President Vincent E. Price helps move belongings and greets First-Year Advisory Counselor (FAC) students during Move In Day on East Campus.

“Throughout our history, each iteration of Duke University has risen with purpose to meet the great challenges of its day and seeded the ground for the grander things to come.”
