Duke Medicine Student-Faculty Show "Duke Avengers: Civil Ward"

On March 9, the Duke University School of Medicine will be holding its annual Student-Faculty Show “Duke’s Avengers: Civil Ward.” The entirely student-run show offers a comedic view of the medical student experience at Duke.

We invite you to attend the show, which will start at 5 p.m. in Duke’s Page Auditorium. The proceeds from this annual event benefit a local charity, the Durham Striders Youth Association, which provides training in track & field for local children (ages 6-18) of all backgrounds, with a particular focus on disadvantaged and minority students. The program not only enables children to develop their individual athletic potential but also to learn about discipline, leadership, sportsmanship, responsibility and character. Combining educational programming with athletic training, the Striders program addresses important issues such as drug awareness and education, teenage sexuality, ethnic diversity, child self-protection skills, career and vocational development.
