In 2007 we launched Forever Duke Welcome Parties and saw huge success. In 2008 we expanded these parties and engaged cities both large and small, with 305 young alumni attending in 18 cities. Whether you are new to a city, or have been there for a while, we hope you will join us to celebrate Duke and build new relationships during this week of welcomes.

Welcome parties are hosted by your local club and are intended to celebrate the arrival of new alumni – young and old – to the city. All parties will take place between October 1 and October 11. Please check back to see the detailed schedule for 2009 and find the party in your city. For more information, email Kim Hanauer '02, director of young alumni and student programs, at kim@daa.duke.edu.
