Duke Divinity School celebrated its 98th Baccalaureate Service on May 11 with a total of 180 Duke Divinity School students graduating and celebrated graduates with a Closing Convocation Service and two Graduate Cross Services (hybrid and residential).

Professor Patrick Smith among Duke faculty members honing skills with ACC peers through a year-long experience.

Professor Smith joins a group of more than 200 fellows whose work has informed scholarship and public understanding of complex ethical issues in health, health care, science, and technology.

Fellows from all ACC institutions will meet throughout the year to engage with peers across the ACC and discuss academic leadership and issues in higher education.

For Smith, the intellectual life should have a purpose or an end to it—and it is for the betterment of our communities, to really help people flourish as human beings, as image bearers of God.
