| Two female graduates in black caps and gowns pose with the Duke Blue Devil mascot on a stadium running track during commencement exercises. The mascot wears a custom blue mortarboard that reads "OUTTA HERE". According to the text on the reverse, Duke University boasts an 88% graduation rate for its undergraduate student body and 98% for its student athletes. Graduates enjoy a 90% to 94% acceptance rate to leading graduate and professional schools. It rephrases the student adage “we work hard, we play hard” to “we work hard, and we work harder.” |
