At Duke Summer Academy,
we believe that while learning, students can change the world. Please
share the message below with your students to invite them to have the
experience of a lifetime:
We have two exciting competitions you can be involved in this summer at Duke!
Spend your summer at Duke’s Global Giver Academy
and become a bona fide philanthropist. You will have the opportunity
not only to learn the ins and outs of philanthropy by earning community
service hours at local charities, but also the chance to engage in
advocacy firsthand. As an acting “board member” of a local charity, you
will make a case of for your favorite organization and have the
opportunity to benefit it in a huge way. The most compelling team will
win $500 for their charity, receive a special certificate of
achievement, and, most importantly, know that they made a real
difference for the local community.
Enroll in Global Entrepreneur Academy
and gain critical business, marketing, and strategy skills to develop
real startup ventures. Students will have the chance to pitch their own
ideas at the conclusion of the Academy and win awards for the best new
startups.
First Prize: $250
Second Prize: $150
Third Prize: $100
Along with the winning prize money to help advance your entrepreneurial
career, you will earn a certificate of achievement demonstrating that
your team’s creativity and critical thinking produced a top startup
pitch!
