ETHICS

The Purpose Project at Duke makes questions of character, purpose and meaning signature features of the Duke community and develops evidence-based program models for Duke and peer institutions across the country. The Project strives to facilitate diverse conversations, foster unlikely partnerships, and field experiments inside and outside the classroom that enable students - undergraduate, graduate, and professional- to pursue questions of moral purpose and a life well-lived as an integral part of their Duke experience. Our hope is that by helping students imagine their lives as more than a career we are guiding them to understand their work and their lives in the context of commitments to character, community, and the world. We also hope this cultivation of a set of commitments beyond themselves will make students happier, healthy and more successful in whatever they pursue.
