Many Duke employees, like Matt Lardie in the Duke University School of Nursing, enjoy the flexibility of a hybrid schedule. At home, he surrounds himself with over 100 plants, and his passion ~grew~ to his campus office, which now features about 30 plants. "It really is easier than you think," he says. "And it can change the atmosphere of a whole room." Looking for a career where you can bring your whole self – interests, hobbies, and all? #ChooseDuke

On Monday morning, the Duke community gathered to honor the service of all U.S. military veterans during the annual Veterans Day ceremony in Duke University Chapel. Duke is home to 2,304 staff and faculty who have served in the military and roughly 880 students with military affiliations. The public event featured guest speaker John Dailey, Duke Chief of Police and Associate Vice President for Public Safety, who served as a captain in the United States Army for six years. The ceremony included music from the John Brown Ensemble and remarks from Duke University President Vincent E. Price, Vice President for Duke Human Resources Antwan Lofton, and Duke University Chapel Dean and Professor of Homiletics and African and African American Studies Luke A. Powery. The event spoke to the pivotal role veterans have played in Duke history, from inspiring the creation of the Duke Physician Assistant program to enriching the institution through continued study and service. “Just as those veterans who worked and studied at Duke have played such a critical role in our past, our current community of veterans have an extremely important role shaping our future,” said Duke University President Vincent E. Price. The keynote speaker at the ceremony, Duke University Police Chief John Dailey, shared stories from his service. Dailey spoke of how the major undertakings accomplished by the military are all reliant on individual members coming together as a team. “Veterans out there all have similar stories,” Dailey said. “They attended to the wounded, made sure communication equipment worked, trained teams, maintained jets, maintained helicopters and flew them, served on ships, developed plans, patrolled, participated in missions around the world. While today, we honored the veteran, the veteran remembers the team around them. Brothers and sisters, depending on each other and interconnected, various teams supporting their part of the overall mission.” https://lnkd.in/e2YUqWF5

While in the small island village in Ireland where her family traces its lineage, Duke Health nurse Joan Oliver reflected on how her journey at Duke led her to that poignant moment in May 2024. Joan was there to lay her mother, Peggy McIntyre, to rest, after years of caring for her. This journey was made possible by the flexibility of her remote work schedule at Duke and the grounding she received from her education at Duke Divinity School. “Duke, to me, provides everything that you need to be successful in your life,” Oliver said. “You just have to figure out what you want and then use the resources to get to where you need to be.” At Duke, we believe in supporting our employees both professionally and personally.

Did you know that Duke employees have the unique opportunity to audit many Duke University courses? This opportunity fosters continuous learning and growth. Meet Morgan deBlecourt, a writer with Duke Health Marketing & Communications, who is passionate about groundbreaking treatments and compassionate care. To deepen her understanding how this fits into the broader health care system, she spent Thursday afternoons last fall in a class at the Duke University Sanford School of Public Policy with undergraduates, auditing Public Policy 165: Introduction to the United States Health Care System. “I wanted to know more about how everything works,” said deBlecourt, who enrolled as an auditor. “My job is to encourage people to seek quality health care, so what can I learn about health policy and health insurance and social determinates of health that can help me do that?” Join our team and take advantage of the unique educational benefits Duke offers.

At Duke, benefits go far beyond insurance and retirement! At least 7,500 Duke employees, along with their friends and family, joined the annual Duke Football Employee Kickoff Celebration, where they enjoyed free tickets, dinner, and pre-game festivities on the practice field. Antwan Lofton, Vice President of Duke Human Resources, said events like the Oct. 26 kickoff are an important part of celebrating the people who work at Duke. “We’re always ecstatic when we have opportunities to do two things,” Lofton said. “One, come together as a Duke community and enjoy one of the one of the things that Duke is known for – athletics. But it also is a chance for us to merge worlds, bring our families to meet and greet a lot of the people that we spend more time with than we do our own families.” At Duke, being part of the team means joining a supportive community.
