What does it mean to live a life of significance? How is it defined? What is its choreography? The Duke Life of Significance series is invested in how lives given in service of others form the contours of a significant life. Through the lens of everyday leaders—who come from all sectors, ages, genders, and backgrounds—the Life of Significance series surveys lives whose meaning, success, and gravity is found in the support and service of others. Join us as we listen, learn, and foster practices that equip us to lead lives of significance.
