DUKE SAFETY MEASURES FOR 2021-22 ATHLETIC EVENTS
Duke University and Duke University Athletics are committed to promoting a safe environment for all game day guests. Guests are encouraged to make the right choice for their own safety and the safety of others around them.
Duke will continue to prioritize the health and safety of our extended community.
