This area involves developing and implementing a comprehensive plan for connecting with and being a resource for 1) underrepresented high school students visiting Duke on fieldtrips, during Blue Devil Days, or on recruitment weekends; 2) incoming freshmen, especially during Orientation and their first weeks of school; 3) parents of pre-frosh and matriculated students.  This area can include, but is not limited to event planning, tabling, and developing print and web materials.
