In the News

Duke’s University Communications department produces new stories about faculty and also aggregates news stories about faculty that appear in local, national or international media such as the New York Times. Scholars@Duke automatically pulls these stories into the In the News section of a faculty profile.

A maximum of five news items are loaded per week. You can refresh this section to load the most recent news articles. If a faculty member has more than five news stories in one week, then the five most recent news items will be loaded.

You can manually add links to news stories that were not loaded automatically from University Communications.
