The last year of Duke life, through the eyes of the community

As the year draws to a close, we’ve asked members of the Duke community to send in their photos and videos from a year like no other in Duke’s history. 

Take a look at your classmates, professors and friends as they navigated the last year. We hope that this compilation shows you the diversity of experience that Blue Devils had, and at the same time the common elements we share. Regardless of where we were, we were all part of life at Duke. 

Life in and Duke and Durham
