Dear Duke Graduate Liberal Studies students and alums, and Duke faculty and staff colleagues and friends -- we are pleased that after our long COVID-induced hiatus, the GLS Holiday Party is back this year! We hope you will join us on December 2nd to renew our ties, make new friends, and otherwise celebrate the season, life, learning, and the connections and enrichment that our intellectual community provides. We will have indoor and outdoor spaces available; feel free to dress warmly (if it's actually cold by then) if you'd rather visit or eat outside, and bring a mask to wear when visiting indoors. We'll have some containers available if you would rather get a little food to take home to enjoy later. Check your email for details and to RSVP.
