Students
Each year we hire from 10-12 Duke work-study students who perform a variety of tasks at the Center. Undergraduate and graduate students from Duke and other universities are actively involved with our volunteer program, which includes acting as assistants in our Animal Training program. Additionally, Duke’s Biological Anthropology and Anatomy Department currently offers three undergraduate classes that are taught at the Center.
