DURHAM, N.C. -- In collaboration with Stanford University, and through generous gifts from David Rubenstein and Peter and Helen Bing, 21 Duke student-athletes joined 19 Stanford student-athletes to comprise the inaugural class of the Rubenstein-Bing Student-Athlete Civic Engagement (ACE) Program. Traveling to one of four international sites, student-athletes engaged in immersive, service-based activities this summer that assisted residents of underserved communities overseas.
“The first summer of ACE exceeded all of my expectations,” program director Emily Durham said. “I had the privilege to visit our four programs this summer, and I can attest to the fact that our ACE student-athletes truly embodied the values of community partnership and service.
