​

Core work:

This year we recorded 70 DUGs, the most ever, having 262 student leaders! All DUGs must have a least one student leader and a faculty sponsor; DUG leaders serve as volunteers. With funding available from The College and the DUG concentration, DUGs plan events or provide resources for current and pre-concentrators. All DUG leaders must submit a set of goals and proposed budget to the CRC if they want to receive funding from The College. Aryana and Alexis held DUG leader training sessions in the fall.

​

New this year:

• At the end of the fall semester, DUG leaders met with new Dean of the College Rashid Zia '01.

• For the first time in years, the DUG budget increased; DUGs could apply for a maximum of $700.00 in funding from The College, to be matched by their concentration/department.

• Also for the first time, DUG leaders were required to submit a year-end report to the CRC. These reports will be shared with the DUG faculty sponsors in the coming year.

• In the spring semester Aryana and Poom started a "DUG Concentration Library," with key texts read by concentrators for pre-concentrators to browse through; this project will continue into the Fall 2019 semester.
