Welcome to the Duke Class of 2027!

In cities around the world, the next class of Duke students is preparing to start their journey at Duke. What better way to celebrate their rite of passage than with a send-off from their local Duke family? Taking place during the summer, Send-Off Parties are the perfect opportunity for incoming students and their parents to meet classmates, other parents, current students and alumni from their area and get an insider's take on Duke.
