FREE FOOD, free SHIRT, free FUN – All while making a difference in someone’s FUTURE.

These days, students make choices by the end of 8th grade that can determine their future.  Many children, especially those from families without college backgrounds, don’t elect college track courses.  And once in high school, it’s very hard to switch to the college-bound group.

On Friday, October 16, we are bringing over 300 such 8th graders to Duke’s campus.  Now we need YOU to come show them the campus from a college student’s point of view.  You don’t need to know Duke history or statistics; all you need is an inside perspective on college life.   Duke student guides will join small teams of middle schoolers accompanied by a Duke staff and a teacher.   Guides are asked to arrive at Reynolds Theater no later than 9:30am on October 16, 2009.  Volunteers can leave as early as 11:30am, or stay for a free lunch.
