“The honors program has come a long way and we certainly look to expanding that program, because it says something to our community about quality. At the same time, we have a commitment to meeting the workforce needs of the region. … So what we do is really workforce development across the institution,” Dukes says.
Dukes holds a master's and doctoral degree in administrative and policy studies with an emphasis in higher education from the University of Pittsburgh. She is also involved in a host of civic organizations, including the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators, the National Academy Board of Directors, the Council of Law in Higher Education, and the local branch of the NAACP. Dukes also has been recently appointed to the Maryland State Board of Education by Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D). She takes office on July 1.
