Charged with addressing equity gaps in undergraduate educational outcomes, the Boyer 2030 Commission issued a new blueprint for advancing equity and student success, and cited Duke as an example to be followed among research universities in the United States.
Duke is one of three research universities recognized in the Commission’s latest report as having successfully incorporated service-learning into undergraduate education.
Duke Service-Learning is a signature program of Trinity College of Arts & Sciences. It provides service-learning and community-engaged courses that deepen student learning and provide opportunities to translate academic curriculum into lived experiences.
Originally created in 1998, the Boyer Commission’s latest charge addresses the changing world of American higher education and the needs of students.
“Undergirding each of our recommendations is the firm belief that excellence and equity are inextricably linked for our students and our institutions, and each recommendation is informed by the significant advances we’ve made in technology and in understanding effective teaching methods since the original Boyer Commission issued its report,” said Barbara Snyder, co-chair of the Boyer 2030 Commission and President of the Association of American Universities.
