Mission & Purpose

We exist to sustain the exchange of knowledge, experience, and perspective between students and alumni.

Our Mission

East West Legacy Partners brings students and alumni into continuing conversation around Duke University, creating opportunities to learn from one another across generations.

That exchange does not end at graduation. The knowledge and perspective gained along the way can help students navigate new questions, see possibilities, and reach further.

We make room for it through thoughtful lectures, gatherings, and conversations. Students bring fresh questions; those further along bring experience. Each has something to offer the other.
