Duke alumni are making important contributions in any field connected to global health, including medical practice, international development, policy and finance, technology and innovation, and academic research. DGHI works to celebrate the achievements of our alumni and to maintain strong connections between students and alumni working in the field.

1. Keep your contacts updated
   Make sure you’re signed up for our Worldview monthly newsletter and other news and updates. DGHI alumni should automatically receive these emails, but if we’re using your Duke student email address, that email unfortunately won’t last forever. Be sure Duke has a permanent email address so you continue to get all the news and invitations from us. You can get an alumni email address that lasts a lifetime. Read more details here. Then, update your email preferences with us using the Worldview link above. 
    

2. Meet us on LinkedIn
   We’re ramping up our presence on LinkedIn and are regularly sharing alumni news, career development tips and the latest from Duke and DGHI. Make sure you are following DGHI and list the institute in your education and employment profile. And make sure you’re signed up for the Duke Alumni in Global Health group, where you can share job opportunities, news or questions with hundreds of fellow Duke global health graduates.

   While you’re at it, be sure you’re following DGHI on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, Instagram and YouTube to stay up-to-date on news from the field and happenings around Trent Hall.
