Everysummer East Campus becomes home for hundreds of middle andhigh school students participating in non-credit academicenrichment programs. The Lilly Library, a part of the Perkins LibrarySystem, is located on East Campus and specializes in art, dance, filmand video, and philosophy.“I loved it! The campuswas beautiful, and I wassurrounded by greatpeople! The labs gaveinsight to people thatwanted to hold STEMrelated jobs.”2018 Accelerated STEMAcademy ParticipantCampus DriveCampus Drive connects East and West Campus. Along Campus Driveare several administrative buildings as well as the Nasher Museumof Art, the Freeman Center for Jewish Life, and the new RubensteinArts Center (The Ruby).You will only be allowed to East Campus and Campus Drive withthe presence of Duke Summer Session staff member.Duke University MapAn interactive map is available at maps.duke.edu.

Participantswill not be allowed to tour Duke University’s campus without thepresence of a Duke Summer Session staff member.We are proudly committed to the development of globalcitizens. For this reason, we strive to have an equal amountof U.S. and international students in our programs.Historically, we have found that the composition of each ofour programs varies. Summer College has a higherpercentage of international students than the others, withthe Accelerated STEM Academy having the lowest. WhileSummer Academy’s second term typically has an equalratio of U.S. to international students, we anticipate thatfew international students will enroll in the first term dueto the conflict with international school calendars.5
