PLACE-BASED SESSION
If there are any updates, students will be notified via their Duke email address.
- The NSOE Graduation site has info about alumni benefits, the student exit evaluation, and other graduation details.
- Student instructions for the Nicholas School ceremony can be found here.
- Parking: For Thursday and Friday, your best bet will be the Bryan Center Parking Garage (map attached), but as it is a busy week, it cannot be guaranteed. The Circuit Lot (at the corner of LaSalle and Circuit)may be open for guests, and would be worth a look before you head over to Bryan Center. It’s right across the street from Grainger Hall. Please allow yourself plenty of time each morning to park and walk to Grainger Hall to be on time for our sessions. General Duke parking information during Commencement week can be found here.
- NSOE Recognition Ceremony
- Miscellaneous:
- Bring your Duke ID card
- Pack your DEL coffee mug and water bottle.
- Thursday afternoon off-site will be casual; please feel free to bring a change of clothes with you to campus on Thursday morning.
- While you are busy in sessions on Thursday and Friday, have your family visit the Duke Gardens, Brightleaf Square for shopping, or the Eno River for a few of Durham’s nature trails.
