Program director Dr. Jim Dobbins has been promoted to a new position as Associate Vice Provost and Director of the Duke Kunshan University (DKU) Program Office at Duke. Dobbins has served as our program director for the entire 10 year history of our program, and will remain in that position until the completion of his second term this July. He anticipates a smooth transition as a new director is named in the coming months. Our faculty leadership team is carefully evaluating candidates for that position and an announcement of the next director will be forthcoming.
