Anthony James is an Early Literacy Program candidate as part of the
innovative Changing the Face of Teaching initiative. Anthony works
as a first-grade teaching assistant at Memminger Elementary in North
Charleston, S.C., during the week, and travels home to spend time
with his wife and son on weekends. Despite the travel and time away
from family, Anthony says it’s worth it for his students and the impact
he has on their lives.
Anthony says, “Most of my students don’t have a male role model – I
am their role model. And I show them every day, if I can do it, they can
do it too.”

Halley Black’s curiosity about how a product comes to market led her to
choose a concentration in global logistics, in which she hopes to become
a “travel agent for cargo.” Halley is a member of the Schottland Scholars
program in the School of Business which takes 10 or so of the most
talented and enthusiastic students and provides a customized experience
their senior year in a variety of business industries and environments.
On a recent Schottland Scholars trip to Rochester, N.Y., Halley says the
highlight was getting the insider’s tour of the distribution center of one of
the most successful supermarket chains in the Northeast by CEO Danny
Wegman. “The Schottland Scholars program,” says Halley, “has given me
the opportunity of a lifetime.”

Although no one in her family attended college, Ashley Haupt says she was
destined to be a nurse. From a young age, Ashley was fascinated by the
human body and wanted to contribute to the well-being of others. When
she shared her aspirations with health and human performance professor
Deborah Miller, Miller challenged her to prove herself and their relationship
grew. Ashley says professors like Miller have been inspiring mentors.
The physical education major chose a less traditional path to nursing, but
Ashley knows it will make her a more compassionate nurse - and Duke
University agrees. After graduation in December, Ashley heads to Durham,
N.C., to attend Duke’s top-rated accelerated nursing program. “Sometimes
I can’t believe I did it, but I did. I am proof that students can come to the
College and go anywhere,” says Ashley.
