The mission of DukeLIFE is to enhance the academic experiences of undergraduates from first-generation and lower-income backgrounds.
Our programming and initiatives provide students with holistic support to promote their full participation in the university’s intellectual communities. The office also coordinates resources with campus partners. As a result of our work, LIFE students are well-positioned to
- Build meaningful relationships with faculty
- Successfully navigate Duke’s intellectual and social networks
- Use campus resources that support their journeys
