DukeEngage administrators announced that it will accept 50 more students and add nine new programs for summer 2011.
The summer program, which provided funding for 375 students conducting civic engagement projects this past summer, will expand to 425 students next year. New projects include programs in Jodhpur, India; La Plata, Argentina and New York City. Three of the nine new programs are based in North Carolina.
“This is an exciting time for us at DukeEngage,” said DukeEngage Executive Director Eric Mlyn in a news release Friday. “We are simultaneously building new programs while working with our returning DukeEngage students who share with us their stories of challenges, successes and transformations.”
Group programs next summer will account for approximately 355 undergraduates, and about 70 students will conduct independent DukeEngage projects.
The DukeEngage program, which will be in its fourth summer next year, was endowed with a $30 million gift from the Duke Endowment and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2007.
Applications for group international programs are due by 12 p.m. Nov. 8. The deadline for group domestic programs is 12 p.m. Jan. 12, 2011.
