In doing so, they will strengthen DUL's engagement with local history and with other cultural heritage organizations. The Coordinator will work closely with DUL colleagues, the Duke Office of Durham and Community Affairs, Duke Arts, and other campus partners to support and amplify campus-wide initiatives.
