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

"My experience at Duke was incredibly rich and my experiences in the Religion Department were the highlight of my four years. I had the opportunity to work closely with several professors to assist in book projects, ongoing research and, finally, my own independent research in a senior honors thesis."

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

"Take advantage of the incredible resources of the Divinity School as well as the fantastic undergraduate professors. As about opportunities to do research assistant work and take advantage of community-based learning opportunities in the Durham area."
