornbluth. 鈥淓ach of the fellows has shown extraordinary dedication to undergraduate students, and I look forward to seeing the creative approaches they will introduce to further connect living and learning at Duke.鈥
