More than $45,000 in funding recently was awarded to Duke faculty and staff who submitted proposals earlier in the semester to the Duke Center for Civic Engagement (DCCE) to explore sites around the globe as potential DukeEngage programs in the coming years.

The DukeEngage program, housed in the DCCE, provides funding for Duke undergraduates who wish to pursue an immersive civic engagement experience anywhere in the world.
