All Duke staff, faculty and retirees are invited to attend the annual Duke Appreciation Spring Reception on May 15 at Penn Pavilion to celebrate their contributions to Duke.

The event, which takes place 11 a.m. to noon, will include refreshments and a variety of instrumental music provided by Hipshack, a self-described “rock-punk-soul party band.”

"We are so excited to come together once again to celebrate our staff, faculty and retirees for their dedication, service and commitment to Duke,” said Antwan Lofton, Vice President for Duke Human Resources. “Each one makes a difference at Duke and are the heartbeat and lifeblood of this institution. We host the Duke Appreciation Spring Reception to say thank you."

Gifts will be provided to attendees while supplies last.
