Final Week of Photos

During the days before Commencement, the cameras come out across West Campus. From in front of Duke Chapel to the middle of Chapel Drive, students are taking last photos together with friends before graduation and celebrations. With a temperate climate and sunny skies, the week made for perfect photos.
