Welcome to the Duke Class of 2028!

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.

Email invitations will be sent to incoming students (Duke email address) and their parents/guardians about 30 days before the event. If you are an incoming student or their parents/guardians but do not receive an invitation, please email regional@daa.duke.edu and mention the location of the party you would like to attend. This mailbox is monitored during office hours.
