The inaugural series will take place from September 2008 to January 2009, and each event will be taught by a leading entrepreneur or venture capitalist. Our next event takes place on November 13th, and subsequent events will take place on regular Thursdays thereafter. The series is designed to connect students from all across the Duke community, including the business, law, engineering, and life science fields. The goal of the series is to not only practically educate, but to increase the likelihood that exciting developments and ideas from the lab will find the key collaborators necessary to translate innovations into fully-fledged companies. The majority of events are front-loaded into September and October, for the express purpose of giving students, earlier, a stronger foundation to participate in a variety of activities in the Duke community, such as the Duke Startup Challenge, the Duke Entrepreneur, Markets and Management, EVCC, VCIC, Venture Fellows, and more. Each event will start with a social hour and refreshments, and then continue with the same after the speaker, to better facilitate interaction between constituencies throughout the school.

Why: AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL
On October 28 at 7pmat the Griffith Theater in the Bryan Center
There will be a screening of a documentary called America the Beautiful. This film examines the degree to which we, as a society, are preoccupied with physical attractiveness and narrow definitions of beauty, and we’re hoping that this showing will help launch some important discussion in the Duke community. This effort has come about from a loose affiliation of different departments and organizations on campus, including Baldwin Scholars, ESTEEM from Healthy Devils, Pi Beta Phi, as well as staff from CAPS, Student Health, and the Women’s Center.
