Visible Thinking



In April, Duke celebrates the achievements of Duke undergraduates in research and original scholarship in the humanities, the natural sciences and engineering, and the social sciences. The contributions of students to their respective disciplines are manifested in VISIBLE THINKING, a presentation of undergraduate research for the entire university community. Students who have received research fellowships during the summer and academic year and candidates for departmental Graduation with Distinction are among the participants.

"Undergraduates at a research university are engaged with faculty and with other students at the frontiers of knowledge and understanding. Looking together at pressing problems from multiple perspectives, they develop improvements to the quality of life in their communities, their nations, and their world."

George L. McLendon
Dean of the faculty of Arts & Sciences
