A student-led mentorship program for all current masters and Ph.D. students. We pair older graduate students with incoming or younger graduate students in ECE. Throughout the semester we host a variety of events for the group. We will monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and plan events accordingly.
Meet the 2020-2021 captains! The captains oversee the mentorship program: they pair mentees with mentors, help plan events, and are a point of contact for all students in the program:

Bull Buddies
We are excited to announce a new aspect of Ph.D. recruitment in the ECE department called Bull Buddies. Starting in 2021, this program pairs invited prospective Ph.D. students with current Ph.D. students at Duke. The purpose of this program is to give interviewing Ph.D. students a student contact within the department to answer any questions they may have about Duke, ECE, and the Durham area. If you were an invited Ph.D. student and do not know who your Bull Buddie is, please email easeatduke@gmail.com
DEI-GSA (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Graduate Student Application Workshop)
The first annual DEI-GSA workshop paired potential graduate student applicants with current Masters and Ph.D. students. Mentees can reach out to their mentors for advice throughout the graduate student application, get advice on resume/CV, feedback on essays, and answer any question about Duke ECE.
