Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Community
Dedicated to Inclusive Excellence.
Working hand in hand with DEIC representatives from across Duke’s Pratt School of Engineering, Duke ECE offers many resources and opportunities to students from underrepresented groups—from dedicated student organizations to recruiting incentives and fellowships, and events and activities that celebrate the diversity of our entire community.
