What Duke has meant to you: “Duke has been the greatest source for not only my academic education, but also my moral, social and emotional education. Duke has been a journey with the most extreme highs and lows I have ever experienced, which has shaped me into the person I am proud to be today.”
While at Duke, Sophie Haet examined disability from multiple perspectives and cultures.
Commencement HomepageAs a member of the Bass Connections project on Global Alliance on Disability and Health Innovation (GANDHI), Sophie worked to determine the system of services and support needed for adults newly living with disability to achieve their greatest quality of life.
“I believe working on real-world problems are important components of a well-rounded education and necessary for academic and personal growth and development. Because of this research experience, I feel more prepared for my entrance into the workforce next fall,” said Sophie.
After graduating, Sophie looks forward to traveling across Europe and Costa Rica with friends. Afterwards, she plans to move to Cincinnati where she will begin work as a financial analyst at Proctor and Gamble in September.
