How has being a Sociology graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?

"Being a sociology graduate from Duke has been immensely valuable for my career. The department has a great reputation. Sociology informs how I see the world and has given me the tools and the skills I needed to do my job!"

What advice would you give students in Duke's Sociology programs? 

"Take the time to get to know faculty - they are a wonderful resource. Make sure you develop both practical skills in quantitative and/or qualitative methods (these are very helpful for getting a job!) along with a strong theoretical grounding in the sociological tradition."
