What’s Next for 2019 English Graduates?

A little over a month ago, thirty plus Duke English majors graced the stage of Reynolds Theater as part of the 2019 Duke University Department of English Graduation Ceremony the last phase before each of them takes the next step in their lives.  Five members of the 2019 graduating class, took a few moments as they finished exams, wrote their last papers as undergraduates, prepared for graduation and life after Duke as an undergrad to share what’s next for these Duke English alums.  Two of the participants will be begining careers and the other three participants shared that they will be attending graduate school.

Virginia Black has accepted an account coordinator position with Brodeur Partners a strategic communications company headquartered in Boston, MA.  Brodeur Partners has four U.S. offices:  Boston, MA, New York, NY, Washington, D.C. and Phoenix, AZ, and operates globally in 33 countries.

Glenn Huang, who severed as an English Department Ambassador and was the student speaker at the 2019 English Department Graduation Ceremony, will begin his professional career with Teach for America as a Corps Member/Elementary School Teacher.

Madison Laton will be continuing her education by pursuing her Juris Doctor degree at Georgetown Law School.

Robin Wang will be attending the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts to pursuing a Masters in Fine Arts.

Hannah Kelly will be pursuing a Masters of Divinity at Candler School of Theology at Emory University.

These five and the remaining graduating English majors and minors will now take the knowledge obtained during their undergraduate years at Duke University and share it with the rest of the world as they become successful professionals and wonderful members of society.

Congratulations to the 2019 Class and we look forward to all of the great things that you have in store to share with the world!
