Falling under the responsibility of the committee for Academic Affairs, Blue Devil Bridges is a one-on-one mentorship program that pairs undergraduate students with Duke alumni based on academics and professional interests.

[T]hanks to BDB I get to experience the wonders of the latter years of college all over again, without the stress of midterms and finals!  It has been a unique pleasure and privilege to be [Ava's] advisor as she completes the ‘on campus’ portion of her Forever Duke journey...

Blue Devil Bridges has facilitated one of the most meaningful mentorships in my time at Duke. The BDB algorithm matched me with Gregg Tenser, and throughout our calls, meetups, and check-ins, I’ve been inspired to be a strong part of that community even after graduation. Because of Blue Devil Bridges, I’ve never been so excited to be a Duke student or so proud to call myself a lifelong Blue Devil. Go Duke!!!
