All Duke faculty are invited to submit a Letter of Intent to propose a new Duke Immerse. Successful proposals are clearly articulated and build on the faculty team’s expertise; these may include proposals that are fully disciplinary or interdisciplinary, incorporate Service-Learning or complement an existing Bass Connections project or DukeEngage program. Proposals that diversify existing Duke Immerse opportunities and reflect the expertise of Duke faculty receive priority.

Deadlines:

• • • New Fall 2023 Programs – October 15, 2022
    • New Spring 2024 Programs – March 15, 2023

To propose a new Duke Immerse opportunity, send a Letter of Interest to immerse@duke.edu. Include in the letter a brief description of:

• • • Overall concept and theme
    • Who will be involved (instructors, staff)
    • The four courses, title, and brief description (may include new and existing courses)
    • Target student audience (from which majors, minors, and certificate programs)
    • Field-based experience or travel
    • Collaboration with community partner(s), if applicable

Duke Immerse is a semester-long program for undergraduates conceived of by Duke faculty. Individual themes are often research-intensive and should include off-campus experiences to enhance the curriculum.

Themes involving travel are expected to follow related university policies and meet with the Duke Immerse Director to develop a risk management plan prior to the program offering. The proposal process is iterative; after the letter of interest is reviewed and approved, the faculty work with the Duke Immerse Director to articulate and develop the program details and budget.
