Duke University Libraries want to understand the unique experiences and needs of neurodivergent students at Duke.

Maybe you know or suspect that you have ADHD, dyslexia, autism, or a chronic mental health condition. Maybe you process emotions and sensory input differently from most people. You don’t need a formal diagnosis, and you don’t need to be a frequent Duke Libraries user. If you feel like your brain functions differently from what is considered “typical,” then we want to hear from you.

Take the anonymous, 5-minute survey about neurodivergent students’ experiences at Duke. Survey closes November 15th, 2026.

Your input will help us improve library staff training, library services, and library spaces to better meet the needs of all students. It will also contribute to a report that will be distributed to campus units to help faculty and administrators understand what it’s like to be a neurodivergent student at Duke—and, hopefully, make improvements that can support a neurodiverse campus community.

Hope you’re having a great break, Blue Devils💙😈 
Speaking of Fall Break, DSG’s Executive Board FALLs under the Executive Branch of DSG. Some members of our Executive Board are also part of our OLT (Organizational Leadership Team), which oversees organizational wellbeing across all branches. 
The Exec Board’s main duties include developing and implementing an advocacy agenda to promote the welfare of the student body, assisting in the orderly administration of the business of the DSG, serving as a shared resource for its members on all matters pertinent to policy formation and implementation, and issuing executive orders.

Swipe through to meet your Session 33 Exec Board ➡️

🏛️ The President represents DSG externally, guides organizational direction, and works to deliver on campaign goals. The President and EVP lead the Executive Branch, which consists of the Presidential Cabinet, the EVP’s Operations Team, Presidential Committees, and DSG Affiliates. 
👥 The Executive Vice President manages the internal operations of DSG, aids the President in their duties, and coordinates with DSG’s Affiliates and auxiliary organizations. The EVP leads the Executive Branch alongside the President.

👔 The Chief of Staff leads the Presidential Cabinet, consisting of the President’s chief policy and administrative advisors, and helps oversee day-to-day affairs and long-term strategy.

💵 The Chief Financial Officer works closely with the SOFC Chair, DSG Treasurer, and the rest of the Executive Board to ensure that DSG finances are responsibly allocated. The CFO has served in an advisory (non-voting) capacity since Session 31.

📢 The Speaker of the Senate leads our Legislative Branch, chairs our weekly Senate meetings, and manages our Senate Staff. The Speaker also oversees our Committee Vice Presidents. 
💼 Our Committee Vice Presidents chair our five standing Senate committees, each focused on a different area of student life. They shape the DSG policy agenda for their committee in consultation with the President and EVP, serve as the primary advocate and contact for administrators in that area, and support their Senators.

Stay tuned for more meet the team posts🎉
