The North Carolina Chapter of the Fulbright Association presents: A Tour of Duke University Gardens and Chapel
The North Carolina Chapter of the Fulbright Association is offering a group tour of the Sarah P. Duke Gardens, self-guided tour of the chapel, and lunch at the new Brodhead Center. This event is for all current Fulbright faculty and students as well as Fulbright Alumni. The 55-acre public gardens are referred to as the “Crown Jewel” of Duke University and are recognized world-wide as an outstanding example of contemporary design and botanical diversity, not to mention sheer beauty. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience an educational and life-enriching program at Duke University. We anticipate this being a popular event, so please RSVP quickly.
