About the Duke Conversations Society
The Duke Conversations Society arose in the vacuum of intellectual opportunities available at Duke in the summer of 2006. While opportunities to attend sporting events, parties, and other social activities are perennially available, genuine opportunities to engage with others, to look deeply and critically at oneself, and to have meaningful interactions with other people, especially adults and mentors, are sorely lacking.
To this end, we are a group of delightful raconteurs who enjoy nothing better than a fine meal and each other's company. For two hours each week, members of the society are free to express their curiosities, their passions, their hopes, and their fears, while learning from people who bring new ideas and fresh perspectives to the table.
The Society runs through the administration of its membership. Held to only twenty, spots in the society are precious, and must be earned, cultivated and maintained. Members of the society are expected to contribute to its success.
If you are interested in becoming a member of the society, please contact us and let us know!
