Mailing Lists
Graduate students at Duke are welcome participants in a number of newsgroups, bulletin boards, and mailing lists. Mailing lists seem to be the most active and preferred group communication tool. Below are a few lists to which graduate students often subscribe.
NOTE: Clicking on any of the list names above will automatically pull up either a subscription site or an e-mail message preaddressed for a subscription request. In the body of your subscription request, just type “Subscribe listname” (no quotation marks and substituting the name of the list as it appears in the subheadings above.) No other words, characters, or signature blocks should be included in your message.

Career Center
The Career Center’s three e-mail lists for graduate students may help you stay on top of the latest career news and information for students in your disciplinary division. You may subscribe to one or more of the mailing lists we manage. Career Center counselors post information about job opportunities, workshops, and other events on career-specific topics and fields.

eduke
Duke’s Office of News and Information sponsors three lists. Their daily news digest (eDuke daily) summarizes local news relevant to the Duke community. Another daily list (eDuke media clips) picks up on mentions of Duke faculty and students in the national media. Their third list (eDuke monthly) compiles highlights from the daily news and media clips on a monthly basis. To subscribe to any or all of these lists visit.

Graduate students with children use this list to plan family outings, to request recommendations for child care services, and to suggest and announce events sponsored by the Graduate and Professional Parents (GAPP) student group.
