Welcome to the website for The Bouchet Society at Duke University.

The Duke University Bouchet Society primarily supports underrepresented minority graduate students in the pursuit of scholarly excellence in the Natural Sciences, Engineering, and Mathematics. It seeks to:

1. Provide a forum for technological and scientific presentations and discussions;
2. Enable networking with students, faculty, alumni and administrators at Duke and neighboring universities as well as across the country;
3. Address ways of promoting diversity and inclusion in the scientific community;
4. Provide information on resources for career development in education and research;
5. Assist in the recruitment of exceptional graduate students to Duke University.

The Bouchet Society hopes to further strengthen the efforts of underrepresented minority graduate students in achieving their career goals in science research and education, and to encourage values that will promote diversity and inclusion in the sciences in honor of its namesake Dr. Edward Alexander Bouchet. The Duke University Bouchet Society meets monthly and email reminders are sent out before each meeting.
