Happy Fourth of July! 🎇

As America commemorates its 250th anniversary, we’re reflecting on the ideas, stories, and documents that helped shape the nation’s history.

This fall, Duke Arts invites you to experience a rare print of the Declaration of Independence in Durham. These special exhibitions offer a unique opportunity to see one of the country’s most influential documents and learn how it was shared, displayed, and understood during the early years of the United States.

Presented as part of “We the People: A Duke & Durham Initiative,” and courtesy of the David M. Rubenstein Americana Collection, this exhibition encourages visitors to explore the enduring impact of the Declaration and engage with the nation’s evolving story.

For National Mascot Day, we are celebrating Nana Osaki. Her life as the Blue Devil, along with her research has broadened her view of communication. She’s interested not just in what people say, but also in how they say it and how meaning is conveyed beyond words. 😈

Solutions to today’s climate challenges start with community. 🌍

At the SALA-Duke Summit on Climate and Sustainability, leaders, researchers, and advocates came together to explore pathways toward cleaner air, safer water, and stronger communities.

The summit opened with a fireside chat featuring Michael S. Regan, former U.S. EPA Administrator, and Toddi Steelman, Duke’s vice president and vice provost for climate and sustainability.

“People are looking for an opportunity to be their best selves," said Regan.
