Karsh Student Advisory Board

The Karsh Student Advisory Board works with the Karsh Office of Undergraduate Financial Support to identify financial aid concerns across campus and develop strategic, sustainable solutions. Student Ambassadors at KSAB have a keen interest in understanding financial aid and despelling common myths. KSAB connects students and the Office of Financial Aid, reduces financial barriers for Duke students, and supports Duke’s commitment to equity. 


Logistics and Attendance: KSAB will meet monthly with Director Miranda McCall to provide counsel. Full engagement and attendance is expected at all meetings. Up-to two unexcused absences can lead to disciplinary action. 

Leads and Members:

  • DSG Lead: Responsible for maintaining internal and external communications, attendance, and smooth operations at KSAB. 
  • Newsletter Lead: Responsible for curating monthly newsletters with updates from FinAid and emailing the newsletter to the student body.   
  • Social Lead: Responsible for maintaining engagement and building community within the KSAB. 
  • Student Ambassadors (5 – 10): Responsible for  identifying financial aid concerns across campus and developing strategic, sustainable solutions. (Note that all leads are also Student Ambassadors.)

Recruitment: Internal recruitment process across DSG. Members can express their interest to the Chief of Staff. Open to other students if needed. If more than 12 members are interested, we will implement an application process. Recruitment will begin on October 19th and end on October 25th at 11:59pm.
