Gradlife Festival

Coming this Spring... GRADLIFE FESTIVAL!!! This is the early bird-announcement of this festival comprised of two parts:

1. Gradlife Documentary Contest: Teams of grad/professional students will make short movies about their Duke experiences, which will be screened for the entire university community, and compete for a $500 cash prize and other prizes. If you get to make a christmas wish-list put a camcorder on there too, for you could be that lucky group to win!
2. Shadow-a-grad/professional-student-day: Have you always wanted to be a role model? Do you want to mentor and show undergrads what your life is like? We will be matching undergrads interested in graduate/professional school with students in related fields, to shadow them for a couple of hours, a day, a semester - whatever works between the matched pair. Keep an eye out for emails with detailed announcements early in the Spring semester! If you would like to get involved with helping organize this event or have any questions send an email to the email address listed below.
