Duke Arts Fellows is an academic yearlong program connecting Duke undergraduates with Durham Public Schools educators and Duke faculty mentors.
Duke Arts Fellows seeks to promote arts education in schools with less robust arts programs. Fellows are paired one-to-one with Duke faculty mentors and matched with a Durham Public School (DPS) arts classroom. Paired fellows, mentors, and DPS educators will have expertise in the same artistic discipline.
Fellows are students of any major with a demonstrated passion for the arts who work to support the Durham community. They leverage their artistic expertise to produce fulfilling arts education programming and a capstone experience, like a production, performance, or gallery, for DPS students. Through immersion in the classroom, meetings with the faculty mentor, and production of the capstone, fellows are anticipated to dedicate approximately 20 hours per month and receive a monthly $350 non-comp payment.
Questions should be directed to Duke Arts Student Engagement Manager Anna Wallace (anna.wallace@duke.edu), who is supported by undergraduates Jeffrey Broms, Riley Campbell, and Thais Marsalis in the planning and launch of the program.
